The COMDB Creed

The COMDB Creed

The Farmer’s Creed * meets the fisherman’s creed with this light lager. “A feller isn’t plotting schemes. Out fishin’. He’s only busy with his dreams. Out fishin’. His livery is a coat of tan, his creed to do the best he can. A feller’s always mostly man. Out...

Another art appreciation session from the fine folks at CA.  So what’s new? Well, were sampling a new IPA, New England style, with hops from New Zealand. So it turns out there’s lots new about this brew. A thick as a brick pour, carbonated extra pulp OJ style. No...

Rigs O’Barley Malt

Rigs O’Barley Malt

Any good Scotsman can tell you that Old Robbie Burns was outstanding in his field and I’m sure Annie could attest to that as well. But can this farm fresh Scottish Export Ale from Quayle’s be as fresh as Burns was that Lammas night among the rigs o’ barley? * This...

Ginger Ale is Now in Saison

High Grass? Lemongrass and ginger? Cannabis Dry Ginger Ale? Sounds like a drink Fonger would order. * High grass could also refer to the usual destination of my drives on the links, unless of course there is water on the course. You gotta have balls to play golf like...

Hot and Cold in Rome

Hot and Cold in Rome

The armchair COMDB Euro trip and tip brew tour continues, and it should be no surprise that at some point we’d end up in Italy. After all, they say all roads lead to Rome. Except of course for that well paved and multilane highway to hell which despite the heavy toll...

Armchair traveling to a place I’ve never been and in all likelihood will never visit, Poland. Nothing wrong with Poland mind you, I’d love to stop by for a brew or two. But when you cross reference the bucket list with the bank account and factor in the preferences of...

Smoky the Beer

Smoky the Beer

When I talk to brewers their chief beef about reviewers is when we rate a beer poorly just because we don’t like the genre. Wheat’s not a treat, so even though it’s great it doesn’t rate. A blueberry brew may be too good to be true, but if It’s not your pour it gets a...

Juiced Up not Spruced Up

How do you escape a thirst trap? I thought the answer was obvious, you drink you’re way out. But these days nothing is at it seems, is it. Apparently a “thirst trap” has more to do with the half-clothed gentleman pictured on the can (the beer can, not the toilet)...

This Palomino is One Wild Ride

This Palomino is One Wild Ride

Roy Rogers rode a Palomino; Trigger was known as “the smartest horse in the movies”. But when it comes to smart horses, “A horse is a horse, of course, of course, And no one can talk to a horse of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.”...

Half Quart in Session

Half Quart in Session

Could this session brew name be a reference to RA leaving The Ports before dark? Or a 60’s acid flashback? It did remind me of the Beatles 1965 song of the same name. * But the brew can pic certainly implies an afternoon outdoor outing, ending up in the evening back...
