After a series of less than super suds samplings, just like Diane K. I was looking for Mr. Goodbeer. * A craving for a curious craft led me to an establishment known to us COMDB as the Curious Club, the one and only Something in the Water, the Kingston version not...
It’s Christmas Eve eve. No that’s not a holiday greeting in the Garden of Eden, but a redundant day before Christmas eve moniker.* Beli-eve Eve? It also seems like an ideal eve for a chocolate stout, because after all what Cranky Old Christmas countdown would be...
Just like all pilsners are lagers but not all lagers are pilsners, so to are all clementines tangerines but not all tangerines are clementines. * As far as a Christmas stocking full of clementines goes, I don’t have any childhood memories of such a fruitful sock...
Last call rings, can you hear? At the bar, for one more beer. A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, drinking in a Winter Ale wonderland. * Ever since I first quaffed one of their brews I’ve been an Anderson farm fresh fan. But, and this is a Cardi B size butt, **...

Me: Hey COMDB Translation Department, what does “sticke alt” mean in German? COMDB Translation Department: Can you keep a secret? Me: Yes. COMDB Translation Department: So can we (derisive laughter in the background). Left to my own devices, I checked the COM library...
This is our fermentation experimentation termination with the next and last Nickel Brook alphabetical ale, Mystery Beer D. Is it a Cole Porter alliterative and lyrical D for “delicious, delectable, delirious, deluxe and delightful”? Or an Arctic Monkeys “D is for...
With the plethora of fake news these days, Bridgewater has hit on a topical title for their no booze brew, Fake Brews. I recall Mark Twain’s famous quote “A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth puts its boots on.” Then I find out that’s a lie, it wasn’t...
