Good Reception for a Detour

Good Reception for a Detour

Attending a wedding reception and I have been designated the designated driver, perhaps due to past performances at similar events? So, it’s one and done for me. Meanwhile the Department of Morality is into the rum and colas like Hunter S Thompson on a visit to San...

A Hail of an Ale

A Hail of an Ale

Cranking up the old BBQ, and poppin’ the top on a Hail Mary from Brimstone Brewing. Naming a beer Hail Mary, is that sacrilege? The last BB brew review was their Sinister Minister, I think these guys at Brimstone are playing with fire. Hold up in an old church, they...

Copy That

Copy That

Sure looks like a Corona copy to me. From the Cool (not Coors) Beer company. Out of Mimico, I kid you not.* They even instruct you to “add a twist of lime” on the bottle. What’s different is this is a light beer as in both quantity light and ABV light. There is...

Bitters with a Touch of Twisted

Bitters with a Touch of Twisted

Is this brew as twisted and bitter as Queen Grimhilde? Or Cruella de Ville? Or Scar? Enough Disney references.* Harry and Megan may be a modern day real-life example of twisted and bitter but as they say in the army, no sympathy for self-inflicted wounds. One of the...

Sip to Survive, or to Savour?

Sip to Survive, or to Savour?

Last night I hankered for a tankard but the beer fridge suds selection was somewhat slim with just stouts, sours and saisons on the shelves. Looks like it’s summer stout sampling season with a sip to survive stubby. Once again I had to enlist the support of the COMDB...

Life is Purple?

This sour reminded me of the artist formerly and subsequently known as Prince * who was also known as “The Purple One”. And of course his favourite colour was …..orange.** I did see Prince in concert back in the day. I had heard a few of his songs beforehand and...

Lagunitas Heinie

Lagunitas Heinie

Is this big brewer brew review week or what? First a Landshark and now a Lagunitas. The COMDB translation department tell us that Lagunitas is Spanish for lagoon. It also happens to be the town in California where founder Magee started brewing back in 93. He moved his...

A Cool One at the Cottage

A Cool One at the Cottage

Well the summer is finally here in full force and while I do enjoy the great outdoors and all those summer activities, they can create a powerful thirst. Nothing better than to quaff a cool one in the summer. This beer looked delicious right out of the can with a deep...

Fins Up!

Fins Up!

Inspired by Jimmy Buffet’s song Magaritaville,* and part of the reason the laidback sandals and sea-shore singer is a billionaire, the Landshark Lager brand is owned by Anheuser -Busch InBev.  What began in Jacksonville mainland Florida as an “island beer”, has gone...

Weathering the Storm Quite Nicely

Weathering the Storm Quite Nicely

Old Johny Keats could rhyme you right round the bend and back and win that girl for you while he was at it. But what the hell is a KEETS?  Storm Stayed has us in a fog over this one. But when it comes to beer tasting, what’s in the can is more important than what’s on...
