We trust that everybody's now comfortably back at work after the holidays, rested and refreshed and ready for whatever winter can dole out (residents of Northern NS, Cape Breton and Newfoundland may have already been well-tested on that front, but we trust we'll all get our share before the season's over). And a big shout out to all of those doing that whole Dry January thing; you're now a third of the way to insanity success! For the rest of you, we've got plenty of news as always about new breweries, new beers, and all the other news we could gather.
Let's kick off this week's news with another opening in our region, New Maritime Beer. After launching their brand with a pair of beers this summer, they are now ready to welcome folks to their taproom at 55 Newcastle Blvd in Miramichi. The taproom is opening Saturday at 1 PM (until 11 or later if the party is still rockin'!), and open daily going forward (except for Mondays). They will be pouring an American Pale Ale, IPA, and Stout, brewed elsewhere while they complete the installation and commision of their brewhouse. The new equipment was manufactured by Saint John's Copper Leaf Brewing Equipment, an 1800 litre brewhouse, and should be in full force next month. The 90 seat taproom features plenty of cozy touches like a fireplace, and plenty of comfortable seating. While they do not yet have food onsite, you can feel free to bring or order your own in. Keep an eye here, and on their Social Media (Fb/IG) for news of new releases (we've already heard tell of Juicy and West Coast IPAs, as well as more Pale Ales, Stouts, and Session IPAs coming down the pipeline once they are fully open).
Sea Level Brewing at Millstone Harvest Brewhouse in Sheffield Mills has a brand new release on the taps (and coming soon to cans) these days. A Light in the Dark is a 4.0% ABV Kolsch Ale, the latest of their beer releases to use barley grown at their farm, and malted at nearby Horton Ridge Malt & Grain. Opting for a light-coloured and sessionable beer at a time many seasonals are going dark and heavy, there is still plenty going on in the glass. The beer also features Cascade grown at the farm, complemented by Glacier grown by Fundy Hops. The beer is available now on draught at the Brewhouse (for onsite enjoyment or to go), with growlers, and soon cans, at their Port Williams location as well.
Speaking of Horton Ridge, they have a new beer available this week as well. When you're a combination malt house/brewery and you're looking to use up a previous crop of grain, you build a beer around it! That's exactly what they've done with The Ridge Rosé, a Farmhouse-inspired Pale Ale. The grist was made up mostly of Queens Pale Malt, a variety of barley developed in PEI that gives an earthy malt profile, which works well in Farmhouse styles, according to Horton Ridge. Also brewed with a touch of Rye malt, and hopped with Saaz, the goal was to brew a base beer that would provide a good amount of malt character, yet also allow the secondary ingredient to shine through – in this beer, Muscat grape skins from Benjamin Bridge and Luckett Vineyards. After aging on the skins for close to two months, the 5% ABV beer has taken on tart, fruity flavours, as well as a subtle maltiness. It's pouring on tap at the brewery, where you can also pick up some cans to take home.
Last summer, Off Track Brewing released a pilot batch of Boatload of Nerve, an experimental DIPA. Availability was obviously quite limited, and the beer went over very well, so luckily for us they've scaled it up and brewed a full batch! Hopped with a blend of El Dorado and Mosaic, this 8% ABV, 95 IBUs DIPA sports "notes of pear and mango, with a slight hint of pine", as well as a touch of herbal/earthy character. Slightly hazy, it's only available on tap… however, future batches MAY be bottled if the demand is there. For now, your best bet to find it is at the brewery .
Halifax's Garrison Brewing has a new release out this week, sure to satisfy the hop lover on your list (in addition to yourself, of course!). The latest in their Hop Trip series, Southern Hemisphere IPA is 6.0% ABV, and while it is 30 IBU on paper, the hops are certainly the star of the show. Using loads of Galaxy, Topaz, and Vic Secret, three Australian-grown hops. Intense aromatics of passion fruit, melon, grapefruit, and pineapple come through thanks to the generous use of hops throughout. The beer is available on draught for samples, pints, and growler fills at their brewery at the Seaport, as well as the Oxford Taproom, with cans available at those locations as well as a few NSLC and private stores. And for the month of January, all sales/donations through Popcorn with a Purpose, a charitable endeavour at the Oxford where popcorn sales are donated, will be going towards the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief and Recovery.
Friendly alert for those of you in or around Liverpool NS: local brewery Hell Bay has just released Barrel-Aged Brown Ale, a 9.5% ABV Brown that was aged for six months in Bourbon and rum barrels from Lunenburg's Ironworks Distillery. Featuring a "rich, brown malt body with distinctive rum flavour", it's sure to pack a punch with that high ABV, despite the alcohol character being nicely hidden. Bottles are limited, so don't wait to pick up a couple, as no doubt they'll age in your cellar perfectly!
Something new and hoppy fresh out of 2 Crows this week, a 5.4% ABV, 31 IBUs New England IPA named Merida. Hopped very heavily with Mandarina Bavaria, Huell Melon, and experimental hop Bru-1, you can expect plenty of juiciness in this one, along with "Tang, pineapple, stone fruit, and cantaloupe vibes". Available on tap and in cans right now at the brewery. And hey, even more good news – while there, why not grab some cans of the latest batch of Waltz, their German Pilsner? This batch was tweaked slightly, as the beer was brewed with 100% PEI grown-and-malted Shoreline Malting Pils malt. They've played with the dry-hopping technique as well, making this iteration "extra bright", with more floral and lemon notes than usual.
Hanging nearby Rothesay, NB this weekend? Pop on over to the Hammond River taproom, where they've tapped a brand new experimental beer. Another entry in the brewery's Dry-Hopped series, Dry Hopped Sour (Sorachi Ace). The base beer is a Berliner Weisse, kettle-soured with HR's house Lactobacillus strain. This particular batch was dry-hopped entirely with Sorachi Ace from local Moose Mountain Hop Farm, giving the beer plenty of lemon notes in the aroma and flavour, to complement the tartness in the finish. And hey, if you can't get to Rothesay, you should be able to find it on tap at The Joyce in Fredericton. And at only 3.5% ABV, you can have a couple and not feel too guilty!
If you're feeling more cidery this weekend (is that a thing? It should be!), Annapolis Cider Company has you covered. They've launched the latest in their Something Different series, a sparkling cider and wine blend named Harvest Rosé. Marechal Foch (a hybrid French red wine grape) was locally harvested, with the juice co-fermented with fresh-pressed Gravenstein apple juice. This dry, cider-wine blend was then FURTHER blended with small batch, dry Gravenstein ciders which were prepared by the Annapolis Cider retail staff, fermented using four different yeast strains. Still following along ok? Great! Finally, fresh-pressed Geneva Crab apple juice, a "red-fleshed apple variety", was added to finish it all off. The result? An "elegant, off-dry rosé cider with bright acidity, and notes of red berries and fresh apples". It comes in at 7.2% ABV, and $0.50 from each refillable bottle purchases will go towards Ronald McDonald House Charities Atlantic.
Lunenburg's Shipwright Brewing isn't slowing down one bit as we've moved into 2020, and they've got two new beers pouring at their taproom to prove it. The first is Captain's Orders Hopfenweizen, their take on the hoppy Hefeweizen style. Brewed with a 50/50 blend of German Pale and Wheat malt, it was hopped with Magnum and Hallertau Blanc in the boil (to 35 IBUs). Fermented with a Weizen strain, the 6.5% ABV beer was then lightly dry-hopped with Amarillo. It's showing classic Weizen aromas of banana and clove, along with some citrus thanks to the dry-hop addition. Medium-bodied and refreshing, it's a great reminder of why this style shouldn't only be brewed during warmer seasons! The next brew is Cross Island Common, a "modern take" on the California Common style. The malt bill includes Munich, Vienna, English Cara and Flaked Barley, with Perle hops going in the boil (to the tune of 30 IBUs). Dry-hopped with Eureka, the 5.5% ABV brew is exhibiting "herbaceous, hop-forward aromatics, with a candied orange undertone that leads to a palate of red berry fruits and toffee". Finishing bitter and crisp, it joins the several other beers currently on tap at Shipwright.
And in more Lunenburg brewery news, Saltbox Brewing will be opening a taproom and pilot brewery in the town this summer, under the moniker Lightship Beer and Cider. Located at 93 Tannery Road, the brewery and taproom will have an unobstructed view of Lunenburg Harbour from its place on the point. While the building design is still being finalized, we can tell you that it will feature indoor seating for 50 people, and a large deck with space for four times that number. A 2 BBL (230 litre) pilot brewhouse will be onsite, focusing on traditional German and other European styles, as an ode to the countries of origin of the early settlers in the region. In addition to those, a complement of beer from Saltbox's main brewery in Mahone Bay will also be available on tap. The brewery space will also house some foeders which are perfect for long-term aging of some special brews. While the details of the kitchen and food offerings are still being ironed out, there will certainly be tasty offerings to pair with the beers pouring. We'll keep you up to date on Lightship's progress over the next months, and you can sign up to learn more on their website.
And in "a brewery we haven't spoken about in a little while" news, we have some updates for you thirsty New Brunswickers looking for more beer (and info) regarding Valonray Brewing in the Shediac River area. Just over a year ago, they switched focus from clean European- (mostly Belgian-) inspired beers to those with mixed cultures and taking much longer to produce, and therefore their regular debuts stopped. The first of that line was Rouge Provision, a 5.0% ABV light-coloured beer first fermented with a clean ale yeast strain (familiar friend US-05), but underwent a secondary (and tertiary, etc, etc) ferm with a pitch of both Escarpment Labs' Belgian sour blend, as well as a house culture of other Brett and Lacto strains built up onsite. The beer spent twelve months in a second-use Bourbon American Oak barrel, and then 6 months conditioning in the bottle. Available exclusively at the Picaroons shops in Fredericton and Saint John, we believe there are still a few bottles left on the shelves there. Bottles of their previous releases may still be available at your local ANBL locations. Future releases by Valonray are in the barrel and bottle now, as they continue their exploration of the Flanders Red Ale style.
Don't go waiting until Tuesday to wander over to Good Robot for a taste of their latest Beta Brew, as they'll be closed for a staff day. However, they will be releasing Alternative Roots, their latest BB, on Sunday, January 12th. This one is billed as a Fruit Beer, with beet chiffonade added at the end of the boil, giving the final beer a "wild pink colour and a deep, earthy aroma". Coming in at 5% ABV and 20 IBUs, drop in at the end of the weekend for your taste.
There are some very cool beer-focused events coming up over the next little while that we thought you should know about:
Halifax's Stillwell Beer Bar is hosting an event with Toronto's Burdock Brewery tomorrow, Jan 11th, at their Barrington Street location. Featuring 3 draught offerings, and more than a dozen canned and bottled brews available as well, there will be something to satisfy everyone's palate. And as is routine for Stilly, they will have some special menu items on the go, including Mac & Cheese Arancini. The featured beers are available from opening at noon tomorrow, and around until… well, we're not exactly sure, so your best bet is to visit earlier in the day!
If you instead find yourself 260km Northwest of Halifax tomorrow, may we suggest dropping into Moncton's Tide & Boar Gastropub for their own takeover/feature, where they are showcasing the beers of Alberta. The Alberta Craft Beer Tap Takeover will have beers from more than a half-dozen breweries across the province, including Alley Kat, Banded Peak, Blindman, Brewsters, Grizzly Paw, New Level, and Troubled Monk.
HopYard's original location in Charlottetown, PEI, is hosting a Battle of the PEI Breweries 2020 event over the course of the next couple of months that will see eight breweries compete for Island supremacy, with the champion being crowned at the Finale on Thursday, February 20th. But to get to that point there first needs to be a tournament, and that tournament started last night as recent ACBA Brewery of the Year Bogside Brewing squared off against PEI's OG brewery, PEI Brewing Co, with Bogside pulling out a slim victory by 9 glasses. The next 3 Thursdays will see the remaining battles in the first round, with Moth Lane taking on Copper Bottom on January 16th, Lone Oak battling Evermoore on January 23rd, and Barnone taking on Upstreet on January 30th. The two Thursdays after that (February 6th and 13th) will be the two semi-finals before the final showdown a week later. So whether you're local to Charlottetown or just find yourself on the Island on a Thursday night over the next six weeks, HopYard will be an excellent place for a fun night of drinking beer and voting with your tastebuds.
And speaking of PEI beer and Lone Oak in particular, the brewery and taproom have been open for a little while now, but they haven't had themselves a proper party to make it all official-like. That will change on Saturday, January 25th, starting at 4 PM when they'll be hosting a big Grand Opening celebration. One musical act, Max Koughan and The Poets has been confirmed, with two more surprise musical headliners to be announced the evening of. Cover charge will be $20 per person at the door, and the beer will also be flowing, of course. So make your plans to be in Borden-Carleton in two week's time (but we'll very likely give you a reminder nudge the day before).
And we leave you, as always, with a few brief beery mentions:
Firkenstein Brewing has a new brew joining their regular tap lineup – Chili & SubLime (6%) is "light and refreshing, with a bit of zest, along with just a hint of chili spice".
Flying Boats may still be pouring Black Currant Blonde Ale at their taproom; this latest one-keg-only Brewer's Test Recipe is brewed with local black currants.
Iron Rock Brewing has a pilot batch available exclusively at their taproom – Farmer's Junction Red Saison is their Railbender Red fermented with Old World Saison yeast from Escarpment Labs. Caramel and toffee notes abound, along with spice and herbal character; only two kegs available, so get in, quickly!
Team TataBrew has released Triple Beam Lagerbier, a 6% ABV Lager dry-hopped with Cascade and Aramis. Easy-drinking and crisp, you can find it at homebase in Tatamagouche, and we hear that it's been spotted at the Stillwell Freehouse as well!

