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...
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...
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...
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...
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,...

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...
At the Burrard Street Ballyhoo for a brew or two, and some dinner too. When in Rome, visit the coliseum, when in Vancouver, carry an umbrella and drink local. Time for a Phillips and we're not talking milk of magnesia, but an Implosion of the Pilsner ilk. Some...
Euro Pilsner and right away I thought of the movie Euro Trip and Matt Damon stealing the show as the band leader making it on the side with Scotty’s girlfriend while singing the song “Scotty Doesn’t Know” on stage with Fiona with Scotty in the crowd. * “I did her on...
Do or die time for the Leafs. Having the immediate family gathered to cheer them on meant explaining the difference between offside and icing more times than I would care to, but how often do you get to have that family quality time together for a Leafs game 7?* As...
