Hilary Takes Us to the Moon

Hilary Takes Us to the Moon

Touring the Muskokas with Farmer Steve and his progenies, we had to check out the Largest Beer Spa in the World. Much to our surprise, early October and the place was as busy as an Apple Store on Black Friday. What’s no surprise is that our Muskoka tour ended up at...

Not To Worry

Not To Worry

Should I be worried that I don’t worry enough? According to Bobby Ferrin and Alfred E. Neuman life is too short to worry away the day.* Brock Street Brewing seems to espouse the same philosophy with their Don’t Worry Be Hoppy. At first, I thought this brew was an IPA...

European? Maybe. Napanean. Definitely.

European? Maybe. Napanean. Definitely.

Road weary, feeling low down on the highway, I made a pit stop at an off-highway Timmies. I’m a plain old fashion regular guy, as in a medium regular coffee with an old fashion plain donut. A unique feature on my GPS, it searches for nearby breweries. A walking...

You Would Have to be Daft to Brew a Beer This Good

You Would Have to be Daft to Brew a Beer This Good

The COM did a pit stop at Daft and before we filed our flight plan RA sampled Cool Cool Cool. I asked him what he thought and he said “tastes like beer” which coming from RA is a great compliment. So I was eager to sample this flamingo adorned dry hopped Pils. Did you...

Philomena’s Secret Recipe

Philomena’s Secret Recipe

My maternal ancestors, United Empire Loyalists all, have names like Millie, Flora, Mable, Zelda and other names you just don’t see much of today. But I have never run into a Philomena,* the MacKinnon Brothers granny who is immortalized in this pilsner. Speaking of...

A Smoky from Muskoky

Ritchie Blackmore saw it on the water, the Platters got some in their eyes, Matt Dillon's was from a gun, and Fonger is glad it's legal now.* Yep, we're talkin' smoke. A smoky campfire pilsner from Muskoka to be exact. Swillin' and grillin' Lord willin'. Not that it...

Something and Then Some

Something and Then Some

Are they a midtown K-Town brewer or downtown hog town brewer?* When we first sampled their Hazy Maitland I thought Something in the Water was Kingston based but they say they hail from the little apple’s Liberty Village. And yet Pakenham and Perth provide the malt and...

Mozzle Have Another

Mozzle Have Another

Site visit report! And it’s a Kame & Kettle Canada Day weekend draft craft quaff. They tell us the name of this pilsner can be best defined by using it in a sentence. “While you are here, you mozzle have a beer.” * The correct response is “Don’t mind if I do.” So,...

Flower Power

Flower Power

Assuming that the word “Fiore” is Italian, this is an Italian Style Pilsner after all, I called in the COMDB translation department. They love Italian, the language of love they call it. Probably the only love they get around here. Me, I'm not that familiar with the...

A Dry Thirst Unction from the Junction

A Dry Thirst Unction from the Junction

A dry thirst unction, a pilsner from the Junction. I think that’s the first time I’ve ever used the word unction in a sentence, let alone rhymed it.*  A Reader’s Digest “Increase Your Word Power” moment. Another Oilers loss last night, they look like the better team...
