The prickly old pineapple is a symbol of good luck, wealth, luxury, welcome and hospitality, fertility, abundance, protection and gift giving. ** It is said to be able to increase confidence and strengthen intuition and psychic experiences. And an upside-down...
Tributary? German Style Wheat? Can you see the concerned look in my words? When it comes to wheat beers I usually go against the grain. Not my thing. I love me an amber, but I’m not too sweet on the wheat. My last Avling adventure was a super suds experience from the...
Another toast to Thursday with the Crownsmen and the beer of the hour is Fernie’s What the Huck, a wheat based ale with huckleberry and blueberry to boot. I’m no huckleberry hound or a backwoods blueberry and I’d rather have wheat in my breakfast cereal than my beer....
Another throw-one-back Thursday and some straight talk with the BC based Crownsmen crew. Quaffing and quipping with the ever-jovial Jerrod and the roguish Rory, with undaunted Devon at the helm making sure the ship doesn’t encounter any icebergs. We are tackling some...
Endless summer, Brian Wilson * wouldn't even have got out of bed for it but I'm all in, as in soaking in the great Muskoka outdoors and soaking up some Muskoka summer suds. I usually prefer wheat in my cereal, and only dabble in the straw once in a Blue Moon, but...
I am accustomed to having my breakfast wheat shredded, not fermented. But if Kris Kristofferson, Jim Morrison and Sheryl Crow all recommend a breakfast barley sandwich then it must be a thing, just not my thing.* Or you could have beerios, which is substituting beer...
A sour wheat beer, this could well be the worst of both worlds. But it’s a Lock Street brew, of Dalhousie docks fame. The proud purveyor of Portside Pilsner, the seaside supplier of Seafarer Scottish suds and the bayside brewer of Black Sail. A great brewer taking on...
Heifer weizen, sounds like a brainy bovine. But no, it’s not a crafty cow but rather a craft quaff, last night’s brew to be precise. We have our French Canadian brewer of the week, 3 Brasseurs, brewing a German style beer with a Japanese name. The COMDB translation...
Is a Belgian wit a comedian from Brussels? I wish. Instead, it’s the dreaded wheat beer, not a COMDB favourite by any stretch of the taste buds. And not just any wheat, a Belgian one. But as I open my beer fridge, this beer of the month club offering is challenging me...
Editor’s Note: A happy hour review, by our intrepid craftmeister RA. That means you get two for one. Two reviews in one that is. A twofer. You get the idea. Review 1: White Tulip. RA: Smells skanky, tastes worse. I’m gonna have to pour it out and try something...
