Right! I just got back from New York City on Sunday and am in the middle of writing up a wrap-up post on that trip. BUT! I’ve decided to review a beer that I purchased over there at a WONDERFUL place called the Beer Table at Grand Central Station. The store, which accompanies and represents…

A Spring Reminder: Relax!
Phew. It’s been a hell of a day spent in the garden. I’ve been clearing up all the weeds and branches from the house behind us. Doesn’t sound like much, but when you consider that the backyard has been a freakin’ MESS for years, you’ll know that it’s rough going. Especially since I’ve been doing…
CURRENTLY DRINKING: Three Beligian Beers
So Three Belgians walk in to a bar… Found myself on a weekend having an all-Belgian cast and thought I’d write about these darlings. Two I’ve had before, Delirium Tremens and Westmalle Tripel.

CURRENTLY DRINKING:Skinny Dipping Stout by Sawdust City Brewing Co.
Sawdust City Brewing Co. is a newcomer here in Ontario that I’ve been anticipating to check out for a while. With their official headquarters not even opened up in Gravenhurst, Ontario yet (but will change this spring/summer), they’ve already been making a splash by kicking things off with five (count ’em FIVE) brews. One of the…

CURRENTLY DRINKING: Flying Monkeys SuperCollider Double IPA
This is a beer that I’ve been looking forward to try out for a while. Flying Monkeys Brewery up in Barrie, ON announced this beer over the summer and while it was supposed to be released with the Autumn seasonals in September…the LCBO, I guess, just didn’t feel like it and sent it out early…
My First Beer Workshop
“Aaah! AAAHHHHH” That was mostly the sounds coming out of me when I got in to my house just 20 minutes before I was supposed to start my first ever Thirsty Wench Beer Workshop on Google+ (concept mentioned here) at 9pm with some folks from scattered parts of the globe in attendance. The hours leading up…
CURRENTLY DRINKING – April 27, 2011
Where I talk about the beers that I am currently drinking tonight and attempt to review them. The kind of fun bit is that I’m actually drinking the beer as I’m reviewing it. BLACK CREEK PALE ALE – Black Creek Historical Brewery (Toronto, Canada) – 5% ABV I’ve actually been looking forward to this one since I…
CURRENTLY DRINKING – April 21, 2011
Where I talk about the beers that I am currently drinking tonight and attempt to review them. The kind of fun bit is that I’m actually drinking the beer as I’m reviewing it. BITTER & TWISTED – Harviestoun Brewery (Hillfoots Village, Scotland) – 4.2% ABV Actually, a reader suggested this beer. When I was in…
