A Politically Motivated Deja Brew Review

A Politically Motivated Deja Brew Review

Just like a Ghostbusters sequel, this brew seemed hauntingly familiar. So just like the goose, I took a gander, checking out our COMDB archives for a Blood Brothers deja brew review. It appears that there may be some politically motivated rebranding afoot. I was never...

Fudgy For Sure

Fudgy For Sure

After an exhilarating day of white-water rafting there’s nothing quite like a nitro loco cocoa stout. Of course I wouldn’t know about any of that, I’m a two-motor boater of the wet the net variety, paddling is so passe. But perhaps this super sweet fudgy brownie brew...

Working on My Light Moves

Working on My Light Moves

Last night me and Bob* were “Workin’ on a Light Moves, Trying some Flying Monkeys brews, Workin’ on a Light Moves.”  Just to be clear, Seger was on the turntable, not here in person, and as far as drinking goes I think he's been dry since 2019, which coincidentally...

Our First and Last Yard Sale (not including this one)

Our First and Last Yard Sale (not including this one)

I remember our first and last yard sale. The Department of Efficiency had decided to get rid of anything around the house that wasn’t serving a useful purpose. Luckily I wasn’t retired at the time. That Saturday morning I was taking my favourite son to hockey practice...

Tropical Lake (Lac)

Tropical Lake (Lac)

I have a passing knowledge of French (I passed grade 10 French) and a tropical lake sounds a lot more inviting than the lake I’m looking at right now which is frozen as stiff as a stone statue. And believe me, decorum prevented me from using some less suitable similes...

Black as Night Sweet as Sin

Black as Night Sweet as Sin

I thought a bricks and mortar baseball reference might be the Wrigley Field ivy covered brick outfield wall, but there’s no baseball banter with this brew. Left Field, our favourite ballpark brewers are busy rhyming up a Bricks and Mortar Coffee Porter for us and I...

Into the Lime Lite Again

Into the Lime Lite Again

While JT is quaffing crafts and cavorting in Costa Rica, someone has to hold down the fort and do a brew review, or two. Ok, a few. So, I find myself thrust into the lime lite once again.* Shawn Ampersand Ed treated us to a cherries jubilee brewski previously, now...

The Foam was Doing Double Duty

The Foam was Doing Double Duty

Time for another daily double but I wouldn’t bet on the Exacta this time around. Double is where the similarities end. From a Doppelbock Dunkel to a Double Dry Hopped IPA. Kloster Andechs is from a centuries old Bavarian monastery, while Fuerst Wiacek is 2016 founded...

A Pint of Pleasure for the Body and Soul

A Pint of Pleasure for the Body and Soul

The COMDB translation department loves German, or as they like to say “Wir lieben Deutsch”.  They tells us that “Kloster” means monastery, and Andechs slogan “Genuβ für Leib & Seele” translates to “Pleasure for the body and soul”. Can this dark double bock live up...

This Exacta is a Sure Bet

This Exacta is a Sure Bet

My horse sense is limited to say the least. However, I have attended a few triple crown races. No, not in the colonies heaven forbid. The St Ledger Stakes in Doncaster, UK of course. * Ladies with big hats, gentlemen with ties and ascots. I found out that a longshot...
