Nice to Meet You

Nice to Meet You

I’m not scared of my own shadow, but one thing I do find truly frightening is when the Department of Labour whips up a new to do list for me. That being said, to meet my shadow, as in this dark and dangerous Imperial Black IPA, can also ignite my fright to flight or...

Shakes-beer

I think it was the Bard who said "Once more into the peach, dear friends, once more." * I don’t think he needed to say “once more” twice, do you? Shakespeare could be so dramatic at times.  But here I am, as Will of the Quill would say, once more into the peach. **...

If Only I Knew Then What I Know Now

I perused the COMDB library, diving into the dusty tomes of the archives. Specifically searching the Dewey decimal system 030 section, just to check out some “new” English. There were lots of new editions on the shelves. How about Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary...

Who’s Ronnie?

Editor’s Comment: Our intrepid Brewmeister and part time dog catcher JF got his hands on the elusive BrewDog Punk IPA and the rest is his-story. Well, well, well; it’s been a long time coming. The mythical BrewDog Punk IPA has revealed itself. * If you know where to...

Altared State

In her altared state The Department of Morality is sacrament savvy; she can converse on biblical verse until the holy cows come home. Me not so much. When it comes to Sunday service I’m the chauffeur and bag man, I drive the car and bring the cash because let me...

K-Town History in a Glass

K-Town History in a Glass

Way back in the day us Cranky Old Men frequented a few of the finer K-town establishments. The PG, like the rest of the downtown, went uptown, but before it did it had concrete floors with a beer and blood drain and was a no go except for the lowest of the low, which...
