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...
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...
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...

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...
Martin Luther King, Elvis, BB King, King Kong, Charles. There are many that are well deserving to wear the title King. This brew isn’t one of them. But before I get ahead of myself. Long drive yesterday and at one point I got stuck in a geriatric convoy with a bunch...
A windswept day on the lake for sure, a storm brewin’ and stewin’. Here comes a downpour that would make old Noah nervous. Complete with audio and visual, the thunder and lightning means the fish will have to wait. Let’s see what the cottage library has on the shelf....
A lazy hazy laid back sun drenched and bake day at the lake. After a burnt bird BBQ, out on the lake casting a line and wetting the net, then a twilight boat ride to nowhere in particular. No grinding just unwinding, powering down and not on charge. In energy saving...
