At the big Mining4Beer event at Scotland Yard in downtown Hogtown and the Sunday night socialites drank up $20,000 in the first 90 minutes. And then the wheels came off and the fun began. The big mining convention in Toronto * is a thirsty affair, with pitchers and...
Go hard or go home. No, it’s not an ad for Viagra, but things are looking up because it is a Rainhard Imperial stout, Hearts Collide. A love song from Green Day? What do you think I am, some kind of American idiot? * Not hard hearted, hearts collide is the ultimate...
Here we have an interesting pale ale to enjoy, and not a moment too soon. It’s certainly not spur of the moment, but it may be momentous, perhaps even a defining moment. But since it is Old Flame and it is Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer most likely it will be a senior...
In the land of McDavid, Edmonton that is, although after the 4 Nations win Canada is probably the land of McDavid. At least until the next Oilers Leafs game. I’ve always been a buy local kinda guy, especially when it comes to beer. Shout out to O’Byrnes Irish Pub for...

A few years ago, one of my granddaughters was working on a project for school. The topic, Harriet Tubman. A February project, part of the Black History month curriculum at the school. I had heard about Harriet Tubman and the underground railroad before but didn’t...
Memento Mori sounded like a souvenir from New Zealand to me,* but I figured that probably wasn’t right. I checked with the COMDB Translation Department and in their short and not so sweet manner they said “We don’t do Latin”. Latin, eh. Time to give our egghead Editor...
Another toast to Thursday with the Crownsmen and the beer of the hour is Fernie’s What the Huck, a wheat based ale with huckleberry and blueberry to boot. I’m no huckleberry hound or a backwoods blueberry and I’d rather have wheat in my breakfast cereal than my beer....
After eating a steak with 5 roofies in it, the tiger in the movie The Hangover was definitely lazy.* The tiger was nicknamed “Tyson” and the story line is art imitating life. Mike Tyson actually owned three tigers cubs at one time and kept one until adulthood. He had...
