Is this a diamond of a cherry baby, maybe? Or should we runaway from this cherry bomb? We could join Ryan and move into a house on Cherry Lane where we can pick all the cherries we want. * Wouldn’t life be a bowl full of them then. Knowing my luck, I’d end up with...
I remember as a kid seeing that super scary movie The Birds.* Only Alfred Hitchcock could make birds on a wire suspenseful and scary. I mean really, how can you be scared of something that has its pecker on its face? But I remember after seeing that movie when I...

Our featured brewer out of Saint-Jérôme, Québec, is Dieu du Ciel, translation; God of the Sky. * Speaking of Gods of the sky, have you heard the story of Uranus and Cronus. You may have some relationship issues with your kids but there probably aren’t many of you out...
COMDB have been selected as a treatment group in a single blind study to pick Nickel Brook’s next beer. This is the type of assignment that us COM take very seriously, and let us just say, we are happy we’re not in the control group. * Mystery Beer A is only...
You know when you expect something to be something but it turns out being something else? That something can be a good thing or a bad thing, but here’s the thing. I expected a lean mean Philippine horse kick ass brew and I got a creamy malty slow going Belgian...
