This cherry porter got me not only drinkin’ but thinkin’. First of all, it was my wingcan for Hockey Night in Canada and cheering on the mighty Leafs who prevailed against the Boston bruises. But I must admit, during the intermissions I channel surf without Don Cherry...
First off, I am not a pumpkin fan. A vegetable* that is a huge waste of space, good for decorations and killing an hour with the grand kids carving jack-o-lanterns. Roasted seeds the size of your pinkie nail from a great orange bloated sphere of mush. Why would anyone...
Two cranky old men quaffing and commenting on the same brew the same evening, double trouble for sure. I reached out to my old buddy Rick and let him know that I was going to partake in a Double Trouble Pecan Pie Porter, knowing that he had one on ice as well. This is...
According to the info on the can, Tobermory Brewery is located in the center of the quaint village of Tobermory, facing the docks of Little Tub Harbour. Get to know the neighbourly feel of a small village they say. Sounds charming, makes me want to drop by and make a...
The story on the can is so far fetched that it is probably true.* Don’t drink this one too cold. Tiny effervescent bubbles of coffee infuse deliciousness. Quite bitter but smooth. I couldn’t pick up any coconut in this brew, perhaps the combination of coconut and...

Hockey Night in Canada, and a Highlander Porter to help me cheer on my Leafs. It all starts with the pour and what can I say. It seemed to pour thick, perhaps substantial is a better descriptor. Nice tan head over black. Even DaVinci couldn't have painted as pretty a...
I thought this one was going to have a big aroma, not so. I thought this one was going to have a big taste, not so. What this one does have is a beautiful smooth coffee chocolate taste that could be enjoyed year round. Slightly bitter undertones, maybe not a year...
Supporting starving artists with snazzy art work on the cans. Maybe not as impressive as a Beau’s tractor or a velvet Elvis but still eye catching. But wait a minute, this artist is from Atlanta Georgia? They don’t even have heating bills in Atlanta, do they? Perhaps...
Vanilla beers do not have a good track record with me (Lion’s Winter Ale, or Goodbye Gravity ) but I keep trying them. I don’t know if I am naïve or idealistic* but I keep thinking there has got to be the dreamy “just right” combination of the two that won’t offend...