Let us take this opportunity to be the last to wish you a Happy New Year 2020! As we kick off a new year, it's a great time to take stock of the state of beer in our region, with the number of breweries having exploded since the Atlantic Canada Beer Blog started on January 1, 2012. As we inevitably hurtle towards 200 breweries and cideries across the region, one of the stories we continue to hear is the markets outside of the big cities being served by small breweries opening there, and serving as a gathering place for locals. We hope that trend continues in 2020, as there are still many places in the region where getting a locally made pint are near-impossible.
Halifax's Propeller Brewing is releasing the latest in their line of "solo hop showcase" beers (think Cascade, Azacca, and Galaxy) with their Sabro Double IPA. At 7.5% ABV and more than 100 (calc) IBU, this is a hazy flavourful ode to this newer experimental hop. A very similar beer, by the same name, saw a one-time release in May 2019, as part of the "Single Hop IPA" competition at the Stillwell Open (brewed with our own acbbchris). This beer has had a few tweaks made to it, but not many! Like last year, the beer features a massive tropical nose and flavour of pineapple, passionfruit, and coconut, with a smooth body and balanced bitterness. No fruit added to this beer, that's all from the Sabro hops! Available on draught for growler fills (both Prop Shops) and pints (at their Gottingen Street taproom, and at licensees across the province), as well as in cans at Prop both locations, plus at many NSLC locations across the province (check store availability here). And fear not fans, unlike last year, this beer will be sticking around for a spell, at least through winter and spring.
And in case you missed it, Propeller released a very different beer last week, a Rauchbier. Focussing on the malt side of things, this features a light smoke character thanks to the beechwood-smoked malt used. Melded with a pleasant toast character from medium-dark malts, the hops are there only for a balancing act. Fermented with lager yeast means this is a clean and crisp beer without anything getting in the way of the light flavour. This is a draught-only release, with growlers and pints of the 5.0% ABV beer available now. And as if you needed another reason to visit, today's Cask at their Gottingen Street taproom is Baltic Porter on Oak aged in rum. That is tapped at 5 PM, and lasts… until it doesn't.
Over in Miramichi, Timber Ship Brewing has released their first new beer in several months, Peabody Porter. This English Porter (usually sweeter than their American counterparts) was brewed with Maris Otter, Brown malt and Chocolate malt in the grist, and hopped with the Fuggle variety to 27 IBUs. Once fermentation was complete (it rings it at 5% ABV), the beer was allowed to condition on vanilla beans for some time, to complement the notes of coffee and dark chocolate in the flavour. Look for it on tap at your favourite Timber Ship accounts.
TrailWay is launching their latest batch of El Generico, their constantly rotating fruited kettle sour. The latest batch – released today – features a large addition of peach puree, as well as a small amount of passion fruit concentrate. Stone fruit is obviously the center of attention here, with "an overall tropical vibe" and moderate acidity. Cans and on tap at the brewery and elsewhere too!
And while on the subject of TrailWay, they still have two new-as-of-last-week hoppy beers available at the brewery (on tap and in cans). South Island (6% ABV) is their newest American IPA, which was single-hopped with the very difficult to source Nelson Sauvin. This New Zealand variety is well-known for the gooseberry character it imparts in beer; South Island also exhibits grape and grapefruit. Next up is Box Theories, an 8% ABV DIPA that focuses on Strata, a fairly new hop variety that gives the beer lots of tropical fruit (especially mango and melon, according to the brewery), as well as citrus and tangerine. The beer was also brewed with small amounts of Munich and Rye malt, and flaked grain, to provide a bit more malt character than is typical for TW's hoppier offerings. Look for this one to pop up at ANBL stores in the not-too-distant future.
Finally in TrailWay news, they rang in the New Year by making full use of their taproom beer engine by "reinventing" their cask program. The plans are to brew a new beer every month, with these beers specifically designed to be served via the beer engine. Their first release was Dry Stout, their 5% ABV take on the style of the same name. Also known as an Irish Stout, the beer is "slightly roasty and coffee-forward, complemented by some chocolate sweetness". No word yet on the next release, but we're all for well-made beers poured via handpump (and cool to see it served in their new 10 oz British-style Nonic glassware).
Edmundston's Petit-Sault so enjoyed the first Brut beer that they brewed (Brighid, a collaboration with Big Tide's Wendy Papadopoulos for International Women's Day), they've gone ahead and created a completely new one. La Pêchée is a Brut IPA hopped with heavy amounts of Mosaic, Galaxy and Amarillo, and features an addition of peach puree. Which the peach definitely comes through in the aroma, this 8.8% ABV beer is definitely not sweet; enzymes were added to help the yeast chew up any remaining sugars, so the beer finishes very dry, with a lingering bitterness. It's only available at the brewery; you can pick it up there in growlers or in bottles.
Back in Nova Scotia, Dartmouth's New Scotland Brewing teamed up with their pals across the bridge at Timber Lounge to release a special collaborative brew. Long-time supporters of local craft beer, the axellent people at Timber Lounge were looking to spruce things up on their taps, and New Scotland bowed their way in to help. OK, enough of my horrible puns. Timbeer is a 6.0% ABV Spruce-infused Ale, but the name alone does not tell the whole story… Using spruce bows and bark hand selected by TL's Darren Hudson (World Champion lumberjack), the New Scotland crew did an overnight infusion of the brewing water with the wood, before sparging traditional European malt, adding Old World hops, and fermenting it with Kveik yeast. Think Norwegian farmhouse ale, but with a Nova Scotian twist. That extra effort is worth it, as the beer is brimming with spruce character on a pale base. This is a Timber Lounge / New Scotland exclusive (and limited) release, so be sure to drop by one, or both, to grab a pint of it before it makes like a tree, and leaves. (sorry, had to do it)
Out of the bustling metropolis of Hanwell, NB, comes a welcome re-release from our friends at Niche Brewing. If you love you some hops but are looking for a bit of a break from the ultra hazy, super juicy, low bitterness, soft mouthfeel NEIPAs that are currently dominating the market and are waxing sentimental for a good old West Coast IPA, then Niche has you covered. First released a few months ago, North Park harkens back to a time when nobody suspected anyone of putting flour in their beer. Piney, fruity, and a bit dank, owing to the use of some classic American hop varietals (Simcoe and Columbus in the kettle, more of the same plus Citra in the dry hop), it weighs in at 6% ABV. Not a candidate for the IBU wars, this one's still plenty bitter at 45 IBU. Look for it at the usual Niche tap accounts as well as the ANBL Moncton North Growler Station (which is also scheduled to have their Day Tripper Belgian Tripel real soon now). And in other Niche release news, this time on the packaged side, version 2 of their barrel-aged saison, Evolution, will be available next week at select ANBL stores. Featuring the house culture that they've been nurturing and using since they opened, it was aged in the same Chardonnay barrel as version 1 and Golden Flair for about 6 months. Super dry, extra bubbly, and slightly tart, it comes in at 6.8% ABV. And stay tuned for more bottled Niche news as they're pledging to package more this year and even if that doesn't work out (bottling sucks, folks), we happen to know that the one they've got coming up next is pretty special.
Sober Island Brewing in Sheet Harbour has officially opened their taproom, and are continuing the celebrations this weekend and next, with the space open Saturday and Sunday afternoon, 2 – 5 PM. They are then switching to full winter hours, which means more access to their taps and crowlers on Thursday and Friday, when they are open 4 – 9 PM both days, and are featuring Trivia each Thursday night beginning at 7 PM. Those hours begin on Thursday the 16th, and will continue until they open up 7 days a week in the summer, after all of their renovations, improvements, and expansions are complete, which includes doubling their taps to eight. Pouring now are their Beth's Black Oyster Stout, Marigold Blonde, and a fresh batch of their IPA. And they'll soon be pouring an Old Ale that we'll fill you in on when we have more information.
Lunenburg's Shipwright Brewing released a pair of new beers over the last two weeks, on decidedly different ends of the spectrum. Due South Pina Colada Milkshake IPA features the addition of raw coconut and fresh pineapple, along with some lactose (milk sugar), complementing the massive hops addition, resulting in a 7.2% ABV, 80 IBU beer. And on the other end, Rum Row is a 9.9% ABV, 40 IBU Imperial Stout, that was aged on cranberries from Terra Beata farm and Ironworks Distillery Bluenose Rum-soaked oak cubes. Rich dark malt, tart cranberry, and dark rum notes blend together in this beer. Both should still be available on tap and in crowlers at the brewery, and also at the Grand Banker.
Montague, PEI's Copper Bottom Brewing released their inaugural brew in their Field Trip series, featuring different fruit featured in kettle sours. The first release is Field Trip: Pomegranate, jam packed with the eponymous fruit, complementing the tart and sessionable underlying beer. This 5.0% ABV beer is still on tap at the brewery and available to go in cans.
Is it already getting to be FCBF 2020 time? Eek! Here's the pertinent info on another related event going on in Freddie that week:
With the Fredericton Craft Beer Festival two months away (still a few tickets left for the Friday night session as well as Saturday afternoon), the other events surrounding the fun weekend are coming into focus. One of which is the Down East Brew Conference, happening on Thursday and Friday, March 5 & 6. Aimed at those in the brewing and distilling industry, or those looking to get into it, there are two full days of talks on all aspects of the craft. From malt and hops history and analysis, how to treat and test your yeast, as well as trademark and tap room operations, attendees will be sure to learn a thing or two. Speakers are coming from across the country, as well as the US, and there will be plenty of time for socializing and networking. The conference will also feature a Tradeshow floor with booths from suppliers and producers. Tickets (and the full agendas) for attendees are available here (don't forget to use code DEBC20 to save $30 off admission if you are a member of any of the provincial brewery/alcohol associations).
And, as usual, here's a couple more quick newsbites before you get on towards your first weekend of 2020!
Big Spruce's Conniption Fit, a 4% ABV Golden Ale, has only been around for a very short time, but cans are already hitting NSLC stores across the province. Crisp and refreshing, it was brewed with the word "sessionable" in mind, and now it's even easier for you to get it into your home (and then your stomachs)!
Flying Boats has a "Brewer's Test Recipe" batch exclusively on tap at their taproom in Dieppe; Mango Wheat Ale (5.3% ABV) was brewed with mango puree to give plenty of tropical flavour.
Our regular schedule of Friday afternoon posting has some downsides and one of them is that sometimes a small batch of special beer is released earlier in the week and we can't tell you in time. Such is the case with CAVOK Brewing's Alpha Canis Majoris, Cuvée 2019, a Sirius (hah!) 4.5% ABV mixed-fermentation beer with Brettanomyces and dark berries (dark cherries, blackberries, blueberries and raspberries) that was aged for some 4 months before packaging. Only 80 bottles were available when it was released on the 31st of December and we're told that there were only a few left as of yesterday morning so we don't suspect there are any remaining at this point, but we thought we'd let you know so you can keep an eye out for more interesting releases from CAVOK in the future (Cuvée 2019 does sort of imply that there might be a Cuvée 2020, now, doesn't it!).

