Take it easy, slow and steady, Big Rig is haulin’ an Alpha Bomb. In addition to being a real bomb*, and the signature wrestling move* of “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown, the Alpha Bomb is a Big Rig Hazy IPA. I just poured one into my glass, being careful to avoid any...
Ever notice how some of these very common phrases just aren’t true. I mean obviously timing isn’t everything, I could be in line at Tim Hortons right behind Warren Buffet* and we get chatting about some deep macro-economic topic and next thing you know he asks me to...
Once again Gateway pays tribute to local landmarks and attractions. The Cove is a small, sheltered bay and beach in the North Bay area on the pristine waters of Trout Lake. As always, the Gateway art work on the can never ceases to intrigue. There is a humanesque...
Warming up for some Octoberfesting and got a text the other day that I couldn’t decipher but it just came to me, I know what it means now, Prost!* This brew doesn’t smell complex at all. Tastes almost watery with just a hint of malt. Good carbonation resulting in a...
You are witnessing a defining moment at COMDB! The definition of an “odd bird” is a rather unusual, strange, eccentric, or peculiar person. The name odd bird reminded me of the Jerzy Kosinski book “The Painted Bird” in which Kosinski tells us a story of a boy, while...

Big Tim (she calls him Fred) from Cape Breton is all Spruced up after working on the coal boat, according to our old friend Stompin’ Tom.** And I imagine working on the coal boat would build up a powerful thirst, I mean I’m just sitting watching the ballgame in my...
I am a fool for Refined Fool brews. Love their Party Sharks IPA, delicious. And I had a good to great streak going, even a sour super suds, so would this session hazy IPA end up in my good graces too? When you are always trying new beers it is a bit like Russian...
Maybe this should be called crazy old men drinking beer because after my last sour, and souring, experience I said never again. But here I am sampling a sour and thinking to myself never say never, again. But while sharing my first sour disaster with the province’s...
Starting off our arm chair tour of the East coast with this Island brew and it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. Wait a minute, it’s 5 o’clock here. Beer me. Flying solo on a wing and a prayer and a Gahan 1772 tall ship full of Scottish settlers*. Maybe my ship has come in? The...
