Riding the Wave; Coping with the Cold

Filed under: beer, downtown wpg, winnipeg — Tags: , — KingORock @ 8:20 pm January 19, 2011

Everyone knows that it gets really f*ckin’ cold in Winnipeg.

But how do we deal with the subzero temperatures?

Quaint recommendations like ‘hot cocoa & a warm blanket’ are a nice thought; but seldom have the nitro required to push us through those bitter January Monday’s.

Nope.
.
Booze is how we do.

Riding the bus & that sweet molson dry wave all the way into lunch.

I’m feeling warmer already.

St James Destination: Airport Motor Hotel

Filed under: St James, beer, winnipeg — Tags: , , — KingORock @ 3:44 pm January 26, 2010

Well, we’ve made the mistake; acknowledged St. James as a part of the Winnipeg map.

We may as well cover more than Salisbury House.

Here it is: The Airport Motor Hotel.

Since a Trip Advisor reviewer called it the worst hotel ever; I figure I may as well just skip ’round back to the lounge.

"Ever wanted to be known as the widow maker?"

CON: They Close at 6 on Sunday’s. If you’re their to watch football, you’re outta luck.

So overall you’re looking at a 4 to 1 PRO movement. From what my memory can conjure; beer was moderately priced and they’ve got a great customer service plan in place.

Simply push the button on the right and wait...

Culture & Cuisine: Minhaus Lime

Filed under: Review, Survival, beer — Tags: , , — KingORock @ 1:49 am December 18, 2009

If you’ve been with us for a while now; we’ve covered celebrities, Google streetview in Winnipeg and lunch downtown.

But where’s the drinks?

Ladies and gentleman; I bring you: Minhaus Lime

Discount Manitoba beer with a distinctly watered down finish

Minhaus was a late entry into this summers’ ‘lime in beer’ craze. At a hard hitting retail price of under $8/6 pack -> how could you go wrong?

  • Good ask.

You can’t. You want to drink. This will get you drunk.

Upside: It kinda tastes like they fermented sprite into drunkeness. Sooo at least it doesn’t taste as raw as Minhaus regular.

Downside: It’s only 4.9% booze, so you may want to go for something stronger if you’re looking for more than a winter pee.
