Super Suds Pale

Super Suds Pale

This pale rider rode into town meaning business. Of course, that business being quenching my thirst. Silversmith has been on a roll with COMDB. Our first intro to the Virgil church-based brewer was The Black Lager and since then all of their offerings have received...

Don’t Forget the Accent

Don’t Forget the Accent

Anemone? Isn’t that the plant I can never pronounce properly? Suck it up, buttercup. But since this brew is from the belle province I thought that the COMDB translation department could shed some light on the situation. The first thing they pointed out was my lack of...

Ain’t Life Grand

Ain’t Life Grand

Editor: Once again RA is on the case, this time a Grand River* brew. The brewery was founded in 2007 and originally located in Cambridge Ontario, on the banks of the Grand River. It was purchased by Magnotta Wines in 2018. In 2020 Magnotta closed the Cambridge brewing...

English Lesson

English Lesson

Another Shillow beer of the month club offering, will we have another mystery brew on our hands today or is this brew in fact an English Ale? A Gloucester based brewery, another Ontario community with a decidedly British name. Gloucester UK * is about 2.5 hours due...

Muskoka Shorts

Muskoka Shorts

As far as I’m concerned, I couldn’t care less if it’s 5 o’clock anywhere. I’m at the cottage, it’s hot, I’m thirsty and retired. Sounds like it’s time to try on some Party Shorts for size. A session IPA is in session. From my last sampling of an ass kicking heavy duty...

Bon Fire Black

Bon Fire Black

I thought this brew (and corresponding brew pic*) might be a good segue into a shout out to my old buddy Crazy George who goes down to Burning Man each year in Nevada.** What started out as a bon fire vigil on Baker Beach has become a 70,000 strange and strong event...

It’s Yabai!

It’s Yabai!

I parlez-vous a bit but Japanese is Greek to me so it was time for the COMDB translation department to do their thing. They tell me that “yabai” means “terrible” in Japanese. I called them on that one, risking their wrath, but I figured that couldn’t be right. I said...

Everyone Wins in a Beer War

Everyone Wins in a Beer War

Draft Anderson Cream Ale vs Anderson Cream Ale, which will prevail? Beer war! Which one will "tap" out? Usually I quaff and take notes, last night’s brew, today’s review. But I am typing while tasting tonight since tomorrow is none other than the third annual COMDB...

Good to Go

Good to Go

Farmer Steve will be the first to tell you that cheap is good, but not good enough. Cheap beer is good only if the beer is good. The Yup!Beer claim to fame is cheap beer. But good too. Yup!Lite achieved the COMDB Super Suds status seal of approval. Their latest...
