I wouldn’t call myself a sommelier of the sour, but just like Sergio I’ve contemplated the good, the bad and the ugly and captured them for posterity. * And it’s not my first POG either, the classic Passion Fruit, Orange and Guava fruit salad of a sour. ** I’m...
The La Trappe guys and gals (Munks and Nuns) tell us to “Taste the silence”. * What the hell does that mean? I imagine cursing in a Monastery represents some kind of sacrilege, but really? I’ve heard the sounds of silence, the original and the excellent cover by...
This review will be short and sweet. Short as in angry and sweet because this brew was too damn sweet. Out at The Grist with my wife for life for a tasty repast. The Goat, that traditional Bock mascot, * is the newest addition to the Grist list and my brew du jour....
Way back in the day, Saturday night was hockey night in Canada! Which of the six teams in the league would battle it out on our 22" black and white screen? Foster Hewitt yelling into the metal microphone "He shoots! He scores!" and the Canadiens PA system announcing "...
In school we all contributed equally to the grocery bill, with one exception. When it came to Peanut Butter apparently my consumption far outweighed my contribution * so for me it was BYOPB. Even today my go to comfort food is a peanut butter and grape jelly sandwich....

Good old Theodor Geisel was looking in the mirror on December 26th 1956 when he came up with the Grinch. He was also known to have a drink every now and then. Sounds like he was well qualified to be a member of the cranky old men club. * I was having a beer with RA at...
Just like Captain Morgan (yes the same one that adorns that half finished bottle of rum in the liquor cabinet that no one has touched since three Christmases ago) I too search for the cup of gold. * His cup of gold was Panama (he had to settle for Jamaica), mine is...
The grandkids had decided long ago that Santa wasn’t real, and yet the presents from himself the once a year elf kept coming. So, they were debating whether Santa Claus was me or Grandma. Since Santa is a jolly old man with a beard, and I am a cranky old man drinking...
It wasn’t just another manic Monday, despite what Susanna may tell you. * This one was something special. The Crownsmen crew assembled mid-day Monday for the Christmas Edition of The Crownsmen Show with COMDB in tow. Jerrod presented his Top 5 partners and we aren’t...
