The COM contingent are at the Clear Lake Brewery during Muskoka Oktoberfest for a bite and a brew and it’s as busy as the opposing goalie on a Leaf’s powerplay*. The CL team are doing a great job. How can you tell when you have a dedicated employee? A visible and...
Farmer Steve is so cheap he’s free, so when I told him the price tag on this special edition I thought he would need a tripel bypass. He settled down considerably when I let him know he wasn’t on the hook for his share, since Lake of the Woods had donated this brew to...
It turns out a Brut IPA isn't simply a buffed up version of your regular IPA. No, this is a new type of IPA that is gaining popularity - although I'm not sure why. The Brut IPA from Nine Locks is supposed to be "bone dry, lighter in color compared to other IPAs and...
Harry Belafonte was loading the banana boat but daylight was coming (Day-O, Day-O) and he wanted to go home.* Sounds to me like Harry was pulling an all-nighter. But this banana boat is of the Hefeweizen variety. Sounds like a job for….. you guessed it, the COMDB...

Two cranky old men quaffing and commenting on the same brew the same evening, double trouble for sure. I reached out to my old buddy Rick and let him know that I was going to partake in a Double Trouble Pecan Pie Porter, knowing that he had one on ice as well. This is...
Mark from Brock Street: Thanks for the great review on our Pilsner. If you wanna try something really unique check out our bourbon barrel sours. These were barrel aged for two years in bourbon barrels. If you like a natural (not kettle soured) sour beer, this might be...
Ever have one of those days that feels like three of those days? Well after one of those days it’s time to park myself in the lazy boy and enjoy some Sunday night football (doesn’t really matter who is playing) with an Oktoberfest Lager, it being the season, that is...
October 1st and stoking up the BBQ and pouring an IPA by the lake, by Clear Lake to be precise. You know, Clear Lake Brewing, home of the largest beer spa in the world, that’s the one. When JT brought to my attention an article about the largest beer spa in the world...
