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...
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...
The Department of Cleanliness has deemed me Lord of the coffee table rings, but as far as Tolkien’s tome goes, I’m no expert. I did visit Bilbo, Newfoundland once. Or wait, no, that was Dildo, Newfoundland. I may not have an eye for Mordor but the fine folks at...
There’s a fog covering Thunder Bay like an uncreative two-tone quilt of grey and the sleeping giant has hit the snooze button and isn’t getting up today. But if Arthur thinks his port is foggy, he should check out The Grand Banks. Almost as foggy as the morning after...

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...
Silversmith’s tribute to our veterans is this Red Ale, Hill 145. The can is adorned with a rendering of the Canadian National Vimy Memorial which stands in northern France, commemorating the sacrifice of Canadians in World War 1. Hill 145 was the highest piece of land...
