At the Ontario Craft Brewers big beer conference and the taps open at 10AM, about the time I’m usually having my second cup of coffee, and Farmer Steve is having his second pot. You would have to cross the Atlantic to find that special 5 o’clock somewhere spot at 10AM...
Another Frontibus in front of us, right from the Gaspe coast to my end table coaster. Our COMDB Translation Department made quick work of this one. L’Amiral is “The Admiral” in English. Now if you’re thinking about Horatio Nelson or that old joke about the “rear”...
This isn’t the first pint of paradise we have partaken in. We found Paradise Lost and sampled Newfoundland’s provincial bird,* the Space Puffin straight out of Paradise NL. This Clifford pint of paradise is artificial, and that’s official, but not superficial. We...
They say the devil is in the details. * They say a lot of other trite cliches as well, but some how this one seemed appropriate. Our Cranky Old trick or treat countdown has bookend Blood Brothers Bellwoods brews. First their Goblin’s Trill, and now their Devil’s...

A James Brown dance move, a starchy supper staple, and now a beer! * Once thought extinct by aleontologists, the rarely brewed and not oft quaffed potato lager is ready for a big-time comeback courtesy of Sawdust City. The COMDB translation department quickly told us...
They cancelled the Late Night show of the Honorary Mayor of Dildo, * can you believe it! But one week later Jimmy was back with a vengeance, literally. ** Me, I’m having a Late Night at noon for a 5 o’clock somewhere brew, no cable required for this daytime drama....
It’s no surprise that spaced out Brewer Paniza, * purveyor of such self-professed out of this world pints as Jupiter Pilsner, and Mars Bock, would name their oatmeal stout Black Hole. A black hole is no laughing matter when you understand the gravity of the...
A beer from Moxee? No. A beer with moxie?* Maybe. A beer that is a shout out to the town of Moxee, in Washington State. Yes. 6 hours Southeast of Vancouver depending on the time it takes for the cross-border body cavity search, Officer Ben Dover presiding. Moxee is...
