Sure Italy has the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but you know what Italy doesn’t have? That’s right, they don’t have the largest beer spa in the world. You have to make a visit to Clear Lake Canada to experience a suds spa that’s a...
I searched through the encyclopedic enclaves and the dusty tomes that are the cranky old central library. In the back of my mind’s eye I could see it as clear as a Cape Breton rolling fog during a ski mishap induced concussion, the classic treatise on mortal conflict....
Even beer reviewers get writer’s block. I took a look at this pedestrian pilsner and couldn’t think of anything to write about. The big blue jay on the can could be a segue into the start of the baseball season. Go Jays go, so far so good. Perhaps I should have...
The fine folks at Lost Craft may still be searching for that missing boat of theirs, but that doesn’t seem to distract them from brewing some tasty brews. Their Caramilk Stout was a Christmas Eve eve super suds sampling recommended by none other than Bud, the Elf on...
Pedal to the metal, head up, hammer down. Making time instead of my usual practice of wasting it. But I was feeling a bit peckish, a bit dry, with a thirst for more than just knowledge if you know what I mean. So I thought I would put all this high-falutin hands free...

Grolsch, the famous Dutch brewer based in The Netherlands. I wonder which city, town, village or hamlet (Hamlet was Dutch wasn’t he?)* this European brew is brewed in? Perhaps Zundert, the home of Van Gogh? Or Amsterdam, with its colorful districts lit in red and its...
According to Trip Advisor, if you’re visiting Radeberg Germany, near the border to Poland and Czechia, the most popular thing to do there is eat and drink.* And the number one place to do that is Radeberger Brauerei Ausschank.** Sounds like JT’s recent trip to Hungary...
The craft beer industry for most brewers is largely a community endeavour. They cherish their mug club members, their local partners, and the communities they live and work in. Case in point are the fine folks at Fine Balance. One of their stated values is, and I...
Consumer activism in action! We had previously reviewed this Mascot pilsner * and had torn them a second one for them succumbing to the Americanized spellcheck. They described their beer as “flavorful” rather than the Canadian spelling of “flavourful”. This new and we...
