I am. I’m juiced about this new double from Sawdust City. First off, I love me a nice juicy peach, fresh picked from the grocery store shelf, or off a highway side fruit stand, or even off the tree would do. I also quite enjoy a good juicy IPA on the double. And who...
An endless summer sure sounds swell, but for us COM an endless Oktoberfest is hard to beat.* It’s also hard on the liver. Ok, so not exactly endless, but a little Oktoberfest in November is good for the soul. Breakwall has whipped up a Marzen for some better late than...
At the big Ontario Craft Brewers conference and attending talks and sessions but once my thirst for knowledge was slaked it was time to head for the bar so the bartender could tend to my other thirst. And a grand thirst it was, so I selected a Royal City brew to see...
End of summer, bummer. As Joni used to say “summertime is falling down and winter is closing in”. Maybe the Beach Boys envisaged an endless summer but the Guess Who had Winter all year long. * The boys of summer are done and the other day I was in fits with the...

Another Frontibus in front of us, right from the Gaspe coast to my end table coaster. Our COMDB Translation Department made quick work of this one. L’Amiral is “The Admiral” in English. Now if you’re thinking about Horatio Nelson or that old joke about the “rear”...
Is Avon selling beer door to door now? * No, it’s not the Avon Lady pressing that perfectly painted perfumed pointing finger on your doorbell peddling a new product. It’s The Avon Ale, from those crafters of curious crafts, the Something in the Water crew. What the...
This isn’t the first pint of paradise we have partaken in. We found Paradise Lost and sampled Newfoundland’s provincial bird,* the Space Puffin straight out of Paradise NL. This Clifford pint of paradise is artificial, and that’s official, but not superficial. We...