Although November is on the wane, the beer news in Atlantic Canada is showing no signs of slowing down. Last weekend's Atlantic Canadian Brewing Awards Gala celebrated the best beers in the region at HopYard Halifax with all four Provinces represented in the winner's circle and Montague, PEI's Bogside Brewing taking home the title of Brewery of the Year. You can check out the full results in our post here and maybe use it as a guide to trying some beers you've not had before. Meanwhile, in eagerly anticipated news, especially for beer lovers in Halifax, the latest venture from the gang at Stillwell, The Stillwell Freehouse, is now officially open on Agricola Street in the North End. You can read (and see!) more about what is certainly to become a favorite haunt for many in our profile posted this morning. But that is far from all the news you need to know, read on for plenty more about this week's releases, re-releases, and events in our little corner of the continent.
Good news if you're a fan of Port Rexton's ongoing Continuum series (hazy IPAs that tend to focus mainly on one single hop variety), as they've just released their latest entry, Continuum w/ Cashmere. While there's plenty of the Cashmere variety used in the whirlpool, hop back, and dry-hop additions, they threw in some Columbus as well. Lots of pineapple, lemon, and pine in this one, as well as "a light herbal bouquet on the palate". Pretty manageable at 5.6% ABV, it finishes with a smooth bitterness. Look for it right now on tap at the taproom, and it's also available for growler fills at the St. John's retail shop.
Speaking of the wonderful world of hops, Tatamagouche Brewing has their newest hoppy beauty out this week. Lotus DIPA is an 8% Imperial IPA that is loaded with Lotus (breweries take note, "Loaded with Lotus" is a pretty cool-sounding name for a beer), a quite-new American variety that has popped up in a few beers in our region since its launch. The Lotus is accompanied by Citra and Galaxy, resulting in a hazy beer with "sweet aromas and flavours of strawberry Campino candies, tropical pineapple, and citrus with a slight spice". It's available at Tata on tap, with cans hitting the shelves hopefully sometime next week (some of those may make it to some of the private stores in Halifax, too).
New can release from your buds at 2 Crows, and after a super-hoppy and hazy American IPA, they're giving us something to dial it back a bit, a Helles they've named Milosh. They've teamed up with the folks at Shoreline Malting and Darlings Island Farm to design/brew this one, a Lager that features Pilsner malt (from Shoreline) and all NB-grown hops from Darlings Island. Brewed using a low-oxygen, multiple step mash, the wort was hopped with Magnum, Ultra, and Tettnanger is the mash, first wort, and late kettle additions. After fermentation with a traditional German Lager yeast (and krausening with fresh wort and active yeast), the beer was lagered for nine weeks, before packaging. It's tasting "crisp and smooth, with a bready/doughy aroma, a full malty body and a firm, lingering head". Some floral and herbal notes accompany, and it finishes with a firm bitterness. Weighing in at 4.5% ABV and 17 IBUs, look for cans and draught pours of this baby at 2 Crows, starting today at noon (we expect it'll be on tap at several fine establishments across the HRM, as well).
Waaaay up in Twilingate, NL, Split Rock Brewing Co. has their first lager available on the taps, a beer in the California Common style. Amber in color, it's clean and malty as one would expect, with spicy and floral hop character owing to the use of American Cluster hops and a dry, bitter finish. Coming in at 5.0% ABV, you'll find it pouring at their tap room as well as The Guv'nor and Fort Amherst Pub in St. John's. As far as we know they've got no current plans to package it, but never say never, and if it's a hit with the drinking public it's certainly possible that future batches will see release in cans.
Moving Southeast down the shore, Quidi Vidi Brewing Co. has teamed up with Tod Perrin, Steve Lee, and the crew of Mallard Cottage for two new entries in their Bog & Barrens series. If you get up to Mallard you'll be able to get a sneak peak of these new beers with special food pairings before they are packaged in cans and released to the wider public later this month. The beers in question are Parsnip & Golden Beet Kveik and Partridgeberry Stout, both clearly hewing to the ethos of the Bog & Barrens banner to collaborate with local providers and bring to market beers that could only come from Newfoundland. If you're interested in this preview, you'd best get your reservation together for tonight or tomorrow by contacting Mallard Cottage directly.
And continuing with Newfoundland beer news, moving West this time to Cormack, Crooked Feeder Brewing has released a new beer as well, a brown they're calling 12 Mile House Nut Brown Ale. This 5% ABV and 27 IBU beer has a lovely mahogany color and a firm off-white head. It's available at the brewery, of course (open 6 – 10 PM tonight), and the Crooked Feeder Gastro Pub in Corner Brook, as well as being served at the Corner Brook 12 Beers of Xmas event happening tomorrow and, if you're in town, on tap at The Guv'nor in St. John's.
Lastly, before we leave the Rock, we head all the way up to St. Anthony to one of the newest breweries in our region, RagnaRöck Northern Brewing Co. who are celebrating the Norse Goddess of Death with a beer they're calling Hela's Fury IPA. We don't have much in the way of details on this one other than an ABV of 6.9%, but we do remember Atlantic Canada's Hop Overlord Greg Nash posting pictures from a brewery in St. Anthony a few weeks ago, so we think maybe, just maybe, the gang at RagnaRöck got themselves some superstar help with this one. There's only one way to find out for sure: head on up and give it a try! Brewery hours are currently Sunday to Wednesday, 3pm – 11pm, and Thursday to Saturday 3pm – 12am.
Good Robot is taking another swing at the wonderful Schwarzbier style, a dark Lager that is meant to be roasty yet smooth (i.e. not acrid), with a lighter body than other dark beers out there. This beer, which they've named A Cunning Plan, is a 4.6% ABV, 27 IBUs brew that is dark brown, light-bodied, with a bit of bitter chocolate on the palate and an herbal hop aroma. Finishing crisp and roasty, it was originally supposed to be released at the taproom this week; however, you'll have to wait a bit longer for it now… look for it to debut at Good Robot next Thursday.
Down in Lunenburg, Shipwright Brewing has a new beer to put the wind in your sails (see what I did there? It's because they're a brewery named after ships and such). Hull N' Boats is an "Irish Extra Stout" that has aromatics of "dark roast coffee, anise, and roasted barley". There's a bit of cacao bean on the palate as well with this one, and with the beer being brewed with a healthy addition of oats in the grist, a smooth, silky mouthfeel. It's 5.5% ABV and 30 IBUs, and available now at the brewery, along with three other beers of theirs (apparently a first for Shipwright, having four different beers available all at once… that's a good sign for them!).
Dartmouth's Brightwood Brewery has a new beer on the go for the holiday season: Christmas on Portland Street is a version of their Portland Street Porter, a porter with plenty of chocolate malt for a dark chocolate-y bitter character, that was aged on raspberries. The result is something they're describing as raspberry chocolate cake in a can. Coming in at 5.5% ABV, we're told that it's one of the beers in the Maritime Craft Beer Countdown box now available at certain private stores in Halifax. But if you're eager to give it a try, a limited amount is available on tap and to go at the brewery as well!
