Tributary? German Style Wheat? Can you see the concerned look in my words? When it comes to wheat beers I usually go against the grain. Not my thing. I love me an amber, but I’m not too sweet on the wheat. My last Avling adventure was a super suds experience from the...
The legend of the Blarney Stone is that those who kiss it are bestowed “the gift of gab”. * I can think of a few politicians who probably not only kissed it but may have sucked on it for a while. Come to think of it, there are a few that may have swallowed it and...
At the Lake of Bays Bracebridge Barrlehouse for a brew and it turned out to be a serendipitous suds sampling. Serendipitous, how so you say, because you enjoy an alliteration as much as I do. * Well, I hand my business card to the bar tender, because when I’m...
One honey brown goin’ down, straight from the Haliburton Highlands into my glass. As Jackie Gleason would say “how sweet it is”, * and of course the “it” he was referring to was life. It’s another thirsty Thursday and COMDB are on the Crownsmen Show to add some 5%...

Our cross Canada cost to coast toast to the Country with the most continues. We're now in the western most prairie province, Alberta. Although it is one of the prairie provinces, it's probably best known for the Rockies, Banff, the Calgary Stampede, and oil. It is the...
Last night the Saskatchewan Roughriders beat the Montreal Alouettes to win the 112th Grey Cup classic, the penultimate prize in the Canadian Football League. When thinking about where to go for a little R&R, Regina is neither R and most likely not the first...
As we continue our coast-to-coast toast to Canada, we leave the great lakes of Ontario for the land of 10,000 lakes, Manitoba, the start of the prairie provinces. We roll on down the highway with a great Manitoba band, BTO.* When Fonger first heard that song he...
