We quickly dispatched an Instant Crush, we were amazed by a Wonder Crush, and we tapped out with The Crusher. We have also sampled a few Frank brews, Their Old Comrade gave us a red scare, then we were able to relax with their smooth Hoperator, both achieving super...
Every hour we have a beer in our hand is a happy hour for us COM. But when a few of us can get together at Northern Maverick for a brew, during their happy hour, that’s a bonus. In the little apple for the big ball game. It was a defensive battle with some impressive...
The old man’s favourite author was Louis L’Amour. His favourite TV show was Gunsmoke. When it came to music he liked both kinds, country and western, although he preferred Western, Johnny Cash in particular. * So he may have appreciated this rootin’ tootin’ red headed...
Our cottage country brew tour of the Muskokas was an epic hike through the wind-swept pines with a mandatory visit to the largest beer spa in the world. Calabogie is calling us up for a more Eastern Ontario cottage country quest from Algonquin Park down the Madawaska...

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...
The COMDB Translation department tell us that an Eisbӓren is a Polar bear. I've seen browns and blacks in the wild (if you want to call my trailer porch or my backyard the wild) but I've only ever seen a polar bear doing its sad slow to and fro nowhere to go walk at...