Moncton's Pump House Brewery has released a new beer this week, the latest in their limited edition Backdraught series. Now out is KAZAK Russian Imperial Stout. Inspired by co-owner Lilia Fraser's Russian and Kazakhstani heritage, this 8.7% ABV beer is the perfect accompaniment to the cold days, and colder nights, we are experiencing. Featuring a variety of dark and black malts, the beer is punctuated with bitterness and light citrus notes from Magnum and Celeia hops. Available on draught at the Brewpub and Fill Station, tall cans are also available to go in their retail spot, and rolling out to select ANBL locations.
New bottle release at Tidehouse this weekend, and it's got the three most profitable words in the beer industry: DDH (yes, we're counting that as one word, because seriously, those three letters are $$ when used in that order), Milkshake, and IPA. Yep, Milk Trip is an 8.5% ABV DDH Milkshake IPA brewed with lactose, orange zest, and vanilla bean, and heavily-hopped with Citra and Mosaic. Hazy, with a full mouthfeel, and helluva lotta citrus throughout, it's available today at 2 pm in 650 mL bottles (maximum 2/person). They won't last long, as it's a smaller bottling run than usual for TH, so drop by soonish or they may be all gone!
Your pals and ours, the 902 BrewCast triumvirate of Tony "Important" Wight, Phil "KelticDevil" Church, and Kyle "I don't need no stinking nickname" Andrus, have somehow managed to survive three years of visiting breweries, drinking beer and talking (at length) about it all for your (presumed) education and entertainment! Head on over to their podcast homepage or check them out on your favorite podcasting app for their most recent episode, which dropped today, their Third Anniversary tasting episode where they reminisce about the antics of the last few years and no doubt toast to more in the next one, we also expect they busted out some bangers from their cellars in celebration. Congrats to the guys on managing to get this far and we look forward to hearing more from them in the future!
If you're the type to keep abreast of trends in the beverage alcohol industry, especially the US markets, you might know that Hard Seltzers are currently hotter than a Times Square Rolex. Although they're generally coming out of beer breweries, these very accessible products, low in carbs and calories, generally don't feature much, if any, beer flavor at all, but boast bubbly effervescence, fruity flavors, moderate alcohol levels, and catchy slogans like, "Ain't no laws when you're drinking Claws." As is very often the case, trends tend to push north across the border and this one is no exception, as we've now got a brewery in our region with a release that's ticking a lot of the same boxes (hopefully not the slogan part though, mmkay?). Fredericton's Trailway Brewing is releasing Raspberry Bubbly today at the brewery, which they're calling a "seltzer-style ale" no doubt owing to the portion of malt included in the recipe. "Super zippy, clean and ultra dry" you can expect this 4% ABV beer-adjacent beverage to be a low carb option for those looking to imbibe without paying a penalty in the waistline department and/or a more fruit-forward option for those who aren't into hoppy or beer-flavored beer. If you're curious, you can grab cans, pints, or fills starting today at the brewery. And stay tuned, Tw social media posts about this one certainly seem to imply that raspberry won't be the limit of their explorations of the style, so it's very possible that in coming months you'll be able to taste the rainbow.
So, what's on the go around the region this weekend?
Starting right …. about …. an hour ago (sorry!), Stillwell HQ on Barrington kicked off their tap takeover by St. John's newest brewery, Bannerman Brewing. This is the first time these new favourites have been available outside of Newfoundland (maybe even outside of St John's?), and we can't think of a better place to hold it. Phil Maloney and Dave Bridger (Co-owner and Brewer, respectively) will be in the bar chatting with folks. Six Bannerman beers will be pouring this afternoon, including their All Hands Helles, Thirst Trap APA, Island Time DIPA, as well as brand newbies Nervous State Milk Stout (collab with Hogie from Upstreet), Medium Cool IPA, and Scenic Route Sour with blueberry and mint. We've heard you may also be able to pick up some merch when you drop by, so best visit early!
Don't forget that Cask in the Sticks is being held at Lunn's Mill in Lawrencetown, Nova Scotia, this Saturday. This roving beer festival is moving cask beer into the country, with 8 breweries (and one homebrew collective) sharing some old standards and new to the format. Your $30 ticket ($25 if you buy one at one of the participating breweries ahead of time) gets you your own take-home glass, and fills all afternoon long. Dress up in your favourite onesie to take part in the competition, and build your own S'mores too. Breweries in attendance are: Lunn's Mill Beer Co., Sober Island Brewing Company, Big Spruce Brewing, Boxing Rock Brewing Company, Meander River Farm, Tatamagouche Brewing Co., Roof Hound Brewing Co., and Annapolis Brewing Company.
Just a couple more things to woo you with before we send you on your way:
Halifax's Bishop's Cellar is having a large weekend, with plenty of new beers available on their shelves. Available from noon today, is SpontanBasil, a totally unique unique collaboration between Lindemans and Mikkeller. Their take on a gueuze, with one- and two-year old lambic blended and added with fresh basil at bottling. After conditioning and a final fermentation, the beer is now available for sale at their shop, as well as online. And dropping tomorrow morning are three releases from Toronto's Bellwoods Brewing, Fruit Jelly King PTG, Saison Pizazz, and Yeehaw Y'All. Available from 8 AM in store and online, we suspect these won't last long, so set your alarms now! Probably a good excuse to get out to peep their newly expanded location in Bishop's Landing, eh?
Propeller Brewing has brought back a seasonal favourite, their Coffee Porter. Using Fog City coffee from Java Blend Coffee Roasters, this 5.9% ABV beer is full of chocolate, coffee, and light toffee notes as well. This year's batch is a bottle exclusive, and only available at the NSLC, so pop by your local to grab some!
Have you found yourself with an orange hop bomb-sized hole in your beer drinking life lately? Well we've got good news from Unfiltered about getting you what you're missing. DOA (Double Orange Apocalypse) is back at the brewery in all formats (fills, pints, and cans) starting from noon today. As always, 7.5% ABV, hoppy as hell, and leaving you happily belching an orange grove.
North Brewing, formerly of Halifax, now firmly ensconced in Dartmouth, has two returning beers to mention this week. First up is a brand new version of their Sunshine Shandy, this time made with Meyer lemons and local honey, a tart and lemony brew with a teensy bit of residual sweetness from the honey. And also returning is the OG tiramisu version of their Twinkle Pony Pastry Stout, which features lady fingers and chocolate malt on the grist side, lactose and vanilla for some sweetness, and cold brew coffee for an espresso kick. Both are available at the brewery and the Twinkle Pony can be had on nitro pours at Battery Park on Ochterloney.
And in late-late-late breaking news, Rough Waters Brewing is opening their retail space in Deer Lake this Sunday. Located at 83 Wight's Road, the space will be open 1 – 6 PM Sunday, and will have four beers available: their Selkie Wheat, Scallywag IPA, Sou'wester Sour, and Singaler Porter. You can also get a sneak peek of their beer at this weekend's Newfoundland Craft Beer Festival in Corner Brook. We'll have lots more details on Rough Waters very soon! Congratulations!

