We have been “at sea”* often in these reviews and once again we find ourselves with a nautical themed New England IPA. As far as New England goes, that being from Maine to Connecticut, I tend to think of it as a sea faring region. How land locked Vermont ever got into...
I was trying to add some culture to my grandkids lives and started reading the Robert Louis Stevenson classic “Treasure Island” to them. Although there were pirates, fighting, gruesome deaths and treasure, unfortunately there were no minions or farting animals in the...
I put the term Weissbräu to the COMDB translation department and they promptly told me that Oktoberfest was over. After some cajoling, and explaining this was definitely not an Oktoberfest beer, I got them to assist. Although it is generally recognized that a...
I love the USA. The missus was born there, my son works there. I figure I have visited 27 states including Alaska and we love to holiday there (the USA, not Alaska). But, and you might have figured there was a “but” in the works, US TV hockey coverage sucks. I swear...

Fleetwood Mac ask us if we have any dreams we would like to sell, meanwhile Gary Wright is weaving a few of his own. Gordon Lightfoot’s broken dreams sometimes make him sad and mean, while Billy Joe Armstrong named a boulevard after his. COMDB broken dreams could well...
Editor’s Intro: Sometimes these reviews just write themselves, literally. Below is a text transcribed review by R.A. RA: I found it strong, a bitter beginning. A biting burnt espresso beginning. Milky and foamy mouthfeel. Wimpy finish. But still tasty. JT: Somebody...
These brewers and their fancy new fangled names for their brews. What the hell is a “pog” I asked myself. My research revealed much. Apparently in gaming circles pog means “a play of the game” and in Twitch speak pog means excellent, awesome or remarkable. In the...
