A Mining4Beer event, you had me at free beer.** The only beer at the bar I hadn’t tried was a Sol. Sol here goes. The COMDB translation department were hard at work on this one, doing some Sol searching. The ever belligerent but occasionally efficient translation team...
Touring the Muskokas with Farmer Steve and his progenies, we had to check out the Largest Beer Spa in the World. Much to our surprise, early October and the place was as busy as an Apple Store on Black Friday. What’s no surprise is that our Muskoka tour ended up at...
Ah yes, tiny cars with friends. Fond memories of the COMDB AGM with RA as the designated driver, an expression you sure don’t hear too often. Driving that tiny car in search of my last drive. This is another Refined Fool’s Summer Beer League special, brewed...
Should I be worried that I don’t worry enough? According to Bobby Ferrin and Alfred E. Neuman life is too short to worry away the day.* Brock Street Brewing seems to espouse the same philosophy with their Don’t Worry Be Hoppy. At first, I thought this brew was an IPA...

The old man’s favourite TV show was Gunsmoke, starring James Arness as Matt Dillon. But if he wanted a change of pace from a western he would watch Bonanza.* The trials and tribulations of the trice widowed Ben Cartwright and his three sons (each from a different...
On the Vegas strip and it’s as hot as a walk on the sun. Time to blow off some froth and chill with a cool craft. Beer Park sounded like a sun stroke sanctuary,* a place that might have what I’m looking for. After climbing up a set of stairs with a handrail too hot...
Black Heart stout was released last year with an advertising campaign blatantly challenging hardcore Guinness drinkers to compare the two stouts “head to head” so to speak. BrewDog and their cofounder James Watt have never shied away from a fight or the spotlight, but...
