If you ever see me running through the forest it will probably be an act of self preservation rather than fitness. I’m much more likely to be doing a beer run than a forest run. The woods are what I drive through to get to the lake to go fishing. There are lots of...
The Editor is fully aware how I adore an alliteration, so he wasn’t at all surprised that I had a bite and brew at the Bath based Beachside BBQ bistro. It also isn’t surprising that a place called Beachside has a Beachside Vibe, so I ordered one. A light bright lager...
Back in the day a cold weather lager for us was a Molson Diamond or Brador in February in the field before the high school dance.* Finish it before it freezes. A Deep Purple cover band, with maybe some smoke too, but not on the water. But this Dominion City throwback...
Just like a Ghostbusters sequel, this brew seemed hauntingly familiar. So just like the goose, I took a gander, checking out our COMDB archives for a Blood Brothers deja brew review. It appears that there may be some politically motivated rebranding afoot. I was never...
Last night me and Bob* were “Workin’ on a Light Moves, Trying some Flying Monkeys brews, Workin’ on a Light Moves.” Just to be clear, Seger was on the turntable, not here in person, and as far as drinking goes I think he's been dry since 2019, which coincidentally...

While JT is quaffing crafts and cavorting in Costa Rica, someone has to hold down the fort and do a brew review, or two. Ok, a few. So, I find myself thrust into the lime lite once again.* Shawn Ampersand Ed treated us to a cherries jubilee brewski previously, now...
The COMDB translation department loves German, or as they like to say “Wir lieben Deutsch”. They tells us that “Kloster” means monastery, and Andechs slogan “Genuβ für Leib & Seele” translates to “Pleasure for the body and soul”. Can this dark double bock live up...
My horse sense is limited to say the least. However, I have attended a few triple crown races. No, not in the colonies heaven forbid. The St Ledger Stakes in Doncaster, UK of course. * Ladies with big hats, gentlemen with ties and ascots. I found out that a longshot...
If you’re thinking of buying some chocolates for the missus this Valentine’s Day, a little friendly advice. Shop early, because I expect this Cowbell special is going to create a chocolate shortage in this part of the world. This one is a loco cocoa imperial storm...
