If you’ve got peaks, that means you’ve got valleys too, just the way the world works. Although a lot of people are wondering just how does the world work these days. The way things have been going lately it seems like the earth is bi-polar. About all I have figured...
In the land of McDavid, Edmonton that is, although after the 4 Nations win Canada is probably the land of McDavid. At least until the next Oilers Leafs game. I’ve always been a buy local kinda guy, especially when it comes to beer. Shout out to O’Byrnes Irish Pub for...
The Italian lights are certainly a highlight of my past trips. The beautifully lit canals of the Venetian, so romantic at night. Then there is the impressive stature of Ceasars Colosseum, even more impressive in the evening. And of course, those famous Italian...
I dated a girl named Purity once. Or was it Felicity? No. Maybe it was Serenity. No that wasn’t it either. Trinity perhaps? How could I forget, it was Chastity, but that relationship didn’t go too far. * Walkerville is citing the Bavarian Purity Laws** as the origin...

No, it’s not a typo. We aren’t having a good ol’ Friday boil up in the woods of Baie Verte. It’s “Boii” as in “boii oh boii am I ever thirsty”.* I had a great idea. What if the bartender at Bridgewater operated the lift bridge over the Welland Canal with one of the...
My Editor warned me about reviewing this one, take it easy on the Mafia he said. He didn’t realize that Thin Man is based in Buffalo NY and Pills Mafia is a tailgate tip of the tankard to the Bills Mafia, the hardcore Buffalo Bills football fan base. I’ve been a...
I studied beer in college as well, although perhaps my curriculum was not as formal as the one at the Niagara College Teaching Brewery. Looking back, I recall my program was more focused on sampling.* But NC are educating the next hop crop of budding brewers and the...
