Yeah, it gets nice and quiet with the snow too!
I think those people that escape south are just one dimensional. I guess those are the same people who like to avoid flavour in their beer! Living life is experiencing all the variations of nature and appreciating them.

Ontario should be the ultimate place to drink local, in which case anywhere in the province should be great to live. Unfortunately, we treat our industry poorly. Distribution of our quality breweries sucks and too many beer lovers focus on hopping the borders for imports. Don't get me wrong, I love ...

I didn't even know there was the intermediate Don Valley Brewing Company. Any idea where it was located in Don Mills? Initially I thought it'd be odd to have a brewery around here... but realestate is cheaper (that's why I'm here), it's close to the DVP (quick to get downtown outside of rush hour) ...

I haven't lived in the west end for some time, but I do occasionally get back to Rhino. They have consistently (for years) been one of the best values for beer and food. Often I wonder how they pay their bills! It may not be fair to compare others to Rhino's prices, but they earned my loyalty when I...

Kudos and good luck to Jim. Brick was definitely my gateway. Back in the days as a poor student, Red Baron and the other overlooked Ontario brewery of the time, Northern, were the two options for something that tasted like real beer and we could afford. Formosa kept a decent beer alive for the budge...

Sitting in the back of my friend's office in Vancouver enjoying a Rogue Dry Hopped Red Ale. We did the 'kid in a candy store' thing so there will be some serious drinking tonight. Let's see, what else is on the list: Swan's Extra IPA RB Hop Goblin IPA Bear Nation Black Bear Stout Brooklyn Black Choc...

If you are passing through Vancouver, other than the haunts that have been talked about here, I can recomend a new stop I just found. There is an excellent beer and wine shop downtown on Seymour at Smithe called Viti. Brilliant selection and at least one fantastic staff member who really knew her st...

So here are some thoughts back from the front. 1. BC is still a good place to drink beer. :D 2. Spinnaker's and Swans in Victoria are both well worth the visit. The beer and food are great and the staff wear their passion for beer on both sleeves. Swans was out of a few I wanted to try but there wer...

Thai Chicken Noodle soup - the chile, cilantro and lime combine to kick your cold's ass like nothing else. Yes, or anything with lots of chile and garlic. The other possible strategy is to treat yourself so poorly that no virus would want to inhabit your body. Kind of a scorched earth strategy. Rem...

The Beer Store does not recycle. People recycle. The Beer Store is just a depot. It could be the Post Office for all we care; we'd take our empties there. Granting the Beer Store the additional contract to depot the LCBO's empties just sends more revenue their way. I've said it many times, I would l...
