Porcine Parade

Porcine Parade

Cruising the canal on the old V-Twin. Playing catch with the grandson. Searing steaks on the backyard BBQ, with the occasional flambe flank. As per the COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing we know that well done is well done. What’s missing from this seemingly...

Malt Assault Survival Guide

Malt Assault Survival Guide

Farmer Steve tells us a little DAB’ll do ya’. I’m here to tell you that a lot of DAB may do ya’ in. The Maibock 7% solution left some questions unanswered so we are back again with an 8% DAB Ur-Bock kickin’ ass and takin’ names. After a Mai-Bock I thought maybe Ur was...

Saline Maritime Canine

Our thirsty Thursday was more like a freaky Friday. The day before Friday the 13th and this Crownsmen Show might as well have been the next day for all the luck we had. More technical issues than a ketamine fueled SpaceX launch, but thanks to our always on the ball...

Free Wheelin’ is Bananas

Free Wheelin’ is Bananas

In 1963 Bob Dylan was free wheelin’ with his iconic second album. Strollin’ down the highway on Jones Street in the West Village with his girl from the North Country, hair blowin’ in the wind. The weather forecast was that a hard rain’s a-gonna fall, but they didn’t...

A Love Letter?

A Love Letter?

Une letter d’amour from the brewer. Cardinal tell us that this brew is a love letter to l’houblon Cascade. You know you’re a serious beer lover when you are writing (or brewing as the case may be) love letters to hops. But not just any hop. Cascade hops * started the...

Miami Nice or Miami Vice?

Miami Nice or Miami Vice?

It’s art appreciation day at COMDB with this Miami NEIPA. And we certainly do appreciate Collective Arts and their contribution to the cranky old brew review gallery. There was Peak to Peak which made a valid point (or two). Then there was Chroma Chromatic, a...

No Sun, but Shade

No Sun, but Shade

Seems like it's been raining for three days solid. If I wanted this weather I would have moved to Vancouver years ago. Farmer Steve might be welcoming this drenching, but not me. Time to check out the beer fridge and see what temptations are lurking there. Shade, a...
