Another Christmas tall boy that I just got around to sampling. The Goose Island IPA is made by the Goose Island Beer Company. This is one of the few IPAs they carry in the Thessalon LCBO so I’ve tried it before. But it’s been awhile and I didn’t really remember how it tasted. An English […]
Listening: Verity and Doctor Who
While working on repetitive tasks I often listen to music, podcasts, or audio books. One of my favourite podcasts is Verity! which features six women talking about Doctor Who. Many episodes focus on a specific episode with the participants discussing their take, likes, and dislikes of the episode. Recently, they re-watched and discussed “Rose” the […]
Knitting Update: Boot Cuffs
Another knitting project completed! This weekend I managed to finish the boot cuffs I’d been working on. I’m happy with how they turned out – the square pattern is pretty awesome and they look nice enough that I can wear them in public. Plus they go well with tights and one of my favourite pair […]
Muskoka Brewery: Detour
Despite having enjoyed Detour by Muskoka Brewery periodically since the summer I haven’t written about it yet. I’m not entirely sure why. Maybe because it’s by a more run of the mill brewery and is easily accessible everywhere. Regardless, it’s tasty and is a drink that I keep coming back to. Detour is an unfiltered […]
Hop City Brewing Co: HopBot IPA
HopBot IPA. A catchy, rhyming name. And as an added bonus the can had a picture of a robot holding a hop on it. It made me picture a brewery that is very futuristic and completely run by robot overlords. Though that’s probably just my overactive imagination drawing on all the sci-fi I’ve been consuming […]
Beer of the Month: Rye Knot and Red Cream Ale
We’re a bit behind on the beer of the month consumption. I think this beer might have arrived in November but I just got around to sampling it last week. Two of the selections in this shipments were by Taps Brewing Co. from Niagara Falls. By the looks of it Taps is a brew up […]
Old Tomorrow Pale Ale
This was one of those impulse purchases. It was located right by the cash in the LCBO and I’ll admit to buying it because it had a Prime Minter on the can. The funny part being that Andrew bought a can a couple of days later for me, also because there was a Prime Minter […]
Mead Braggot
A few years ago while visiting Traverse City I tried some cherry wine. I tried mostly because Traverse City is well known for the cherries grown in the region and I figured where else am I ever going to try cherry wine. It was super sweet. Okay but not something I’d ever feel the need […]
#365feministselfie
Selfies scare me. I admit it. I’m not sure why – something about the image itself, combined with the trendiness, and the perceived narcissism just sits oddly with me. But I recently stumbled across an initiative called #365feministselfie. The project was started in response to some criticism about the selfie culture and images created by […]
