Four Cranky Quaffers Congregate at the Curious Club

Me: I’m now an official member of the Curious Club. Department of Morality: Sounds like a kinky strip joint. Were you out with Farmer Steve again? Me: Well yes, and JT and RA too, but we were at a brewery called Something in the Water. Department of Morality: I’m sure...

School’s Out Stout

School’s Out Stout

42 years ago, just like Alice Cooper, I was singing school’s out forever,* but here I am back again with a visit to Niagara College for what they so fittingly refer to as  “a beer lesson in a can”. Back in the day I was studying fluid dynamics, these days I’m studying...

Extra Stout, Check It Out

Extra Stout, Check It Out

I saw this Guinness Extra Stout a few months ago and wanted to try it but they were only selling it in six packs. Unless I am fridge stocking I only buy singles because truth be told, if it’s the dregs I don’t have enough friends that I don’t like enough to foist 5...

Ship Shape Stout

Ship Shape Stout

The big lake breeze transforms a warm day into a cool evening. Perfect for a faux fire and a ship shape stout. Time to sip on a ship to shore Shipman’s for sure.  Decew Falls* brewers remind me of Gateway City, both are brewers in love with their local history. Every...

Out and About for a Stout

Out and About for a Stout

Out and about for dinner with the missus. Kibitzing with the movers and shakers, saluting the captains of industry at the local yacht club. But the only Thurston* in the house was my powerful thirstin’ for a frosty brewski.  I was dry docked so to speak. Appetizer...

Mutiny on the Bounty

I was so looking forward to this Roxy Roller* and thought it might turn some heads tonight. I had visited Counterpart and even took a picture of the counter, well part of it anyway. The people there were very nice and it looked like a great place to partake in a brew...

Tomb Raider

Tomb Raider

I guess the only beer you could feature a tomb on would be a dark beer, especially if the tomb in question, the Hopkins Tomb, is haunted. That’s right. Phantasms, poltergeists, spirits, specters and spooks. Lost souls, inexistential insomniacs. All the horrors of a...

We Serve Beer Here

We Serve Beer Here

Lots of breweries are running restaurants that serve beer. But there are still a few chill brewers out there that are running bars that serve food, and Mascot in the entertainment district of downtown TO is doing just that.* A step or two down into a room with no view...
