I recently saw the ad campaign for Coors Banquet Lager “Start Your Legacy”. * Time for another COMDB defining moment. “A person’s legacy is the lasting impact, memory, or impression they leave on the world”. I thought that starting your legacy by quaffing a case of...
Amber how do I love thee, let me count the ways, Your pore I adore, and what’s more, an aroma of toffee, oft greets me. I love thy caramel malt countenance, your lager sweet innocence, And how you dwell not on bitter thought, but on that smooth finish I like a lot....
Not the catchiest name I’ve seen for a beer. Certainly not up there with Juicy Ass or Sneaky Weasel (30% sneakier) that’s for sure. But the name appears to be the yeast of our worries. Time to break it down. Niagara College Teaching Brewery (NCTB) brewed a beer for...
Outcast, pariah, anti-hero, the black sheep. In our books the black sheep of brewing could well be the Black IPA. You have to wonder why? Why would someone brew one? I love me a toasty roasty cocoa coffee stout, and a nice hoppy IPA is a juicy joy to behold ….. but...
Vimy Brewing is dedicated to brewing “true Canadian beer that celebrates everything great about Canada”. I’ll drink to that! * The brewery is named after the World War 1 battle site of Vimy Ridge where Canadian forces achieved a decisive victory, but at a high cost....

Drip Wizard came highly recommended by the cashier at the liquor store. “I tried this one last night, it was delicious”. I never thought once to question whether the two of us had similar tastes (foreshadowing). The reality is that White Stouts have not fared well on...
After an exhilarating day of white-water rafting there’s nothing quite like a nitro loco cocoa stout. Of course I wouldn’t know about any of that, I’m a two-motor boater of the wet the net variety, paddling is so passe. But perhaps this super sweet fudgy brownie brew...
I have a passing knowledge of French (I passed grade 10 French) and a tropical lake sounds a lot more inviting than the lake I’m looking at right now which is frozen as stiff as a stone statue. And believe me, decorum prevented me from using some less suitable similes...
I thought a bricks and mortar baseball reference might be the Wrigley Field ivy covered brick outfield wall, but there’s no baseball banter with this brew. Left Field, our favourite ballpark brewers are busy rhyming up a Bricks and Mortar Coffee Porter for us and I...
