Dorothy said it best, there’s no place like home. After a mini armchair Eurotour I’m back just in time to celebrate our great country. Happy Canada Day Eh! I’ve done Canada from coast to coast to coast and many pints in between. Canada is big and one way we show it is...
Winding up our armchair brew tour of Europe and looking forward to getting home to celebrate Canada Day. But before we do, we have one more Euro brew to do. And it’s no surprise to anyone that we would end up in Munich Germany, Oktoberfest central, with a brewer who...
The armchair COMDB Euro trip and tip brew tour continues, and it should be no surprise that at some point we’d end up in Italy. After all, they say all roads lead to Rome. Except of course for that well paved and multilane highway to hell which despite the heavy toll...
From Sweden to Poland and now we find ourselves in Spain on this COMDB European armchair tour. * Barcelona, home of Sagrada Familia Basilica, a church that’s been under construction for over 140 years, for heaven’s sakes. When asked about why the construction was...

When I talk to brewers their chief beef about reviewers is when we rate a beer poorly just because we don’t like the genre. Wheat’s not a treat, so even though it’s great it doesn’t rate. A blueberry brew may be too good to be true, but if It’s not your pour it gets a...
How do you escape a thirst trap? I thought the answer was obvious, you drink you’re way out. But these days nothing is at it seems, is it. Apparently a “thirst trap” has more to do with the half-clothed gentleman pictured on the can (the beer can, not the toilet)...
A visit to Lake of Bays Barrelhouse, like the stack of library books on my desk, was long overdue. With such an interesting selection of brews from which to choose for you know who to review, I decided to consult the definitive guide on how to pour and score, The...
