The King or a Pretender?
Martin Luther King, Elvis, BB King, King Kong, Charles. There are many that are well deserving to wear the title King. This brew isn’t one of them. But before I get ahead of myself. Long drive yesterday and at one point I got stuck in a geriatric convoy with a bunch...
It’s Flavourful, Damn It
When I saw the words “flavorful pilsner” on the can I thought to myself “one can hope”. Then I thought that in Canada, isn’t the correct spelling “flavourful”? Humour me for a minute here. Has this brew been Ameri”can”ized? Is our neighbour to the South now dictating...
Call of the Falls
My plan for Father’s Day. Take a motorcycle ride (no falls), have a beer and mow the lawn. So after my bike ride I am doing some Father’s “day” drinking, and the song “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” comes to mind. I tell my son this and he says “as long as you weren’t...
Camp Fire Follies
I’m not much for roughing it now, but back in the day we did some camp ground quaffing, resulting in a few cross-border escapades. Happy hour in A-Bay *when the Canadian dollar was still paper and worth as much as it’s US counterpart. Can crushing, bar hopping and...
Europe on $5 a Day

Apocalypso Now
Apocalypso?? Perhaps a misspelled tribute to the epic war film “Apocalypse Now”*, or the not as epic but still engaging Mel Gibson’s “Apocalypto”.** More likely it is word play in reference to the Calypso hops used in this Collingwood dry hopped pils.*** The Blue...
Bad Köstritzer
The Köstritzer brewery is named after the town of Bad Köstritzer in central Germany and is famous for their schwarzbier which they have been brewing since 1543. They even call their brewery a Schwarzbier brewery. So how will they do with a pale pilsner? A quaffing is...
Time for My Pils
Pils for your ills and ales for what ales ya’. Although I am feeling fine I think it’s time for my pils. You know the old saying, 16 ounces of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Old Ben Franklin spouted that advice back in the day and ended up on the US $100 bill so...
Credit Rating
Out for dinner with Farmer Steve to his favourite Italian restaurant. It must have been an auspicious occasion because despite his reputation for being as tight as a superglued clam, to his credit he paid the tab. Even the waitress was shocked, she said sometimes he...
