Time for another defining moment for COMDB. “Classic” is defined as “being judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind”. We have featured a number of classics in our reviews. A bootleg album with a misspelled “Starway to...
When two of our favourite brewers get together it calls for a collaboration celebration. If you are thinking to yourself, “what’s the big deal, it’s just a pilsner” I think you need to rethink your thinking. This is no ordinary, typical, run of the mill, common place...
Is this bring your Ursus Maritimus to the bar week or what? After an Eisbӓren bock bear, now we are sampling a Boréale big white bear beer. Then there was that polar park pilsner we partook in. Or that high flying great white in flight from Maverick. I could go on an...
"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" so said Rudyard Kipling * long before Muskoka brewed this bicoastal toast to East and West. The brew name reminded me of Howard Hughes, or is that Hugh Hefner? I always get those two confused. One...
I was preparing for that reliable sign of spring arrival. Not the Cherry blossom festival. Not the tune-up on the lawn mower. No, this is the seasonal Toronto Maple Leaf disintegration in the Stanley Cup playoffs. There is always a glimmer of hope and I wanted a good...

A light beer that technically isn’t light. * A pilsner that they say is a Euro style lager. An Off the Hop Brewhouse brew, brewed at Newark Brewery. Is anything about this brew as it seems? Is this one of Rumsfeld’s unknown unknowns? A hops and malt mystery wrapped in...
Blondie, Billy Idol, Taylor Momsen, Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Sting, and Grace Potter. All strong blondes who rock. * Ok, I know, there is a lot of peroxide in the mix but it’s rock and roll, so anything goes. Now I’ll introduce you to another strong blonde that rocks,...
First ride of the season is always something special. Fingers crossed that the battery will crank over that 28 year old V-twin. After a couple of nerve shaking backfires taking it down the road, hoping it won’t stall at the first stop light. Easy on the corners, watch...
Driving back from la belle province I had to do some “parle en douceur” to convince the sûreté du Québec that all the beer I was bringing back was for personal consumption. Once I identified myself as one of the cranky old men who “boire de la bière” the officer gave...