If you go back to my earliest entries in this series, you're going to see a lot of handwringing. A lot of me apologizing for a series that is, to put it as charitably as possible, is trying to find its voice. Whenever I recommend the show to people, I always tell them to skip vast swaths of the first season and significant chunks of the second in order to get to the good stuff. After all, as I say many times, it takes a lot of time for DS9 to become the show that it is remembered as being: dark, serialized, and driven by the kind of action that until that time had been confined to the movies. Well, with this episode, the sixth season opener, "A Time to Stand," DS9 is finally that show.
Takes a while, doesn't it? There was no roadmap for what DS9 became in its final two seasons. Even up until these episodes were written, they weren't certain what it would be. The sixth season opens with what amounts to a 6-parter, something that had never happened in the thirty-year (at that time) history of the franchise. The original intent was that the entire Dominion War would be resolved over the course of that 6-episode arc, but somewhere along the way, the writers came to their senses. The Dominion War would be the engine that drives the rest of the series, and the show itself will close with what amounts to a 10-parter.
Intense serialization like this was not part of the television landscape at the time. Even shows with strong mythology arcs like X-Files (and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, debuting the same year this episode aired) were not as serialized. Those hewed closer to a path DS9 helped blaze in its earlier seasons, with myth arc episodes punctuating a monster-of-the-week. The overarching plot of the show often unfolded in the margins, until larger, event-driven hours would address or resolve something left long-simmering in the background. I have nothing against this mode of television. It's enormously satisfying when done right, and one of the only ways to balance a large season order with the kind of serialization demanded in the DVR and streaming era. DS9 was trying something new, and it would pay dividends. After all, the only people still watching were diehard Niners. Might as well reward them.
DS9, though, has always loved to show us both sides. So, for as bad as the war is for the Federation, it's cream cheese for the Dominion and their Cardassian subjects. Dukat (although he's never addressed by rank, so who knows if he's still calling himself a Gul) is running Terok Nor like old times. There's some friction, though, and not just because the mine field is still up and giving the Dominion fits. While Kira would like the Bajoran security force reinstated, and Weyoun sees no problem with this, Dukat (and his faithful aide-de-camp Damar) refuse to even discuss it. All Dukat wants to discuss, really, is how precisely he'll sleaze all over Kira. This is when I admire Kira's iron-willed self-control, because at no point does she gut Dukat like a fish.
While Kira and Odo discuss what to do, Quark remarks that as Occupations go, this one isn't bad. When Kira snaps at him, Quark lays out the differences: no ghetto fences, no slave laborers, no starving children. He misses the Federation, but this is a damn sight better than life under the Cardassians when they didn't have the Vorta looking over their shoulders. Eventually, they hit on a plan brilliant in its simplicity. Odo simply goes to Weyoun and demands that his deputies be reinstated. Weyoun (as one does when a god makes a request), instantly capitulates, but shows his deviousness when he uses this to leverage Odo onto the ruling council of the station. Kira worries that this gives Dominion rule legitimacy, but Odo feels he will be able to do more good from such a power position, and he's used to walking this particular line.
Before leaving, Sisko finally gets around to telling his father, Joseph, back on Earth, that Jake is technically a guest of the Dominion. Joseph is less than pleased and demands Sisko go get his grandson back. It's a nice, little scene (along with an earlier moment when Worf and Dax dicker over wedding plans) that reminds the audience that these are people, with humanoid concerns. It's not all awesome space battles.
Jake, for his part, is learning that the Dominion doesn't have freedom of the press. Yeah, he's still a naïve kid, used to living in utopia. Weyoun hasn't been transmitting his reports, and won't, until Jake takes a more "balanced approach." Jake insists that he won't write propaganda, and, of course, Weyoun brushes that off. Say what you will about the Dominion, they don't have the casual brutality of the Cardassians, or else Odo is correct, and they want to show the Alpha Quadrant how well they honor treaties. Jake is the son of the Emissary, and harming him would anger the Bajorans. Whether or not Jake understands this is an open question.
While the crew settles into the Jem'Hadar ship, they're all griping about the various amenities it doesn't have. No infirmary, replicators, viewscreen, or even chairs. Another way to hammer home just how alien the Dominion really is. Even long-time Federation enemies like the Cardassians or Romulans would have a more recognizable ship than this one. The viewscreen, remember, is part of an apparatus the command staff wears, projecting the screen into the mind of the officer. The enlisted people don't need to see out, so they don't. Along the way, Sisko discovers that it also gives humans a splitting headache, but Cardassians can wear them without ill effect. Good thing they brought Garak along.
Of course they brought Garak along. He's now part of the crew, more or less, making himself useful where he can. If you were heading into Cardassian space, wouldn't you want a former superspy with you? It's also fun seeing him with a Federation comm badge on his hideous (Sorry, Garak.) Cardassian clothes.
The plan is to simply beam over a bomb amongst a payload of empty white containers and leave. It doesn't go quite as planned. The facility gets blown up, but the heroes' ship gets caught in the blastwave. The ship is crippled, without warp drive, and it will take seventeen years to get home.
They're going to be a little late for their next assignment.
Next up: Trying to get home.


