I cannot say enough how sorry I am. I supported a server company, and they pretty much took advantage of my love. I was burned. They left me out to dry, and you all have been without my witty insightful posts for nearly a week. For many of you, perhaps, you didn’t notice, and that’s […]

The USA drawn by breweries
I must admit, I do like good infographics. And, of course, I like beer. So this seems to be a natural fit. Of course, it’s the USA, but it’s a good starting point if you’re traveling to a state where you don’t know a good brewery to check out. I’m tossing around doing one of […]
Periodic Table of Beer
I was just emailed this by a friend (Thanks Chad!) and thought I would share it. Fun and useful chart to help define beer styles. Originally posted here: http://beergeno.me/2010/10/periodic-table-of-beers/ a worthy blog indeed.
An open challenge
In the midst of Federal Election challenges and with Provincial Election ones looming in Ontario (and BC? I’ve lost track), this might sound like I’m getting political on my blog. I’m not. Jerry Lee Lewis famously said “What made Milwaukee famous, made a loser out of me.” Good for you Jerry. You also married your […]
A Royal Affair, A Royal Beer
Most people probably know that Prince William and Kate Middleton are being married today. And I’ll admit, I’ve been up since 4am watching online. And of course, I’m drinking a beer. What beer, you ask? Duchy Originals by Waitrose, Old Ruby Ale. So why this beer? Well, it’s lovely for one thing, and it’s made […]
Dealing with Customers; Dealing with Bartenders
I just came across this article by British beer legend, Pete Brown (incidentally, if you don’t already, you should probably follow Pete’s blog). Feel free to take a few moments to read it, but let me summarize: Pete, who knows enough about beer to make the call, returned a pint as it was laced with […]
Twenty Eleven
Hello and happy new year! I trust that all and sundry had a pleasant holiday, and enjoyed some lovely brews to ring in the new year. This is a looking-forward post. I plan on doing a looking back one in the days to come, re-living some of the highlights of the year that was. The […]
Christmas Eve
Hello BeerBlog readers! Not too much beery to discuss today, just a little note on Christmas eve to wish everyone celebrating tomorrow, whether the purchase of presents the gathering of family or the birth of a savour, a very merry Christmas. I just picked up my delivery of St John’s Wort Christmas Ale, and will […]
Sick sick sick
Hey there all, Just a quick note to say sorry for the silence, I’ve had one of those infections that have learned how to avoid common passe antibiotics like Amoxicilin, and require those big gnarly ones taht make you feel like puking, but which cost $8 a peice, so you focus with Zen-like concentration on […]
Canada Hat-trick
What is more Canadian then scoring a hat-trick? Well, blueberry pancakes with maple syrup. And canoes. And a variety of other things, but you get the point. So to celebrate Canada last week, I took it upon myself to review three beers. Yes, life has been crazy, so I’m only publishing them now, but still, […]
