With a name like Death Wave I expected a West Coast double digit triple hanging 10% on board with the four surfers of the apocalypse. But what I got instead is a 4% land locked light and lively lager from Edmonton, Alberta, the land of cattle and oil, a city not...
Me: Hey COMDB Translation Department, what does “Les Quatre Surfeurs de L’Apocalypso” translate to. COMDB Translation Department: Cool, it’s “The four surfers of the apocalypse”. Me: I don’t think that’s right. Surfers? Don’t you mean the four horsemen of the...
Consumer activism in action! We had previously reviewed this Mascot pilsner * and had torn them a second one for them succumbing to the Americanized spellcheck. They described their beer as “flavorful” rather than the Canadian spelling of “flavourful”. This new and we...
Silversmith’s tribute to our veterans is this Red Ale, Hill 145. The can is adorned with a rendering of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial which stands in northern France, commemorating the sacrifice of Canadians in World War 1. Hill 145 was the highest piece of land...

End of summer, bummer. As Joni used to say “summertime is falling down and winter is closing in”. Maybe the Beach Boys envisaged an endless summer but the Guess Who had Winter all year long. * The boys of summer are done and the other day I was in fits with the...
At the big Ontario Craft Brewers conference and you would think at a big beer event like this there would be a coffee stout break. There was lots of coffee they made the old fashion way, they urned it. * But without a doubt there was no stout about. I spied a Second...
Day 2 at the Ontario Craft Brewers conference and right out of the gate, Jake Karls takes the cake, or the chocolate squares at least * After a sociable or two the evening before some of the crowd were singing The Orange Juice Blues ** but he roused the rabble with a...
