High Grades for High Grade

High Grades for High Grade

If I’m talking about high grade it’s more likely in reference to motor oil than my academic achievements. Fonger could be at the corner store (in Canada any corner these days) shopping for some high grade. Miners like high grade but aren’t too fond of high grading.*...

Welcome to the Motel California

Welcome to the Motel California

Checking in to Motel California and this is no California common accommodations. Our West Coast host with the most toast is a Pilsner. But this isn’t a New York or a Boston or a St.John’s or a St.John Pilsner, this is a Pilsner of the West Coast variety.* A West Coast...

A Stockyards Sour, Say It Isn’t So, So

A Stockyards Sour, Say It Isn’t So, So

I’m a big Stockyards fan. Their Festbier was the best beer. Their Missed Calls is not to be missed. And their Iron Horse IPA kept rollin’ all night long. All super suds status. So when I saw a new brew of theirs on the shelf, I packed that puppy into my 8 pack and...

Get Some Dank in Your Tank

Get Some Dank in Your Tank

Another defining moment in COMDB history! The standard definition of dank is unpleasantly moist or humid. The word is also used to describe high quality marijuana as in “That’s some dank weed you’ve got there, man.”  Not coincidentally, some of the hops used in IPAs...

Seagull Suds and the Pursuit of Hoppiness

Tomb Raider

I guess the only beer you could feature a tomb on would be a dark beer, especially if the tomb in question, the Hopkins Tomb, is haunted. That’s right. Phantasms, poltergeists, spirits, specters and spooks. Lost souls, inexistential insomniacs. All the horrors of a...

St.Patrick’s Day Canadian Style

St.Patrick’s Day Canadian Style

Happy St.Patrick’s day and may the trim of your jib match the wind in your sails, or some other such malarky. I just made that up and I’m no sailor so I’m not sure what it means, if it means anything at all, but it sounds like an Irish toast. It also sounds like a...

Metropolis

Metropolis

Sounds like a Raymond Chandler novel, “The Long Goodbye”, “The Big Sleep”, “Metropolis Noir”. * Metropolis is also the name of a famous 1927 movie. Credited as the first full length science fiction movie ever made, it’s the story about a dystopian future in the year...

Marshall Pioneer Pepper Serves Up a Buenaveza

Marshall Pioneer Pepper Serves Up a Buenaveza

At the ultimate Arizona tourist dinner and partaking in a pint,  with Marshall Pioneer Pepper the singing Cowboy entertaining us. He deputized us to help ensure things didn't get out of hand. Kinda like the Hell's Angel's at Altamont for the Stones.* After a few Roy...
