Domestic Sunday: Tailset Ginger Ale

I don't always regret the choices in my life, and how they've lead me to be paid, except under the following circumstances:

1. Going to the John Fluevog store
2. Contemplating the purchase of original art
3. Admitting that I will probably never be able to afford a living space with air conditioning

It's been the last fact I've felt the most this weekend, as Toronto descended into a puddle of sweat, and I went to Guelph to take refuge. Now I'm back, and typing makes me sweat. However, I may have found a beer that will make the heat and humidity bearable this summer:

It's the Tailset Ginger Ale from Grand River Brewing. Like Canada Dry, but at least 4.5% better. Avid readers (ie my Mom) will remember my love for ginger-flavoured beer. I became addicted to the Phillips version while living out in Victoria, but the Mill Street Ginger Beer I found in Ontario couldn't live up to my idealized brew. And even the bottles of Phillips that made their way eastward couldn't compare to the memories. However, this one was just right, with plenty of ginger flavour. It's the perfect thing to cut your thirst, and to make the humidity almost unnoticeable. I predict it will be a frequent guest in my fridge.
