Ah yes, good old Major Tom. I remember when the song Space Oddity came out on the radio, I thought it was a weird novelty song. I remember being at a house party a few years later and hearing his Ziggy Stardust album (back when people played albums at house parties)...
I thought this brew (and corresponding brew pic*) might be a good segue into a shout out to my old buddy Crazy George who goes down to Burning Man each year in Nevada.** What started out as a bon fire vigil on Baker Beach has become a 70,000 strange and strong event...
“Think the rain will hurt the rhubarb? Not if it’s in my beer it won’t.” * Rhubarb, the vegetable that thinks it’s a fruit. Meanwhile that useless disgusting orange orb of a fruit called the pumpkin thinks it’s a vegetable. Yes, it's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up...
I parlez-vous a bit but Japanese is Greek to me so it was time for the COMDB translation department to do their thing. They tell me that “yabai” means “terrible” in Japanese. I called them on that one, risking their wrath, but I figured that couldn’t be right. I said...
Over dinner at the COMDB AGM and I thought I would get a review in. Who says multi-tasking isn’t productive?* I was intrigued by Sawdust City’s new beer San Diego Dreamin’. Although it appears to be an obvious reference, or play on, the song title “California...
Draft Anderson Cream Ale vs Anderson Cream Ale, which will prevail? Beer war! Which one will "tap" out? Usually I quaff and take notes, last night’s brew, today’s review. But I am typing while tasting tonight since tomorrow is none other than the third annual COMDB...
Farmer Steve will be the first to tell you that cheap is good, but not good enough. Cheap beer is good only if the beer is good. The Yup!Beer claim to fame is cheap beer. But good too. Yup!Lite achieved the COMDB Super Suds status seal of approval. Their latest...
JT asked me “what the hell is a White IPA?”. Fair question. I’ve sampled a few in my day, but just like you, I had to look it up. It seems that a white IPA is a mix and match of wheat beer with IPA, each in some shape or form. We have sampled a few whites to date....
On the lake again this evening, feeding the fishes. No fat bass-tards landed, but a couple of little bass-turds that got thrown back as quickly as an icy IPA after mowing the lawn on a walk-on-the-sun scorcher of an afternoon. Successful or not, every fishing...
Out on the lake, casting my line into a late summer sunset that had me reeling. But the fish were on to me. A couple of bites but the hook never took so the net was never wet. No fat bass-tards tonight. So, it was time to dock the boat and head to the beer fridge for...
