Is a Belgian wit a comedian from Brussels? I wish. Instead, it’s the dreaded wheat beer, not a COMDB favourite by any stretch of the taste buds. And not just any wheat, a Belgian one. But as I open my beer fridge, this beer of the month club offering is challenging me...
What’s so great about beer of the month club? Let me tell you. Beer. Another thing that is great about it is getting introduced to brewer’s like MacLean’s Ales, hailing and harkening from the half-hidden hamlet of Hanover.* They seem to be a month club staple and we...
When it comes to coffee, I like mine hotter than the hobs of hell, blistered lips be damned. Unless of course it is a coffee stout, then chill and swill is the plan. This isn’t a coffee stout though. It is a coffee dark mild, that being a dark English ale. Not just a...
Out on the lake tonight trying to catch a couple of fat bass-tards. No luck, but that’s maybe a good thing because I don’t think fat bass-tard season is open yet. Ever try visualization? It doesn’t work for fishing, unless you are visualizing not catching anything....
Cool night, a fireside ABC brew and a good book with lots more letters in it. I think it is the unauthorized biography of our Editor.* I got to wondering if anyone reads anymore or any less for that matter. Statistics show that readers read the same but non-readers...

How about a COM International Armchair brew tour to exotic Europe, with Poland’s favorite brew and snackin’ on my 4 cheese Italian Cheez-Its. A beer and a snack, my $5 a day tour of the old country. Pouring that big ol’ bottle of pale lager* into my big ol’ pale...
Took the grandkids out for dinner the other day to a high-end classy restaurant, and lo and behold it was “kid’s eat free day” at Wacky Wings. Nice surprise. How about a non-descript little can of brown that ends up being a super suds brew extrodinaire. That’s a nice...
The big ol’ tuna on the can, is fish face first in the sand, and got me wishin’, about goin’ fishin’. It isn’t Charlie the beer can tuna.* And it isn’t Charlie Horse, or a Charlie Brown quote, or a Chocolate Factory Charlie visit either, although we have had all those...
Editor’s Comment: An RA Sunday night special sip and report review. A MacKinnon farm produce pint is up for a pour and score. RA quaffing a light fruit beer, say it isn’t so! I think I just felt the earth shift on it’s axis a bit. Nothing will ever be the same again....
