The Prize Apprised

The Prize Apprised

Another offering from our a Swedish gypsy brewer Omnipollo* was my wing can for the bud’s season opener last night. Another Swede, Nylander,** contributed to an exciting win over the much hated Habs. But the hat trick hero of the night was Matthews who was shooting,...

That’s One Ugly Pike You’ve Got There

I’m what you might call a lazy fisherman. I’m out on the lake lots enjoying the sunset and the peace and quiet. Nothing bothering me, sometimes not even the fish. But I’ve wet the net often enough and I catch my fair share of pickerel, and some high flying weed hawgs....

Motueka?

Motueka?

Ma took her pills? Did I hear that right?  What kind of a name is Motueka anyway? Can you squeeze any more vowels in there, the "i" and the "y" are feeling left out (literally). * Looks like it’s time for a COMDB geography lesson.  Motueka is a small town in the South...

Good to Go

Farmer Steve will be the first to tell you that cheap is good, but not good enough. Cheap beer is good only if the beer is good. The Yup!Beer claim to fame is cheap beer. But good too. Yup!Lite achieved the COMDB Super Suds status seal of approval. Their latest...

Two Putt and Nothing But

Two Putt and Nothing But

By the graphics on the can this seems to be a golf themed brew but I wasn’t familiar with the concept of “two putt” so I had to look it up. It seems that some golfers, I assume professionals, once they get their golf ball on the green, only take two putts to get it in...

A Cool One at the Cottage

A Cool One at the Cottage

Well the summer is finally here in full force and while I do enjoy the great outdoors and all those summer activities, they can create a powerful thirst. Nothing better than to quaff a cool one in the summer. This beer looked delicious right out of the can with a deep...

The King or a Pretender?

The King or a Pretender?

Martin Luther King, Elvis, BB King, King Kong, Charles. There are many that are well deserving to wear the title King. This brew isn’t one of them. But before I get ahead of myself. Long drive yesterday and at one point I got stuck in a geriatric convoy with a bunch...

It’s Flavourful, Damn It

It’s Flavourful, Damn It

When I saw the words “flavorful pilsner” on the can I thought to myself “one can hope”. Then I thought that in Canada, isn’t the correct spelling “flavourful”? Humour me for a minute here. Has this brew been Ameri”can”ized? Is our neighbour to the South now dictating...
