    In Defense of Light Beer 

    There’s a great Mitch Hedburg bit where he says “Rice is great if you’re hungry and want to eat 2000 of something.” In this way, I believe rice and light beer have something in common. There are occasions where drinking is an extended affair (or…

    Champagne/Sparkling Wine, Wine

    Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée Brut is an Archetypal Champagne 

    One of my oldest (and favourite) traditions is springing for a decent bottle of proper Champagne for New Years Eve. Previous inductees have included the absolutely divine Pol Roger and the very-good-for-its-price Taittinger. Nearly a decade ago, it even included a different L-P — the…

    Lagavulin 16: A Scotch Worth Sipping (Very) Slow 

    Before its fame on Parks and Rec, before I’d tried another Islay scotch, hell — before this site was called Sublime Imbibing I wrote a blog about Lagavulin 16 and my first time trying it. It’s gone on to become the most read article on…

    Faust Cabernet Sauvignon is a Fantastic “Treat Yourself” Wine 

    With inflation surging, the safety of the “$20 bottle of a varietal and region I like” is getting shaken. By that I mean, if I grabbed a cab sauv north of $20 from Cali, at the very least I expected to enjoy, if not love…

    Henderson Food Truck Lagered Blonde: A Beer for the Refined Dad 

    Dad beer: you already know what I’m talking about. It’s cold, it’s crisp, and by god it ain’t craft. It’s almost invariably a lager (although the occasional amber ale will sneak in), and it’s drunk with enormous aplomb at occasions ranging from graduations to garden…

    Angel’s Envy Bourbon: Not Quite Heavenly Enough For Me 

    Here’s the thing with bourbon — it’s not scotch. Wild revelation, I know. But aside from the grain, barrels, country of origin, etc. bourbon has always been a (generally) more affordable spirit. Unless you’re talking about Angel’s Envy, of which I tried the Port Finish….

    What Happens When You Age Wine? Comparing 2 Reviews of the Same Wine 8 Years Apart 

    Take a trip back in time with me. All the way to the hyper distant world of 2014. My then-girlfriend (now wife) and I had just come back from a 5 month soujourn in South East Asia, and my parents (presumably grateful their feckless son…

    Fitness beer: Has craft finally jumped the shark? 

    Ok, I’m willing to admit it. Craft beer is a little goofy, usually in a fantastic way. I’ve seen just about every variation hop pun, fruit cocktail sour, 15% ABV hyper stout, and some of the wildest looking branding a marketing department could conceive of…

    Becoming a Whisky Drinker: A Beginner’s Guide to Single Malt Scotch 

    For those who are not whisky drinkers, the world of whisky can seem like a minefield with so many different types to explore. From blended, rye and bourbon to Canadian, Irish, and scotch, the variety of whiskies available can seem overwhelming especially if you’re a…

    Drinking in Emirates First Class: What to expect 

    Two years. 14 credit cards. Hundreds of thousands of Alaskan Airlines points. That’s what it takes to fly from Toronto to Dubai in first class on Emirates, if you’re not amongst the “what could a loaf of bread possibly cost? $50?” crowd. But with Covid…
