Blonde is a pretty direct moniker, about as simple and straightforward as you can get when it comes to the naming game. MacLean’s beer names are usually pretty plain Janes and Johns, although their Lazy Hazy IPAzy was getting a little crazy. The exception that proves...
The Ports is like Cheers for seniors, where everyone used to know your name. * Whenever I drink a pub ale I immediately think “would this meet the high standards of the Ports clientele.” If it is cold and beer it certainly meets those standards. But as far as a COMDB...
A light lime lager, an alliteration addict's aphrodisiac. It was a fine time for a 2.0 lime, here's hoping this light turns out just right. So eager to try this Sleeman special that I find myself conversing in verse for better or worse, and I know there's rhyme but...
The last time I ordered a beer at Tom’s Place was 51 years ago, and this time I didn't get carded. * A cozy quaffing cafe that looks like a taxidermist showroom, more stuffed animals than a hotdog eating contest. But not exactly a craft conisseur's oasis. All the...
Once we found ourselves in the high grass we knew we had a problem that Houston couldn’t help us with. We needed a hero. Maybe a young Kevin Bacon dancing through the grist mill, all footloose and fancy free? Or a pre-mole removal Enrique Iglesias? Bowie suggested we...

Dorothy said it best, there’s no place like home. After a mini armchair Eurotour I’m back just in time to celebrate our great country. Happy Canada Day Eh! I’ve done Canada from coast to coast to coast and many pints in between. Canada is big and one way we show it is...
Winding up our armchair brew tour of Europe and looking forward to getting home to celebrate Canada Day. But before we do, we have one more Euro brew to do. And it’s no surprise to anyone that we would end up in Munich Germany, Oktoberfest central, with a brewer who...
From Sweden to Poland and now we find ourselves in Spain on this COMDB European armchair tour. * Barcelona, home of Sagrada Familia Basilica, a church that’s been under construction for over 140 years, for heaven’s sakes. When asked about why the construction was...
The Beatles, Deep Purple, Cheap Trick, KISS, they all rocked Tokyo. * Me, never been there, haven’t done that, and didn’t get the T- shirt. There lots I don’t know about Tokyo, and now there’s one more thing. Why would Swedish based Omnipollo name this beer after...
