Riverhead tell us that this brew is adventurously brewed so it seems fitting that name and artwork regale the adventures of brave Odysseus. If you have read The Odyssey you will know better than to piss off Odysseus, and that Poseidon holds a grudge for as long...
Here at COMDB we have enjoyed the art of the craft collectively with 12 different CA brews. Next to their dark and dangerous Origins of Darkness Imperial Stout which we survived, at 10.2% this is their highest ABV work of art to date that we have appraised. The can...
From the sun-drenched sandy shores of PEI we are now docked in the downpour drenched ports of Vancouver Island. Our island hopping hopfest continues. From green gables to perpetual precipitation, from spud fields to rain forests, it’s a coast to coast toast to find...
Couldn’t catch a break at Cold Break, a private party was going on and we weren’t one of their privates. Our host said, “let’s try the Merch, it’s always a good time”. Well as far as I was concerned, it was a good time to have a good time, so off we went. Bellying up...

Out for a big night in the little apple. At the Walrus and time to wet the ol’ whiskers (mine not the Walrus's). It’s draft day but we aren’t interested in a rookie. Calling in a good old Guinness on tap. Hard to go wrong with the classic. A pro pour, wish I could...
When I saw the name of this brew I sent up the ol’ bat signal for the COMDB translation department. They took on this assignment with their usual indifference. Apparently 主命 means “master’s orders” in Japanese, which just so happens to be the name of the Department of...
Maybe Okoberfest and baseball season are both over, but that doesn’t stop us from sampling a Left Field Festbier, now does it. And so, the festing continues. As for baseball, anyone around in the 70’s knows that Mr. October is none other than Reggie Jackson, who was...
