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...
Popping the top on one big bad Berliner bear of a beer. Will it be unbearably bad, or barely bearable? Maybe it will bear up to the scrutiny of the COM, or perhaps even get a super suds bear hug? Straight from Germany, the big red bear* is serving up a pilsner trio on...
When we have our son’s dog and our daughter’s dog over, they team up with our buffalo breathed butt sniffing leg humper for a toothsome threesome. And every time someone walks past our house the canine choir kicks in, and our house sounds like the pound from hell....

When you retire you get lots of advice. Financial tips from guys trying to borrow money from you. Happiness advice from pissed-off old timers done wrong by the world. Relationship guidelines from people on their fifth spouse. Health advisories from people twice as...
Arrivederci dry Feb, we’re ushering in an extra dry March with an extra dry pilsner after an extra day February. An upholder of the Bavarian Purty Laws, this Friesisches Brauhaus offering is straight from Jever, Germany* to my glass via Brooklyn New York. From the...
From Bench, “the beer from wine country” comes an oaky pilsner, some wood craft so to speak. Oaked usually refers to a process of storing wine in oak barrels before bottling. All that Bench tell us is that this brew has “rustic complexity from the use of oak.” The...
“Wasn't she a beer drinkin' woman? Don't ya know, man don't ya know?” In 1941 Memphis Slim* was singing about his date at the Ruby Tavern who drank away all his money! I’ve heard of blind dates, but this sounded like a blind drunk date. Fast forward to some 30 years...
