YES, IT'S COFFEE POT OF BEER TIME! Today's Java Fix is @sawdustcitybeer Juicin' New England Style IPA. Created by brewers James and Caleb, this is huge peach but more importantly, a hazy with a big, thick body. Oats and wheat malts will do that. At 6%, a longtime favourite!

IT'S BEER IN A COFFEE POT TIME! While Boneshaker sets a high bar for west coast piney beers, so too does @amsterdambeer 6.5% Boneshaker Juicy Haze IPA. It's not the peach or melon. It's the body. It has some. Steps above most of its thinner juicy and hazy breathen. A tasty pot!

While @vegasvaluations Jamie is better known for Mimosa Madness Meets, he's one of the big helpers to organizer @GaryBohamed for a two-day party honouring one of the originals of Vegas social media. Get ready... get set...
Shortly after Mimosa Madness, my buddy @GaryBohamed reached out about helping organize an event celebrating some of the OGs of Vegas social content. The second he mentioned some of the names he had in mind, I was all in. A lot of these creators were the people who inspired me jump into Vegas content in the first place. Details are still being finalized, but if you’ll be in Vegas on August 25 or 26 and might be interested in attending, send a DM to me, Gary, @m6drop, or @Vegas_Legacy_. We’ll make sure you get the info before it opens up publicly.

IT'S COFFEE POT OF BEER TIME! Red Ales are a style that is slowly fading from view. (Ditto Black IPAs and Slushie Sours.) Brewers aren't making them as much because no one's buying. (Guilty as charged.) A shame because @RailwayCity Iron Spike is a great example of the style.

YES, IT'S COFFEE POT OF BEER TIME! Here's a perfect pairing! While that usually refers to beer and food, this time it's what's in the carafe - @TomorrowBrewCo Double Up Coffee Milk Stout. Using lactose for the cream flavour, this 6.5% brew tastes a lot like my double double.

YES, IT'S A COFFEE POT OF BEER! Did a couple of months in the hospital (leg operation) and when I came out, my coffee maker had kakked. So I put the pot to a new use - beer! Might as well start with my favourite, my desert island beer - @NickelBrookBeer Headstock IPA! Tasty Java!

IT'S FRIGID FEBRUARY AND THAT MEANS STOUTS! From tiny Blyth, Ontario, from @CowbellBrewing here's their Chocolate Imperial Nitro Stout. You're supposed to crack it and then hold the can upside-down above the glass. I can't do that and slowly side-pour. At 9.5%, it's choco magic!

FEBRUARY IS BORING... BUT ONLY 28 DAYS! So @bellwoodsbeer and @BloodBrothersTO did a couple of collabs and Goblin's Trill Double IPA was one. (Trill usually refers to the sounds birds make while warbling.) Mostly peach and orange here, 8%, thick, rich and smooth. Super drinkable.

YEAH, FEBRUARY IS COLD... BUT IT'S SHORT! Back to one-at-a-time beers (but repeated as needed.) Okay, here's @refinedfool We Blew Through Our Crown Budget IPA (no idea.) Just 5% so to me a Pale Ale, this is nonetheless quite good. West coast, tart from a berry (blackberry?) 👍👍

IT'S BEER AND BURRITO TIME! Tried a new burrito place today and it's a beauty. Apparently, Burrito Guyz is a small southern Ontario chain and they made a helluva good ground beef burrito. Washing it down is a @refinedfool Big Sexy IPA, a tasty west coaster. Perfect Sunday snack.

DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY COMES TO A CLOSE! Tomorrow, all those poor folks observing Dry January can crack 'em and smile! For me, the year's only 55 day month ends with my local @refinedfool Todd Is An Absolute Beauty Pale Ale. Mostly orange with a bit of passionfruit, it's a banger!

DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY... As this, the longest month of the year with 63 days winds down (no wonder @Pennys2Vegas bailed on Dry January), here's one from local @refinedfool, their Van Full of Weirdos Juicy IPA. I think this may have been their first hazy. 6.2%, orange, the usual.

Welcome to Sarnia, Ontario, Canada. It's now January 41st, 2026 and this junk refuses to quit. Yes, pretty to look at but try driving in it.

DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY! Out of Grand Bend, an hour north of me on Lake Huron shoreline, Torched Brewing is only open 3 days/week (Friday-Sunday.) Their Hazy IPA is typical of the style. At 5.8%, it's the orange-melon flavour mostly. Decent but nothing memorable, to be honest.

YESTERDAY'S DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY! You like chocolate? Step on up. The @CameronsBrewing Chockie Wockie Chocolate Milkshake Stout has the sweet cocoa bean in spades, baby! I really wish my Oakville friends would make this year-round. Could use a chocolate beast in the summer!

DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY CONTINUES! From my local @refinedfool, here's their Pouch Envy IPA. Okay, #1) This is 5%. That's a Pale Ale in my books. To me, IPAs start at 6%. And #2) This brewery makes some great beers but man, this is thin. SO thin. I'll stick to their others.

DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY CONTINUES! Even though @Pennys2Vegas has discontinued his Dry January quest, others are suffering and it's up to me to save the economy! However, if I enjoy two @CowbellBrewing 8% Double Exposure Double IPA, am I actually Double-Double-Fisting January?

STILL DEDICATED TO DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY: While @Pennys2Vegas may have abandoned his Dry January quest, dammit, I'm no quitter! I'm sticking with Double-Fisted January! From my local @refinedfool Big Sexy IPA, a 6.8% west coaster with orange and malt in the middle. Sexy, indeed!

BACK TO... DOUBLE-FISTED JANUARY! Again, filling the huge economic void left by @Pennys2Vegas Dry January, from my local @refinedfool comes the 6.5% Florida Stole My Parents O.J. IPA. Guess what this tastes like? 😃😃 This almost tastes like it's an important part of breakfast!

THIS IS THE VERY DEFINITION OF A LONG-SHOT! On Wednesday night, David has bowling practice on the edge of Sarnia. The alley has a tiny bar with four taps - Bud Light, Stella and (SERIOUSLY???) @GreatLakesBeer Octopus Wants To Fight IPA?? Everything coming up roses for Donny!!
