COMDB Appreciation of the Arts

COMDB Appreciation of the Arts

Art appreciation time at COMDB. No, I’m not going to treat you to another one of my Hallmark worthy rhymes.* Instead, how about something much more tasteful, a Collective Arts sampling, their Guava Gose no less! I seem to remember a past guava brewski that I thought...

A Flagon of Dragon

A Flagon of Dragon

When Daenerys walked out of her husband’s funeral pyre, the weeping widow had no burns of any degree and three baby dragons in tow. She named one of the little lizards after her late husband, Drogon.* That’s right, Drogon the dragon.  That red and black flying flaming...

It’s Butterbeer

It’s Butterbeer

It’s called Butterbeer* and it’s good. It’s not real beer like my Poppy drinks. I got it at a Harry Potter themed birthday party for my friend. We watched a Harry Potter movie too and had cake and candy and stayed up real late. Butterbeer tastes good and fizzy, it’s...

A Good Friday Boil Up Sounds Good to Me

A Good Friday Boil Up Sounds Good to Me

The Baie Verte peninsula is “au couer du petit nord” according to this beer can. What I do know is the town of Baie Verte is about a 6 hour drive North of St. John’s, 7 hours if it’s raining hard enough to float the ark, don’t you Noah. Up here you can watch whales or...

A Burning Question or Two

A Burning Question or Two

Time for a coast to coast toast. Just finished a Vancouver tour and what could be further from Stanley Park than St. John’s? * Our Newfoundland tour begins with a St.John’s stalwart, an 1892, and what is so significant about that year is the burning question. The...

Washing Away Some Evil Spirits with a Tsingtao

Washing Away Some Evil Spirits with a Tsingtao

Another giant Asian brewery yields one chilly Tsingtao, direct from China to my beer fridge. I’ve been to China a few times, walked the Great Wall, bought some souvenirs at the little shop at the gate, I think it was called Wall Mart. The scroll in the pic is a gift I...

Hazy Days in the Bays

Hazy Days in the Bays

Hey Hudson, why have just one, when you can have a Lake of Bays. That’s right, I’m missing my Muskoka so pouring a Lake of Bays Morning Haze. My usual antidote for a morning haze is a strong cup of joe. Of course, by the time I have finished one cup, Farmer Steve is...
