Me and Knopfler, just two twistin’ fools twisting by the pool. But we’re in no dire straits, just chillin’. * Time for a dip sans chips, so I swim a few widths. After such strenuous physical activity it’s time to hydrate with an adult beverage. Lazy Hazy? Could be...
Some have said that timing is everything, other say timing is the only thing. * The debate rages on, but most would agree that timing is something. When it comes to us cranky old men we say anytime is beer time and that summertime is Mexican lager time. Maize in the...
Annie and Dave shared some sweet dreams with us. Steven and Joe told us to dream on. Michelle and Mama Cass were way down in California dreamin’ up a storm. But it was Dr. Frank-N-Furter who probably best summed it up when he said, “Don’t dream it, be it.” * Early in...
From Farmer Steve’s Nova Scotian pilgrimage we move West to la Belle Province with a Belle Gueule Pilsner from Les Brasseurs RJ out of Montreal. Despite my passing knowledge of the French Language * I am contractually obliged to engage with the sometimes cryptic,...
Editor’s Comment: Farmer Steve is on an East Coast tour with a pit stop in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Ever devout, he stopped to worship at the local church, only to discover that it was a brewery for heaven’s sakes. FS: Stopped in at The Church Brewery, where beer is...

Cruising the canal on the old V-Twin. Playing catch with the grandson. Searing steaks on the backyard BBQ, with the occasional flambe flank. As per the COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing we know that well done is well done. What’s missing from this seemingly...
Farmer Steve tells us a little DAB’ll do ya’. I’m here to tell you that a lot of DAB may do ya’ in. The Maibock 7% solution left some questions unanswered so we are back again with an 8% DAB Ur-Bock kickin’ ass and takin’ names. After a Mai-Bock I thought maybe Ur was...
Summer stout season is almost here, time to kick things off early with a soon to be summertime stout. And not a moment too soon after a week that included a less than the best amber, a lackadaisical lager, a far too sober carpenter, and a bitter bear. * It seemed...
Our thirsty Thursday was more like a freaky Friday. The day before Friday the 13th and this Crownsmen Show might as well have been the next day for all the luck we had. More technical issues than a ketamine fueled SpaceX launch, but thanks to our always on the ball...
