Thornbridge Eldon Oak Infused Imperial Stout with Davey
Thornbridge Eldon Oak Infused Imperial Stout, a Dickensian(*) name to be sure. Thornbridge Brewery is in the UK and the names of their beers seem to indicate an affinity for […]

Innis & Gunn Hopped Bourbon Cask Ale with Davey
Innis & Gunn Hopped Bourbon Cask Ale. It comes in a box, has lots of words, is kind of expensive. The trio of beer greatness, as it were. However, as does […]

Dewar’s 12y Ancestor Blend with Dan, Davey, Matt & Steve

I have been travelling a lot lately. Michigan, Cambridge Bay, Vancouver, and this past week I added Jasper. In two days I head to Thunder Bay. Aside from seeing some […]
Gibson’s Finest Rare 12y with Davey
Okay… This is a head-scratcher. This might technically be a Round 2, but it’s hard to say. We’ve had Gibson’s Finest 12y before, but it didn’t have the word “Rare” on it, […]
Ty·Ku Soju with Davey & Alex
Ty·Ku Soju is an odd one. An Japanese-referencing take on a Korean beverage, made by two American bros. Seriously, they got into this so they could get drunk and “maintain […]

Heyheyhey fellow whiskynauts. I’m overnighting in beautiful Edmonton International Airport (YEG) and so a well written, hilarious, provocative or fact-checked post is just not in the works this week. So, […]

Innis & Gunn Rare Oak Pale Ale with Davey
Woohoo! First new Innis & Gunn since September! Innis & Gunn Rare Oak Pale Ale is a weird one for sure. I’m not usually a fan of pale ales due […]
