Years ago, when I was thinking about extra part time jobs I might take on, I had this idea that I could set up an ice cream van that dispensed soft serve goats milk cheese. The brand was going to be "I Can't Believe This Came Out Of A Goat!" It never happened ... This evening I was reminded of the idea when I pulled a chunk of bouc émissaire, a young raw goat milk cheese by Fromagerie Chaput of Quebec. Tangy creamy goodness with just that hint of goat. Goatiness is a bit of a twist for the

A Belgian pale ale from the USA's Upper Midwest. This one smells good. Either that or I smell really bad. I've just finished two 16 hour days so it is not beyond the realm of possibility. But I've been in a jacket and tie the whole time. So it's likely the beer or the guy next to me was inordinately polite ... Medium pale golden ale under a thin rim of white. Apple and pear on the nose with a little nutmeg. More in the mouth framed in a sweetish effervescent rich ale. Plenty of bready

I have no real skin in this question. Never met the man but at the same time have plenty of his books. Professionally with my LLB / LLM [Ed.: not as impressive as might seem to suggest ] and academically with my BA in English [Ed.: now, bow ye down before me ] I am used to the idea that there are many points of view about a person's writing that should be taken into account.

Is Canada The Nation Best Built For Beer?

I am having a nice glass of beer. Belgian beer as it turns out. I was trying to read Pete Brown's series on "Answering the Neo Prohibitionists" but I am reflecting on how nice it is to live in a country where there really isn't any organized political outcry against beer as in the UK or any shock and surprise when our leaders have a beer. Nor is there the need to take the sorts of stance Pete feels compelled to take. Consider this: ... No one questions that our soldiers in Afghanistan get a beer
