It was 1977 and the only music you could buy back then was vinyl. I used to love “discovering’ a new artist and usually looked for a cool sounding name, hoping for some cool sounding tunes. I couldn’t resist a new album by a group called George Thorogood and the...
It’s been quite a while since I sampled a Side Launch,* and I miss the boat.** But now the boat is back, in the form of a vanilla porter. I was looking forward to this one, although I must admit, vanilla and I have not been on the best of terms. It’s not that I...
If you’re Canadian and participating in Dry February, you picked a bad week to stop drinking. That being said, these political issues seem to be trying and painful, just like Dry February is, but remember what George Harrison said about kidney stones, all things must...
Holy mackinaw, a porter from Founders in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Speaking of Mackinac, Michigan, Grand and porters, I remember the porter at The Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island in Michigan somewhere in time told me that Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour made a movie...
How do I like my coffee you ask. In a porter or stout of course. It’s time for more high times in the Haliburton highlands with our favourite ukelele* strumming brewer, Haliburton Highlands. This time they are in a duet with their neighbour Haliburton County Coffee...

Publican House tells us that “finding a broken record in your collection is never fun.” What I hoped would be fun was finding a Broken Record Porter in my beer fridge collection. One can hope. My record collection has Aerosmith to Zappa, Styx and Stones, the White...
My higher education continues with glasses classes and we ain’t talking about optometry school either. It’s another Beer 101 assignment, this time with Professor Porter. After nearly being suspended for some baby shower beer tasting, it was time to hit the bocks and...
I like mushrooms on pizza and pasta, and as a side with a nice well-done seared sizzled and scorched steak from the BBQ. I’m a big fan of Sawdust City too, great beers and as witnessed here, they aren’t afraid to experiment. When it comes to beer, well I’m a fun guy,...