On Sunday, our guest pastor Reverend Koerth spoke about Wish sandwiches. He said a wish sandwich is when you have two pieces of bread and wish you had something to put between them. He talked about having spiritual wish sandwiches as well.
In the ministry of Sarah's Butterflies, we minister to people who might be all too familiar with all types of wish sandwiches. Wish for food, peace or deliverance. I have my own wish sandwiches.
Six and a half years ago, Sarah Elisabeth passed away leaving me with a wish sandwich...wishing I had a daughter to hold, wishing I could quit hurting so badly. Sarah's Butterflies is an answer to a wish sandwich of mine...wish I could give meaning to my grief.
If your wish sandwich is that you wish you could do something to spread hope or use your talents for God, contact me. Go to the More tab and find the contact form. Please write to me and I will email you.

See Nirvana Members Play "Lithium," "In Bloom," More With St. Vincent, Beck, Dave Grohl's Daughter
Reunion set also included "Heart-Shaped Box," "Been a Son," "The Man Who Sold the World"
Video of Nirvana Reunion @ Hollywood Palladium 1.4.2020
text Kelsey Chapstick
On Saturday, January 4th, the surviving members of Nirvana — Dave Grohl, Pat Smear and Krist Novoselic — reunited in Los Angeles at The Palladium, joined by St. Vincent, Beck, and Grohl's 13-year-old daughter Violet to rip through five of the grunge giants' classic cuts in front of a star-studded crowd. All were gathered for the 2020 Art of Elysium Gala, a yearly event to raise funds for the organization, which pairs artists with individuals facing "difficult emotional life challenges." The three guest musicians took turns fronting the band in place of late singer Kurt Cobain.
Kicking off the set was the St. Vincent–fronted version of the group, repeating their 2014 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction performance of 1991 hit "Lithium." Beck then took over for "In Bloom" before tossing mic duties to Violet Grohl for "Heart-Shaped Box." Between songs, Beck relayed story of seeing the most insane mosh pit of his life in that very room, describing the blood on his hands as he left and recalling that the band he was seeing was Nirvana.
Two more songs filled out the set as Beck and St. Vincent took position as backing musicians for "Been a Son" and Nirvana's iconic cover of David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World." Catch the full performance above, and see some variant angles captured by fans below.

Lack of jobs and widespread agrarian distress are also the main campaign issues for Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi. He's looking to unseat Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his disastrous currency ban and a botched goods and services tax – moves that have hurt small firms and their workers disproportionately.
For both countries, the biggest "known unknown" of 2019 is the U.S. Federal Reserve's policy. If the Fed takes a pause only after three interest-rate increases in 2019, the Indian rupee and the Indonesian rupiah, Asia's two worst-performing currencies this year, could remain under pressure. In Indonesia, the risk is from the current account deficit, which at about 3.4 percent of GDP is already large. With prices of palm oil and natural rubber slumping, exports may be slow to revive. In India, an abrupt change of guard at the central bank could lead to more relaxed financial conditions – perhaps even interest-rate cuts – to stoke credit-fueled growth ahead of the elections.

While it's an exciting time for fans, the football World Cup tournament can seem like a long month for employers who may experience difficulties on a number of fronts.
One such challenge can be in relation to time off. Employers may have multiple conflicting requests for annual leave, as employees wish to fly off to Russia to support their team. In that event, the employer may have to deal with requests on a 'first come' basis, but that in itself can lead to discord between employees.
Sickness absence can also be prevalent, and many employers see a sharp increase in short-term absence during major sporting events.
While it's best not to assume that every instance of absence is suspicious, employers are within their rights to investigate absences to determine whether they are genuine, which may include a review of employees' social media.
The World Cup inevitably creates rivalries between supporters. However, while friendly rivalry is generally acceptable, employers should be vigilant against behaviour that is inappropriate. Comments and 'banter' can too easily be linked to nationality where countries compete, which in turn presents a risk of issues being harassing or discriminatory.
Other conduct during working hours may have to be monitored. For example, employees may try to sneakily keep an eye on matches while working, which could affect productivity or lead to non-fans becoming disgruntled.
Others may like to find the nearest big screen while on a break, which will often be at the nearest pub, so observation of employees after lunch may be helpful if you suspect that they might be raising a glass to their team on their break.
To help manage all of the above, preparation is key. It will generally be useful to issue a communication to employees at the start of the tournament to outline the expected behaviours and remind them of the potential consequences if they don't play ball. Employers should also take a consistent approach to any issues that do arise.


