It’s another edition of the Crownsmen Show, and today’s theme was winners and losers. Jerrod had his top 5 worst engineering disasters, and as the Civil Engineers * would say, truss me on this, it was fascinating. Rory spent his time introducing us to a stock that no...
Editor’s Comment : Our Ottawa based connoisseur du crafts, JF, weighs in on this friendly Belgian beauty. Being a bit of old time stubby lover (we are talking about beer here), this one caught my eye. I’ve had a few Belgians in my day, but for sure this was my first...
White faced monster? Are they referring to the steep, narrow and rocky Couloir Extreme at Whistler? Perhaps it is the 108-foot-high Tsunami of a wave that Alo Slebir surfed late last year at Maverick’s? * No again. Apparently, the name is inspired by what they call a...
If I was rooting around in the attic and found some recipes from my great-great-grandfather, they would probably be for moose sausage or venison pie. But not John Sleeman. No, he finds all the Sleeman brewmaster recipes from the 1800’s, coincidentally just 50 years...
John and Paul told us that “it’s getting better all the time, because it can’t get no worse.” * Have you ever noticed that whenever someone says it can’t get any worse, it does? Don’t despair (it doesn’t do much good anyway), there are good people working to make...

How about those Blue Jays, first in the major league standings. Not only are they on the ball this year, they’re all over it. Bam Bam Barger’s big bat and Bo Bichette’s daily double. Every now and then a Springer dinger, and then there’s Vlad, who’s not doing half...
Jimmy and Robert reminisced and lamented “Good times, bad times, you know I’ve had my share.” But Tom had some good advice, “Remember all the good ones, forget about the bad.” * Our philosophy at COMDB is it’s always a good time to have a good time. In fact, in our...
The Crownsmen thirsty Thursday crowd decided to do a why not Wednesday show, and who am I to say no. Although come to think of it I did say no a number of times on the previous show. In business when you hear “no” it often means “not now”, but when I say it on the...
After a couple of armchair visits to Europe which included a super suds Bitburger, I find myself back in Germany, as we continue our 0 percent experiment. Paulaner, a world famous Munich brewer, has taken on the non-alcoholic brewing challenge with their Weissbier 0.0...
