A brunch brew for the Crownsmen crew on another thirsty Thursday show. We didn’t solve many of the pressing problems the world faces today, unlike our usual shows. Our keen observations, amazing insights and implementable solutions are usually driven by 5% plus...
I have received quite a few requests to review non-alcoholic beers. You may not be surprised to learn that all of them have come from the Department of Morality, that being my much better half. Happy spouse, happy house, is the way the politically correct saying goes....
Farmer Steve is so cheap he's free, so when he brings a case of Laker to the party that tells you something. The beer store calls it a " value priced" beer. Waterloo Brewing, * the pour the boar brewers, are also the Laker maker, but keep the brands separate. What I...
A marshallow IPA? A craft brew concept so bizarre that it could only be the handiwork of those freaky far-out Flying Monkeys.Those flashy flyers are a COM favourite, but to be honest I always thought marshmallows were a campfire confection best served on flame and...

Free beer, open bar, on the house. Each phrase is distinctive yet they have unity in meaning. Each has a nice ring to it as well, all just roll off the tongue and are pleasing to the ear. But these concepts are not abstract at all, especially to the COMDB team. The...
A white tiger. Exotic, dangerous, unique, rare, poorly camouflaged, but nonetheless intriguing. White IPAS are typically hopped up Wit bieres. A combination that seems counterintuitive to this old quaffer, however I was surprised to see that the majority of White...
