At the Ontario Craft Brewers big beer conference and the taps open at 10AM, about the time I’m usually having my second cup of coffee, and Farmer Steve is having his second pot. You would have to cross the Atlantic to find that special 5 o’clock somewhere spot at 10AM...
“Come together, right now, beer me”. In 1969 the Beatles were singing my song, 6 months later they split up. * According to Silversmith and Blackburn some things are just better together. I would tend to agree. There’s Lennon and McCartney, Matthews and Marner, The...
The word North is like the word Mother-in-law. No, not icy and cold, what I mean is it’s a relative term. If you live in the US of Eh, then Canada is the Great White North. 80% of Canadians would call anything North of Winnipeg the boondocks. * I’ve worked in the...
The name Augusta may hold special significance to you if you’re a golfer or a Roman Empress. * For anyone that has golfed with me it is quite clear I am not the former. And I have never cross dressed at a Toga party so that eliminates the latter. But if you are from...
Some day drinking on a Thursday. You guessed it, time for another edition of the COMDB & Crownsmen Show. Jerrod’s top 5 list was the top 5 Crownsmen shows. Upon review it was determined that most important factor in terms of viewer numbers and engagement was...

It’s another edition of the Crownsmen Show, and today’s theme was winners and losers. Jerrod had his top 5 worst engineering disasters, and as the Civil Engineers * would say, truss me on this, it was fascinating. Rory spent his time introducing us to a stock that no...
After Bavaria left us in a Holland-daze we are back in Europe again for another kick at the beer can. This time in Germany although still not Bavaria. * It’s a Bitburger to go, hold the cheese please,** and no I don’t want the meal deal, just the beer thanks. And this...
In the immortal (immoral?) words of JT, “I’m looking for a beer that tastes like beer”. After quaffing a peachy apricot wheat and a bombastic blonde blowout, JT’s fearless philosophizing rings true for me. Enter Grand River and their Czech Pilsner. According to GR,...
From Farmer Steve’s Nova Scotian pilgrimage we move West to la Belle Province with a Belle Gueule Pilsner from Les Brasseurs RJ out of Montreal. Despite my passing knowledge of the French Language * I am contractually obliged to engage with the sometimes cryptic,...
