Here at COMDB were are an equal opportunity drinker when it comes to beer, we try them all, at least once. The Gose genre* is not completely unfamiliar to us. We have told a few Gose stories around the old campfire, some of them pretty scary I must admit. In some ways...
What the hell is a thunderhead?* Maybe the latest James Bond movie? Perhaps the latrine at a special camp for the lactose intolerant? Or a common condition experienced the morning after the Cranky Old Men AGM? Whatever a thunderhead is, it sounds like Canvas is...
According to Hemingway “In every port in the world, at least two Estonians can be found.”* Sure enough, according to the most recent census information, Port Colborne has 10 Estonians. This has next to nothing to do with this beer review, but who doesn’t love quoting...
Back in la belle province, at least in spirit, and spirits. St. Ambroise, the patron Saint of …. you guessed it… beekeepers, is the namesake of Montreal based brewer McAuslan’s award winning lineup of brews. So, what do beers, bees, and beatitudes have in common you...

Hey Common Good, Jamaica good beer do you? As old Bob Marley would say, “you see, we taking it easy”* with this light island lager. I think Marley would have liked a beer company named the Common Good, but today’s quiz for duck is closer to home, as in will the COM...
A dark beer while listening to Dark Side of the Moon seemed to be a fitting follow-up to all the hoopla surrounding the elliptical illusion. At least the clouds prevented any fried like eggs eyes, sunny side up I assume. For those of you who drove hundreds of miles,...
Popping the top on one big bad Berliner bear of a beer. Will it be unbearably bad, or barely bearable? Maybe it will bear up to the scrutiny of the COM, or perhaps even get a super suds bear hug? Straight from Germany, the big red bear* is serving up a pilsner trio on...
