Time for another daily double but I wouldn’t bet on the Exacta this time around. Double is where the similarities end. From a Doppelbock Dunkel to a Double Dry Hopped IPA. Kloster Andechs is from a centuries old Bavarian monastery, while Fuerst Wiacek is 2016 founded...
Here at COMDB we’ve sampled Campfires and Bon Fires. Then there was the Fire Ban, which we ignored and instead has a bittersweet encounter with an Old Flame. We scored a Fire Glow by the fire and enjoyed a Blackburn or two while we were at it. We stoked up the BBQ...
Maple syrup on my pancakes, a Maple Leaf on my flag, more Maple Leafs names on the Stanely Cup. These are all maple moments I can fully support. Maple in my beer, not so much. Wildwoods Amber resulted in some major maple misgivings, while the Curious Club’s Pancake...
After a ski weekend with the grandkids I was in dire need of an energy drink of some sort and Rocket Fuel sounded like just the ticket for an out of this world experience. We know that our Old Comrade Frank is one smooth Hoperator so I had some sky high hopes for this...
Spoiler Alert! If you haven't seen the saddest movie Disney ever made, don't.* You will be depressed for a week. If you must subject yourself to such self imposed emotional damage by watching the movie Old Yeller then don't read the rest of this brew review. Long...

After a challenging brew or two, a Christmas doublebock shock to the system, and an uncharacteristic SC IPA, I thought it was time to play it safe and get back to basics with a righteous red. Playing it safe never made anyone a winner but I'm sure it prevented quite a...
After a somewhat stressful Christmas Day tasting, which left me thankful Christmas Day beers only come once a year, it was time for a Boxing Day special. You can usually count on Sawdust City for a super suds sampling so I thought a Fall flashback, their Autumn IPA,...
What are the three scariest words for a COM on Christmas Eve? Sure, “No beer left” is pretty scary but if you’ve seen my beer fridge, you’d know it’s a totally hypothetical situation. Then there is “Family movie time”, sitting through Elf or Home Alone for the...
Grolsch, the famous Dutch brewer based in The Netherlands. I wonder which city, town, village or hamlet (Hamlet was Dutch wasn’t he?)* this European brew is brewed in? Perhaps Zundert, the home of Van Gogh? Or Amsterdam, with its colorful districts lit in red and its...
