Last night I searched the beer fridge of fame, fable and fortune and picked a tasty sounding small can brew for my late night quaff. Salted caramel in big print, I never bother with the small print. It was only after quaffing this brew that I saw the 11% on the can....
Another rogue trip to Kingsville, wandering and wondering what their IPA will be like. Kingsville claims that their beers are for those that wander, maybe this beer will be the Rosie on Dion’s chest, or will Kingsville be U2's city without a soul?* This brew pours old...
Cary Grant could be the most famous Bristolian. J.K. Rowling, the first billionaire author, could be the wealthiest Bristolian. John Cleese is without a doubt the funniest Bristolian. But who is Matthew of Bristol? Time for a COMDB history lesson. We all know that in...
An extra stout*, well isn’t that special. Or is it? And a Lonely Howl no less. I immediately thought of Thurston Howell III and Lovey, stranded on Gilligan’s Island. They must have been lonely Howells** being the only rich people stranded on the island. Whoever...

Kingsville, Kingston, King City, King’s Town, the Lion King, a King with an axe beats one-eyed jacks. Hey, we have a new King now don’t we, our first in over 70 years. It’s the man formerly known as Prince! I wonder if his reign will be purple? He certainly has big...
Monday Night Football wild card game, my Dallas Cowboys vs. Old Man Brady and his Tampa Bay Young Bucs. The Dallas defense took Buc passer Brady to school, it wasn’t the Cowboys first rodeo but it may be Brady’s last one. Never sure of the outcome of any game, I had...
At the cottage last night and I had all my ducks in a row. A chilled glass and a Fenelon Vienna Lager to go with my chips. A fire sparking and sputtering, as opposed to roaring, I was never much of a boy scout**, although when it comes to my evening brew I like to be...
