Another Frontibus in front of us, right from the Gaspe coast to my end table coaster. Our COMDB Translation Department made quick work of this one. L’Amiral is “The Admiral” in English. Now if you’re thinking about Horatio Nelson or that old joke about the “rear”...
Is Avon selling beer door to door now? * No, it’s not the Avon Lady pressing that perfectly painted perfumed pointing finger on your doorbell peddling a new product. It’s The Avon Ale, from those crafters of curious crafts, the Something in the Water crew. What the...
This isn’t the first pint of paradise we have partaken in. We found Paradise Lost and sampled Newfoundland’s provincial bird,* the Space Puffin straight out of Paradise NL. This Clifford pint of paradise is artificial, and that’s official, but not superficial. We...
Editor’s Comment: When we got a postcard “Wish you were beer” we knew our intrepid international man of mystery, JT, was on the road again. This trip finds him in Budapest, Hungary. Budapest has a myriad of must see spots including the stunning architecture of the...

Our Cranky Old trick or treat countdown has us seeing ghosts. Back in the day a ghost was an apparition, a past person now dead but restless, manifesting to the living, deceased but not desisting, causing havoc and in general scaring the bejesus out of those of us...
Kicking off the Cranky Old trick or treat countdown with the alliterative craft collab combo of Bellwoods & Blood Brothers. I’m doubling down and downing a double with a Goblin’s Trill. Will it be the trill of victory or the agony of defeat? * Both brewers were...
A James Brown dance move, a starchy supper staple, and now a beer! * Once thought extinct by aleontologists, the rarely brewed and not oft quaffed potato lager is ready for a big-time comeback courtesy of Sawdust City. The COMDB translation department quickly told us...
