On the farm everything is pretty down to earth. * You don’t give your livestock pretty names, a gelding is a gelding, no dickin’ around. So, it’s no surprise that the Anderson clan down on the homestead have some straightforward brew names. There was their cream ale,...
The word North is like the word Mother-in-law. No, not icy and cold, what I mean is it’s a relative term. If you live in the US of Eh, then Canada is the Great White North. 80% of Canadians would call anything North of Winnipeg the boondocks. * I’ve worked in the...
21 Pilots tell us that they aren’t just graffiti on a passing train, but this beer is. I tried to listen to the song from the beer can, * but the damn singer talks so fast I couldn’t get an ear in edge wise. I guess it’s one of them modern new-fangled hip-hop rap...

The teeter totter, the yin and yang of the playground. I don’t remember my childhood experiences with the teeter totter having anything to do with a fine balance, quite the opposite in fact. The lighter yin participant stranded in space until the yang participant...
An extra special bitter is an English style pale ale, trying to do the classic balancing act between malt sweet and hoppy bitterness. Here at COMDB we have quaffed a few ESB, and the genre in general has not been all that special in our eyes, or glasses. * The...
Sal and Dean lived life large on the road. Wyatt and Billy’s cross border chopper hop started and ended on the road, literally. Anthony (Man) and Pedro were rollin’ on down the road, high times on the highway. And Otter and Boon’s response to their frat house demise...
