Beer Review: Cheap beer; guest review by bernie the beer baron

While tasting the 34 ounce 8.99$ beer I found it worth every bit of the 8.99$ charged for the 34 ounce 8.99$ beer. The taste didn't matter since the 34 ounce beer was only 8.99$.

The appearance of the 8.99$ 34 ounce beer seemed to be a bargain.

Logic and beer reviews varies inversely with beer consumption.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Would you buy a case of this beer: if possible hell yeah at 8.99 how could you go wrong.
was the beer hoppy: taste buds quit working half way though the glass
would you recommend this beer: if the price is right




if you noticed he never mentioned the beer at all. ....

Beer Review: Quidi Vidi Premium Lager

Well it is again time for another beer review.... Being in Newfoundland it just seems normal to be drinking an extreme amount of alcohol.   This time the review will cover another one of Quidi Vidi brewery beers, Premium Lager.

Based on our beer tasting the premium beer ws created to compete with the molson Canadians of the world. It does this but so so much better.

the appearance is semi light, sort of a mix of a light beer and an amber beer. Pretend you mix white and dark chocolate and it comes out milk chocolate, thats what the beer looks like.

Taste, its smooth.  Tastes like beer.  That is all. But honestly there is no real hop taste and it does taste very similar to a molson Canadian.

If you are a fan of Canadian than you would really enjoy this beer.

Rating: 4 out of 5

Would you buy a 6 pack: yes I would and did.  Personally I may buy a second case if I sober up enough to get another one.

Is it hoppy: nope not at all.

Beer Review: Quidi Vidi Iceberg Beer

It is yet again time for the team van go beer review!!!  This edition takes place from the beautiful island of newfoundland.

The beer being reviewed is by a local microbrewery by the name of Quidi Vidi. The Iceberg beer like its name uses water from a real iceberg.  Yep a real iceberg!

If you are ever in newfoundland you must stop by the brewery for a tasting.

The beer comes in a nice blue bottle which makes it visually appealing.  When you pour the beer in a glass it has a very light appearance.

The taste, what can I say about it. ..... well awesome or fantabulous come to mind!!! Not hoppy at all but has a very smooth summer flavour. Just a pleasure to drink.

Smell.. well I never did smell it I just went straight to drinking.... im gonna assume it smelt like a glacier.....

Quote from Bernie: "not oftrn in life do you get the chance to piss out an iceberg"

Rating: 5 out of 5

Was the beer hoppy: nope not at all.
Would you buy a 6 pack: yup I would and did... actually bought 2 cases both are drunk and also had a lot from a tap...

Weekend Ride Review

Date: Sunday July 21st, 2013
Location: Dufferin Forest
Weather: Perfect!

On Sunday we had a great couple of rides in Dufferin forest... Weather was amazing, could not complain about anything at all.

The weekend ride consisted of 2 rides, the first was more of a training ride, plan was to do the whole manchulada, with little to no stopping... Mother nature on Friday had other plans for us.  Tyler, Don, Chris and Johnny started out heading to the north of 20 trail.  on the way there was new debris down, but as soon as we hit north of 20, a lot of fallen trees.. became more of a game, see how long until the next downed tree.

The loop of north of 20 took longer than planned as the 2nd ride was to start at 4pm... we did the mini manchulada instead, finishing with about 20km.. had a quick beer, then headed out on the 2nd ride.

The 2nd ride included, Tyler, Johnny, Karen, Lori, Lisa, Jacqueline and Max.  Same idea as the first ride, Ken's, Steve's trail, down to the trail to nowhere, then bernie loop and out.  Everyone rode the trails amazing, the new trees down on the trails did add a lot more fun rideable sections.  only a couple downed trees that were not rideable, but everything else, with enough speed and commitment you could make.

Everyone were riding fiends on the trial tackling almost every obstacle with  Karen and Lori riding over almost everything!  Tyler and Johnny did fail once on the spotting and Jacqueline fell where no one was standing.... All in all though a great ride, no complaints at all.  Company was great, riding was great, weather was perfect, and new trees down added some more fun to the whole ride!!!
