Lunch at Clear Lake Brewery with the COM in training, that would be my son. Nice setup at Clear Lake for lunch, picnic tables and good food with a frosty brew. A pet friendly spot outdoors so a number of man’s best friends were in attendance although I must admit they...
Out to lunch* with my much better half (as I am regularly reminded) and procuring a pint of Portside Pilsner portside seemed to make all kinds of sense. Portside as in Port Dalhousie. Of course, I pronounced it “Dal – how-sie” as in the Halifax University but the...
Marketing is so easy. You put up a picture of a pretty girl and you've instantly got the attention of a bunch of guys. It isn't exactly innovative, but it works. I tried this West Coast Pale Ale from Barley Days and it is really good. I can't say whether they...
Let’s step into Mr. Peabody’s WABAC* (Wayback) machine and go back to a time when people like the dude on the beer can were listening to tunes on their IPods. Wait a minute, I’m still listening to tunes on my IPod. That’s not going back. How about when we were kids...
For some reason, the bell bottomed biker on the beer can, our single friend and one eyed Jack* riding through the streets on his slow-ped mo-ped with a keg precariously balanced on the passenger seat, reminds me of an earlier version of Chicken Man, peddling his bike...

Bottom of the 9th and my Starter wasn’t available so I had to go to the Bench and bring in my pinch bitter, Shorty Hills*. Will this be a hit or will Shorty be another Casey at the bat and come up short**? The Bench Brewing slogan is “the beer from wine country”. For...
Brock Street brewers, you know, the brewery with the audacious claim of being the most refreshing street in Canada. One can only hope. And another Premium Pilsner, it seems like there are more premium brews than Dodds has pills. Makes you wonder which pilsner is the...
Panache, sounds foreign to me. The COMDB translation department were already on the case. Once they finished their 24 they got right into translating this beer’s name. Of course “panache” is an English word too, meaning flamboyant confidence of style or manner....
Today’s BBQ and beer is fire and Brimstone, Niagara based Brimstone Brewing and their Sinister Minister that is. Looks like it’s the saved that’s needin’ the savin’ this time*. If you want to tell me how great a frosty cold IPA is on a hot summer day slaving over the...
