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...
In my youth I was a reader with a social life to match. The name of this brew reminded me of one of the modern classics that I tackled in my younger days. Could it be Heller giving us hell in “Catch 22”? Or Burgess with his colourful “Clockwork Orange”? Perhaps Capote...
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...
This beer should be ejected from the space ship. You would think a new brew from Refined Fool Brewing would be a decent quaff as I've had some very good beers from there in the past. I looked past the cat in a space suit on the can and focused on "Hazy IPA". I was in...
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...
Pulling a Chilly Tins out of the chilly bin* for a nighttime armchair trip to New Zealand via Burlington. Following a growing brewer love affair with New Zealand hops, Nickel Brook has three different ones stuffed into this crafty kiwi crusher. Will this be a South...
Baseball All Star break, no CFL game, too early for hockey or basketball or NFL, not a weekend so no golf tourneys, and no rugby games either although not really a go to sport for me. I guess it’s movie night at the cottage. Suds and cinema so to speak. So what will...
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...
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...
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...