NEW DELHI: Advertising sector watchdog ASCI upheld in January complaints against 51 misleading advertisements, including those of Airtel, Patanjali, Amazon, Facebook, Vodafone, Shoppers Stop, Coca-Cola, Emami and Dabur.
The Customer Complaints Council (CCC) of Advertising Standard Council of India (ASCI) received 102 complaints for the month. It upheld 14 complaints of misleading ads from education category, 12 from food & beverages, 11 from healthcare and 6 from e-commerce segment.
The CCC found Patanjali's atta noodles advertisement 'misleading' as it failed to substantiate its claim to be oil-free.
"The claim in the ad 'oil free' was not substantiated and is misleading by implication," it said.
The Yoga Guru Ramdev-led firm was also pulled up for its Patanjali Pure Cow's Ghee for wrongly mentioning "Keratin" content in cow's milk.
"The word Keratin was used instead of 'Carotene' and the claim 'Scientific fact: Cow's milk contains Keratin' was incorrect," the regulator said.
Similarly, Bharti Airtel's ad for its Airtel Broadband was also found misleading as its website referred broadband plan of Rs 615 "per billing cycle", but the billing plan was only available under a six months advance rental scheme.
Coca-Cola India was also found violating the code for its Coca-Cola Zero by not putting disclaimer as per the size stipulated in the ASCI guidelines.
"It was concluded that disclaimer in the advertisement is not clearly legible. The advertisement contravened the ASCI Guidelines on Supers," it said.
Social media platform Facebook was found on the wrong side as its ad on 'benefits of Free Internet' for Facebook Free Basics was found misleading.
"The claim in the advertisement 'Free Basics' is at risk of being banned' was considered to be misleading by exaggeration" the watchdog added.
E-retailing firm Amazon was also pulled up for discrepancy between specification declared on its portal and as mentioned on the product visual for AdraxxCrosman Roof Prism Binoculars.
ASCI also found claims by Shoppers Stop of being ranked as "25th in The Great Places To Work study 2015" misleading.
The CCC also termed the ad from Vodafone India for its Superfast Vodafone Network as 'misleading in the absence of appropriate disclaimers'.
"The claim in the advertisement, 'superfast Vodafone network' is a superlative claim that was not substantiated with any technical rationale or comparative data," ASCI said.

Three elderly neighbors found murdered in homes
By Garrin Marchetti | Community News Content
NORTH ANDOVER, Mass. — The bodies of three men were found Tuesday morning in their separate apartments at a public housing complex for the elderly and disabled about 30 miles north of Boston.
Essex County, Massachusetts District Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said all the victims appeared to have suffered blunt force trauma to the face.
A 57-year-old resident of the complex has been charged with the murders. Blodgett identified the suspect as Salvatore Guglielmino.
During an afternoon news conference, Blodgett identified the victims as George Kettinger, 79, Walter Hamilton, 78, and a 68-year-old man whom he declined to identify. All were residents at 10 Fouls Terrace.
Blodgett said police received a 911 call at 9:07 a.m. The three victims were found in their separate apartments in the 4-unit building, Blodgett said. He did not speculate about the motive.
The medical examiner will do autopsies.
Guglielmino was to be arraigned Wednesday.
"I want to assure the public, they are safe. The person we believe committed this is under arrest," North Andover Police Chief Paul Gallagher said.
Blodgett said the suspect did not have any recent history with the police.
While Blodgett said the crimes were "certainly horrific," he did not feel the public was in danger.
Paula Crudale, administrative secretary of the North Andover Council on Aging, said she heard about the tragedy because she has friends who listen to the police scanners.
"You hear about something happening. It's just awful. You never think it's going to be something like that, " Crudale said.
North Andover Housing Authority executive director Joanne Comerford said the complex at 10 Foulds Terrace contains 52 units of housing for the elderly and disabled. She was not able to provide any further information this morning.
Details for this story were provided by the Eagle-Tribune.

proposal at the CBJ game
Beth Frederick was the fortunate winner of 2 awesome Columbus Blue Jackets tickets for the December 16 Winnipeg Jets game. She was a winner of the First CBJ Experience story contest. It turns out she won more than just the tickets!
"My boyfriend of 5-years proposed marriage to me right before the puck drop! It was a total surprise – I don't even remember any of the first period of the game!
We'd only been talking very hypothetically about engagement for the past 6-months. My now fiancé Chris Powell was a ball of nerves. He decided last minute that this game would be where and when he would ask the big question, after he learned I'd won the tickets. We are huge Jackets fans and get to a number of games each season and now these games will have even more meaning to us. We cannot thank you enough for the awesome tickets and a memory we will have forever!"
Let's wish the happy couple a life full of happiness! Congratulations!

Natalie Jenkins: Police search lake for sex worker who has been missing since December
Three people have been arrested and bailed in connection to the sex worker's suspected murder in December.
Friday 1 May 2020 10:12, UK
Image: Natalie Jenkins hasn't been heard from since December 10
Police investigating the disappearance of Natalie Jenkins have begun searching a park and lake in Middlesbrough.
Detectives involved in the investigation suspect Ms Jenkins has been murdered, but her body has not been found.
The 32-year-old is thought to have been particularly vulnerable because she was a drug user and sex worker.
CCTV of missing Natalie Jenkins
Ms Jenkins was last seen on 10 December, when CCTV footage showed her walking towards Albert Park at 11.38pm.
Specialist officers, including an underwater team, are now searching the 30-hectare park for any sign of her.
Detective Chief Inspector Mark Dimelow said: "Our searches in Albert Park will take several days and will involve teams of officers led by trained search advisers.
"The area around the park has always been a significant location to our investigation and information has led us to focus on the inside of the park.

"I can't divulge what this information is for operational reasons but we are still appealing for people to come forward to tell us what they know.
"We're providing support to Natalie's family and are keeping them updated with what is happening with the investigation."
Earlier this week Cleveland Police said two men, aged 40 and 66, had been arrested on suspicion of murder.
A 65-year-old woman has also been held on suspicion of perverting the course of justice.
All three people have now been bailed.

A £10,000 reward has been offered for information that leads to a conviction of the person or persons responsible for Ms Jenkins murder.
In January her mother begged anyone with information to come forward and help the investigation.
"We will never stop looking for Natalie and this is never going to go away," she said.
"I am asking for people to contact police if they have seen or heard anything that will bring my beautiful daughter home to me."
Ms Jenkins is described as being white, 5ft 5in tall and slim with fair skin, hazel eyes and straight brown hair.
She is particularly recognisable because she has a missing front tooth, along with a tattoo saying "Swanny" on her neck and another saying "Swann" on her wrist.


When it comes to playing tennis effectively, it is important to master a number of basic techniques which are vital to crafting a winning game. Besides the forehand and backhand groundstroke which I dedicated two navigation buttons for them, let me briefing explain the other core techniques that you should learn. Like various colors at an artist's disposal, the more techniques you have under your belt, the more tools you have available to turn every point into a winning one.
The serve – The serve is one of the fundamental strokes in the game of tennis. In my opinion, it is also one of the hardest skills to master. The serve is the shot that starts off each point in the game, and it involves the serving player hitting the ball diagonally across the court so that it lands in the service box close to the net, on the opposite side of the court.
The volley – In the volley, the player hits the ball before it bounces. You will usually do that you are positioned between the net and mid court.
The Lob – The lob, often played with a measure of topspin, may not be played very often, but it can be a very effective point-winner. The lob involves hitting the ball high into the air, over your opponent's head, when he or she is close to or moving close to the net. When timed and executed well, the lob can be an incredibly difficult shot to return.
The smash – This is a very exciting technique because if you do it well, the chance of winning the point is very high. You use the overhead smash to counter a lob, either before or after it bounces. The motion for the overhead smash is similar to that for the serve. However, the ball is hit with an abbreviated backswing.
Approach shot – This shot is utilized when playing tennis when the intention is to approach the net immediately after making the shot. It is designed to force one's opponent into a vulnerable position that makes them return the ball with either more elevation than usual, or less pace, thereby making it easier for you to play a winning shot from a position close to the net.
Passing shot – This is the answer to a player approaching the net. You either hit a lob or a passing shot. In order to execute this shot well, your control of direction must be good.
Drop shot – You often see it in clay court matches. It is a shot which is intentionally hit very short in the opponent's court. An important element of the successful use of the drop shot is surprise and disguise.
Half volley – This shot is played when the ball is being hit to you at your feet as you approach the net. The half volley occurs when you contact the ball immediately after the bounce.
The techniques covered here are just a sample of those that are used in the game of tennis. Trust me, as an increasing amount of these techniques are learned and mastered, playing tennis will be a joy and I am sure you will look forward to hit the courts every time.

