Time for another defining moment for COMDB. “Classic” is defined as “being judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind”. We have featured a number of classics in our reviews. A bootleg album with a misspelled “Starway to...
When two of our favourite brewers get together it calls for a collaboration celebration. If you are thinking to yourself, “what’s the big deal, it’s just a pilsner” I think you need to rethink your thinking. This is no ordinary, typical, run of the mill, common place...
Une letter d’amour from the brewer. Cardinal tell us that this brew is a love letter to l’houblon Cascade. You know you’re a serious beer lover when you are writing (or brewing as the case may be) love letters to hops. But not just any hop. Cascade hops * started the...

"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" so said Rudyard Kipling * long before Muskoka brewed this bicoastal toast to East and West. The brew name reminded me of Howard Hughes, or is that Hugh Hefner? I always get those two confused. One...
