The Köstritzer brewery is named after the town of Bad Köstritzer in central Germany and is famous for their schwarzbier which they have been brewing since 1543. They even call their brewery a Schwarzbier brewery. So how will they do with a pale pilsner? A quaffing is...
Hob knobbing at a fancy private function, that’s just how we roll at COMDB. An open bar but limited selection, not that I’m complaining. I had a choice, suck on a Heinie or quaff an Ultra.* I have had a few heinies in my day (that didn’t sound good) but had never...
We learn from Disney’s The Lion King about the circle of life, the importance of family, personal responsibility and to never trust an uncle named Scar (that one seemed obvious to me). Of course, if real life was a Disney movie everything would turn out happy ever...
These days Après Ski for me is hot coffee and liniment, but back in the day we knew how to Après. However, this is no post alpine pint, I am just out and about in the little smoke, that being Sudbury, and it isn’t Saturday night. The home of stacks and Stack, so it...

I am a fool for Refined Fool brews. Love their Party Sharks IPA, delicious. And I had a good to great streak going, even a sour super suds, so would this session hazy IPA end up in my good graces too? When you are always trying new beers it is a bit like Russian...
My Nephew brought me a new beer from the east coast. I know, I know, what a great family! The name of this brew is "Tiny Dancer" from 2 Crows Brewing and is advertised as a "Hoppy Belgian Table Beer". I have to say that is a promising start and Tiny Dancer * is one of...
Sunny day, BBQ in need of tending, only experienced operators need apply. Sounded like a job for a cranky old man. But we know, as per the COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing (formerly the COMDB Guide to the Manly Art of BBQing), without a beer a BBQ is just a BBQ....
The great thing about having so many different craft breweries is the fantastic variety and availability of beer varieties across the country. The down side is that when you have a lot of brewers trying to make a distinctive brew, some of them are bound to be not so...