Hair grows at the average speed of 1.25 centimeters or 0.5 inches per month. It does so in three phases: growing phase in which hair actively grows for 2 to 6 years, then there is a phase of transition until it finally enters resting phase, where the hair follicles are inactive, and it lasts about three months. This doesn't mean that every six years your child's hair will completely stop growing, actually 85% of all hair are growing at any given time, while some 10% to 15% have stopped. After the rest phase, that 10% to 15% of hair will start falling out, so losing 50 to a 100 strands of hair daily is quite normal.
A number of different factors affect how hair grows, such as heredity, hormonal balance, underlying health conditions, stress and even lack of specific vitamins and minerals. And the thickness of the hair depends on the size of the hair follicle. Besides genetics and certain conditions, most of these factors can be avoided and your child can have strong, healthy hair, that is by making sure it has a balanced everyday diet, reducing stressful situations and having regular checkups with the doctor.
A study has shown a correlation between deficiency in iron and hair loss, so make sure your child taking at least the minimum recommended dose or if. Foods rich in iron include lean red meat, which also contains high levels of protein and proteins are essential for hair growth. But red meats are also high in saturated fats, so limit the meat consumption to once a week.
Salmon is great for hair growth as it moisturizes the skin and is not only rich with protein, but also vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids which are known to reduce inflammation. Inflamed and irritated scalp may lead to an onset of dandruff and oily hair, so try to incorporate more salmon is your child's eating regimen.
Zinc is required for metabolic processes such as the making the proteins in your child's nails and hair, so lack of it can lead to poor scalp condition and even hair loss.
Oyster have the highest levels of zinc, but hardly any child is going to eat them. Other foods containing zinc are beef, poultry, chick peas, and nuts such as almonds and cashews.
Avoid giving your child fast foods, processed foods and carbonated drinks, as they are packed full with sugar. Good hydration is important, as lack of water in the body may cause the child's hair to become brittle and dry. Also avoid using strong shampoos, they contain synthetic detergents and artificial foaming agents. Opt out for a natural or homemade shampoo instead. Brushing is very helpful, as it stimulates the blood flow in the scalp, but hard bristled brushes may have quite the opposite effect, so try to get soft bristled brushes, or the ones made from natural fibers.
Pay attention for any irritations on the scalp or patches of missing hair, schedule an appointment with the doctor so he may decide on the best treatment for your child.

Acupuncture, Getting Started·
One of the most consistent questions that I get asked is "How does acupuncture work?" So many women come to acupuncture to resolve a specific ailment, but the details about how acupuncture actually works often remains a bit of a mystery. I decided to write this post to help answer the questions women have when they arrive in my office and take some of the mystery out of what I do to help women improve their wellbeing, reduce stress and achieve greater vitality.
How Does Acupuncture Work To Heal?
The questions are fairly straightforward:
Is There Acupuncture Science To Back Up Claims?
What Do Acupuncture Needles Do?
Why Does Acupuncture Work?
First, let's take a look at what acupuncture is and the science behind it. Keep in mind, while I've tried to keep the descriptions concise and not overly complicate things, I've linked all the sources so you can dive deeper into the research whenever you like.
To understand how acupuncture works, let's first explain the word. The root word, "Acu", is a Latin word that means, "sharpen". Puncture, of course, means to penetrate the surface. Put the two together, and you get the word, "Acupuncture".
Acupuncture is a form of Chinese Medicine that dates back more than 5,000 years ago, with the earliest written record of acupuncture dating back to approximately 200 BC.
Acupuncture is a collection of procedures that uses needling in order to stimulate certain points on the body. Acupuncture treats patterns in the body as a whole, to bring wellness and to restore the patient's entire system. Acupuncture operates on the premise that all discomforts and illnesses in the human body result from imbalances in the body's energy. These imbalances can be either from blockages in energy or from a lack of energy, or as it is often referred to as, stagnation or deficiency.
An acupuncturist will insert sterile, hair thin needles into approximately ten to fifteen acupoints per session. These points are like subway stops along a long and complicated subway system. Each location has a special and circumscribed function and also work synergistically with the other points.
Most patients find an acupuncture session to be relaxing and many people actually fall asleep. If you want to know what to expect during a typical session, read this article: What to Expect During Your First Acupuncture Visit.
Acupuncture Science
While acupuncture is sometimes thought to be more of a philosophical approach, there is plenty of science to back up the method. In scientific terms, the meridian points used in the practice of acupuncture are places where connective tissue, nerve and muscles are accessible for stimulation through the use of acupuncture needles.
Scientists and doctors use a term commonly known as neuroplasticity, which is the notion that over time neurological activity can be redirected, relearned, or re-programmed to promote healing. Another aspect of acupuncture science is neuropsychoimmunology, which is something acupuncturists have understood for years but scientists are recently uncovering. Awareness that the brain and nervous system play a larger role than they thought in protecting a person from disease, even cancers.
With these scientific ideas in place, acupuncture prompts re-learning responses within the body that ultimately result in healing.
Clinical studies, using fMRI as visual proof, have discovered that there is a calming effect of the amygdala, which is our brain's seat of anxiety and stress. Well-respected traditional medical facilities, such as the Mayo Clinic, the Cochrane Review, and the Center for Integrative Medicine of University of California at Irvine, have conducted clinical trials and come to the conclusions that acupuncture is successful when used in correlation with western medicine. Even the United States Military accepts acupuncture as a form of alternative care.
The use of acupuncture has been an effective battlefield treatment for the U.S. military is well documented. For years, The United States Air Force has been teaching what is referred to as "Battlefield Acupuncture" which is used to treat sick and wounded servicemen and women. The result has not only been physically effective but also cost effective, because it has produced a reduction in the amount of painkillers needed to be dispensed after surgical procedures.
There are several major medical studies that support using Acupuncture for specific ailments and for relieving pain. Clinical trials have proven acupuncture to be helpful in:
Fertility and Pregnancy Issues, including morning sickness
Post-surgery discomfort
Fibromyalgia pain
There are ongoing clinical tests with hope for fighting cancer, and currently acupuncture is offered in some prominent hospitals to be used alongside patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Studies conducted from England, Wales, and Denmark showed a drop in dementia rates when using acupuncture. Other scientific, clinical studies have shown a marked difference in the level of pain relief with acupuncture, especially on back, neck, chronic headache, shoulder, and osteoarthritis pain. The patients had less pain, with scores on a generally used scale of 0.42 to 0.55 standard deviations from no acupuncture.
The findings in a report printed in the Wall Street Journal provide strong scientific support for an age-old therapy used by an estimated three million Americans each year. Financed by the National Institutes of Health and carried out over about half a decade, the new research was a detailed analysis of earlier research that involved data on nearly 18,000 patients.
Other studies have concluded that people with depression may benefit as much from acupuncture as they do from counseling. A Reuters article, backed up with one that appeared in The Huffington Post, reported that a scientific study found that "one in three patients were no longer depressed after three months of acupuncture or counseling, compared to one in five who received neither treatment".
The most common form of acupuncture uses a technique of penetrating the skin with thin, solid, metallic needles. The needles are then manipulated by the trained acupuncturist or by the use of electrical stimulation. By using the needles for stimulation, it increases blood flow while simultaneously triggering the release of endorphins which are the human body's natural painkillers.
While some fear hypodermic needles which are used to draw blood or inject substances, the needles used in acupuncture are very different. Instead, these sterile, hair-thin needles are used to trigger, or stimulate, pressure points, sometimes called acu-points, throughout the body.
Why does acupuncture work, and what happens during the first visit to a trained and licensed acupuncturist?
Instead of treating only the symptoms, acupuncture gets to the root of the problem by opening up pathways within the body to allow healing to take place. Acupuncture is successful because it works with the body to provide an environment for the human system to work as it was designed to work and to promote well-being and health to the entire body as a whole.
Many patients request that acupuncture be used in combination with traditional treatments to ease discomfort, pain and nausea, and to increase healing time during other traditional treatments, such as chemotherapy. More and more hospitals have acupuncture and alternative therapy departments designed to work alongside hospital staff to provide a more holistic approach.
The first session is similar to what you may experience the first time you see a primary care physician. There is a basic question and answer intake where the acupuncturist begins to gather the information needed to better understand your symptoms and current state of well-being.
Now that you know the acupuncture science, and understand the answers to the questions of How does acupuncture work?" "Why does acupuncture work?" and "What do acupuncture needles do?" it's time to discover how acupuncture will benefit you.
