Fools On Ice

Fools On Ice

There could well be more concussions at amateur curling bonspiels across Canada then in all the NHL and NFL combined. * Because when hurrying hard results in an ass over tea kettle slider side up hello ice moment and that unprotected noggin meets the rink with a sound...

Wes Was Right

Wes Was Right

Wes Anfo is an Iggy Pop and Evanescence fan so we know his musical tastes are impeccable. But when it comes to baseball his support of the Detroit Tigers is somewhat questionable. How about how he chooses his brews? His super suds rating of a Clausthaler Original...

Small Batch Bananarama Brewski

Small Batch Bananarama Brewski

Oktoberfest in November, and the headliner is Bananarama.* It’s the fest that never ends, or we wish it didn’t anyway. One group that wishes it was done and dusted is the COMDB Translation Department. They have neatly folded and packed their lederhosen away until next...

A Horse of a Different Colour

You know when you expect something to be something but it turns out being something else? That something can be a good thing or a bad thing, but here’s the thing. I expected a lean mean Philippine horse kick ass brew and I got a creamy malty slow going Belgian...

I’ll Have an Apocalypse Now

I’ll Have an Apocalypse Now

Me: Hey COMDB Translation Department, what does “Les Quatre Surfeurs de L’Apocalypso” translate to. COMDB Translation Department: Cool, it’s “The four surfers of the apocalypse”. Me: I don’t think that’s right. Surfers? Don’t you mean the four horsemen of the...

Dirty Ol’ Pilly Cleans Up Nice

Dirty Ol’ Pilly Cleans Up Nice

Consumer activism in action! We had previously reviewed this Mascot pilsner * and had torn them a second one for them succumbing to the Americanized spellcheck. They described their beer as “flavorful” rather than the Canadian spelling of “flavourful”. This new and we...
