So, after a mighty big sandwich, the only thing left to do was make a pick-up of beers that we would be difficult (at best) to get back in Ontario. The weird thing for most Ontarians, is not just that you can buy beer at the local corner store, but that you can buy very […]

La Belle Crawl – Schwartz’s Deli
Okay, so you may or may not know this, but I’m a vegetarian (strictly speaking, I’m a peskaterian, I eat seafood). But I’m also a trained chef, and a big food geek. As well, I spent a lot of my time in highschool in the pages of fiction by Mordecai Richler; pages laced with references […]
La Belle Crawl – Dieu du Ciel!
Ummm, okay, here’s the thing: Dieu du Ciel!, it’s like a beer Mecca. If you don’t know, they make a huge variety of incredible beers, lots of Belgian styles, but also heaps of new-school brews, from badass AIPAs to BIPAs to RISs. Haha, jargon abbreviations kick ass.

Fields, grass, sheep, cows, the usual. Country. Even those fun country-esque sign posts. You might note in the above picture, we’re close […]

Ptown crawl part I – Publican House Brewery
After dropping my mum at her desired location in Peterborough, I headed to Charlotte St and the pleasant Publican House Brewery. Bought myself a growler of Square Nail Pale Ale and had a great chat about their intentions to open up the restaurant part of their facility. It sounds like they’re headed in the right […]
