I wouldn’t call myself a sommelier of the sour, but just like Sergio I’ve contemplated the good, the bad and the ugly and captured them for posterity. * And it’s not my first POG either, the classic Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava fruit salad of a sour. ** I’m...
While Brother Kramer shredded his axe, Brother Tyner shredded his vocal chords while imploring the crowd to “kick out the jams, motherfuckers”. * In a classic and necessary radio edit, the intro to that MC5 song that ended up on the airwaves was “kick out the jams,...
It was another big beaked bird who was known to intone “follow your nose, it always knows”. Toucan Sam had the unique ability to smell Froot Loops from great distances.* However, we all know you can’t believe everything you see on TV, or in the papers, or on social...
Good old Theodor Geisel was looking in the mirror on December 26th 1956 when he came up with the Grinch. He was also known to have a drink every now and then. Sounds like he was well qualified to be a member of the cranky old men club. * I was having a beer with RA at...

Standing around on one leg all in pink sounds a little Daft to me, as in Daft Brewing, our favourite flamingo adorned brewer. In our review of Cool Cool Cool we went through fun flamingo facts one through four. Time for fun flamingo fact number five. Flamingoes stand...
Granny Smith cultivated them, René Magritte painted them, and the Beatles put them to music. * Sometimes used in ciders,** now Whitewater is turning them into beer. A green apple sour is the sour of the hour. I have tried peach, psychic pineapple, grape and mango...
According to Sawdust City’s, Electric Storm Sour IPA, and I quote “ Like a face melting guitar solo, this sour IPA smashes into your brain, brings you to your knees and forces you to pray for mercy to the almighty gods of RAWK”! However, according to the first...
