From downtown Toronto to the shipyards of Vancouver, I’m on the East to West armchair express. Sampling this West Coast brew called East of the Sun from North Point breweries and with no sense of direction this review is going South pretty quick. But the name of this...
Water on the water, beer on the pier. Pier pressure or just good advice? * Time to lock and roll with Port Dalhousie’s Lock Street and fill it up to the brim to win with Brimstone brewery. But a beer named Pier Pressure could be a Pilsner from Coast, or a Kolsch from...
I remember meeting Daryl Sittler in the mid-90’s. His business card simply said “Daryl Sittler; Businessman”. We had just taken our company public and he was a board member. When we met he said “So you’re the cashflow part of the business” because my part of the...
Our Editor throws more shade than a streetlamp at midnight.* Me, I’m a live and let live kinda guy, a mellow fellow. The old duck once told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That philosophy is sometimes a bit of a challenge when...
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...

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...
After an old comrade of Frank gave us a red scare, now Frank is encouraging us to relax and enjoy a smooth Hoperator.** Relax, take a load off, chill and swill. Some sound advice if I do say so myself. According to the can this beer is the result of “nice guys...
It’s not so sober October and the dark brews have hit the shelves. Dark days are here again! After sampling (and enjoying) a Newfoundland German Light Lager, how about a Muskoka Czech Dark Lager. Both lagers, but as different as day and night. It’s one of my favourite...
