After a long flight from Toronto and a layover in Manilla, I sat down and ate a tuna sandwich with a local beer from the Philippines. This San Miguel* beer looked good and it said “Expertly Brewed since 1890" so why not try it. I have to admit after the long rather...
Take it easy, slow and steady, Big Rig is haulin’ an Alpha Bomb. In addition to being a real bomb*, and the signature wrestling move* of “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown, the Alpha Bomb is a Big Rig Hazy IPA. I just poured one into my glass, being careful to avoid any...
You are witnessing a defining moment at COMDB! The definition of an “odd bird” is a rather unusual, strange, eccentric, or peculiar person. The name odd bird reminded me of the Jerzy Kosinski book “The Painted Bird” in which Kosinski tells us a story of a boy, while...
I don’t know who this guy Charlie Horse is but he sounds like a pain. The Charlie on this beer can also happens to be a centaur, to add a visual layer to the already “lame” pun. I would never profess to be an authority on half man half horse creatures but I have never...
Big Tim (she calls him Fred) from Cape Breton is all Spruced up after working on the coal boat, according to our old friend Stompin’ Tom.** And I imagine working on the coal boat would build up a powerful thirst, I mean I’m just sitting watching the ballgame in my...
Starting off our arm chair tour of the East coast with this Island brew and it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. Wait a minute, it’s 5 o’clock here. Beer me. Flying solo on a wing and a prayer and a Gahan 1772 tall ship full of Scottish settlers*. Maybe my ship has come in? The...
I’m watching the Blue Jays and quaffing a pint, and the Department of Morality asks what I am up to and I tell her “ I am watching the game and having a Jealous Mistress.” Next thing I know the missus is taking the can away, with a stern look of disapproval at my poor...
India is not a country normally associated with beer but during my visit there earlier this summer, I asked for the "local beer" , I was given a Kingfisher Lager and I was pleasantly surprised. Although the name goes back to 1857, the brand was reinvented by a jet...
Not just easy and not just wicked, its wicked easy dude, because according to Sam Adams easy drinking wasn’t good enough for him. And not Wicked Awesome, but Wicked Easy. And we all know there is no rest for the wicked**, or beer reviewers for that matter. The word...
On the BBQ deck and this patio is licensed. The grillmaster (to be clear, that’s me) is in need of hydration of the malt and barley variety. An Original Lager from Shawn and Ed might just check that box. After my last poor pour I am taking no chances and drinking...
