This is one ALE OF ABEEER


Big Rock Traditional Ale

You've all had it. Admit it. Art openings. The Garn -yess. Your first date. Your last date.
Right now. When you are at Dewey's trying to seduce engineering students. When you lie about your age and career potential. Don't lie you are drinking it. We just shoot it back with red wine.

When was the first time you drank this?
M: The first time I moved to Canada.
Who were you with?
M: A bunch of Canadians. A few Americans. ummm, might have been some squirrels in the vicinity.
What do you think of Canadians?
M: Very non confrontational and ponderers. Not doers.
Have you ever seen the Big Rock?
M: um I saw some sticking out of the ground with some mountains goats.
OH> WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TRAD?
M: um. (as he swirls his wine). It tastes like donkey pee and jasmine leaves.
THIS IS SHOCKING.




budwieser


American past time. Beer. America. This is Budweiser. But it's brewed in Canada. It's fantastically woodish with a splinter of delight. It has subtle notes of woodriff and yeef. Its red and white and there might be blue or black on it. So Canadian with the potential for Americans to drink it.
Would you drink it?
M: I would drink it for the tall boy cans. Because it works
What do you like about the tall boys?
M: There's more in it.
When did you first drink it?
M: At a baseball game.
How many did you drink:
M: 7
Who won the game?
M: The Texas Rangers. Ryan Nolan was pitching. And he only has one hand.
Does he really?
M: Yes. But maybe not
Would you recommend Budwieser?
M: Only as a substitute for the Kokanee wary.
Are you wary of Kokakanee?
How do you spell Kokakane?
M: It tastes like liverwurst and dirty glacier water
THIS IS SHOCKING.
M: ahahaheeehaheeheeehehehe
What are you drinking right now?
M: Whiskey
Why?
M:Cause I'm a badass and an american texasss stranger.
What do you think of wine?
M: um. its for horses and ladies with horse.
I think you are lying.
M: Sometimes its for people who like wine.
What are you really drinking!!?
M: dirty South African wine.
THIS IS SHOCKING.

Stay tuned for more adventures and journalistic truth telling and investigation.

Red Racer
India Pale Ale
I once had the most beautiful bicycle anyone could ever imagine, it was red and shiny and it filled my heart with joy, loads of it. After a party night at a party house, and after I had failed to lock up my Joy-on-Wheels with the idea that "who would ever steal someone's joy?", my bicycle was thieved. Taken on a joy-ride, it's true purpose in life really. Little did I know when I rode that bicycle to that party on that fateful June evening, it would be my last.
Rest In Peace, Little Red Bicycle, and hopefully not in pieces.
UNTIL NOW!
RED RACER, you have provided a pseudo replacement for that hole in my heart. Well, kind of. Red Racer is not a bike, i wish it were, but a tribute to my lost love.
Let me say this, the beer, it is STRONG. It is powerful, and it hit me in the face. I drank two and decided "this beer is good beer"
A gift from my Auntie Jacquie, who was become the brain power of all things alchohol related after starting a job at the Kensigton Wine Market, Red Racer is a new and exciting beer from the West Coast. I shall shone anything rare and or new and or exciting. There are four left... and I will drink them through the summer when I need to remember Little Red Bicycle, my joy.

Crabbie's Original Alchohoholic GINGER BEER
aka a fine aphrodisiac
Although the life span of this particular beer was sadly and tragically cut short
it will soon be reincarnated because the little taste of heaven that we had was
enough of a promise of perfection to look for more. In the meantime, it can rest on its laurels as the first ginger beer I have ever liked.
Sincerely, your saddened but resilient reviewer.
Geographically Confused Beer Part 1 of 1
Holland Bavarian
Brewed with Pride Somewhere Between
Holland, Germany, and Switzerland
We are not Sure. But I will Claim It as DUTCH
and Drink this fine fellow brewed by a Family
of Bavarian Dutch Folk.

Beyond my eyes being open to other Dedutch beer besides de Heineken,
this specimen of a summer beer was quite a DElight.
Heel Lekker! I exclaimed, Proffering the explanation that that is Dutch for
"Dis is vary gooed! But we should remove the Bavarians!"
Makes sense to me I say. It sparkles nicely, quite similar to the effect of rainbow streamers in birch trees. BUT note, this dutch beer does not go well with cupcakes. Veggie Dog approved though.

Best Regards,

Your Fearless Runner of the Woods.
