It is Rocket Science

It is Rocket Science

I've heard the expression "it's not rocket science " too many times* to explain something I really don't understand, to make me wonder what really is rocket science.  It turns out that rocket science is the specialized field of aerospace engineering concerned with the...

An Honest Brew gets an Honest Review

An Honest Brew gets an Honest Review

Finally, after all these full of shit lying lagers, an Honest one. Of course, if the marketing mavens have named this beer "honest" even Alanis Morissette would call that ironic.* Let's hope the brew master named this one. Just to be clear, all our COMDB reviews are...

A Beaver Brewed Beer

A Beaver Brewed Beer

The majestic lion, the ferocious tiger, the imposing bear. National animals that had Dorothy, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow shaking in their boots, or ruby slippers, as the case may be. * Certainly worthy mammals to adorn any coat of arms and represent the strength of...

Something Dark This Way Comes

Something Dark This Way Comes

I had a hankerin’ to drink curiously, and being a chartered member of the curious club, I know there’s no better beer to do that with than a Something in the Water curious craft. An uncommon K-town common per say? A Painted Lake Peach perhaps? A Tortuga the tortoise...

Working on a Dream *

Working on a Dream *

Willy Loman had a dream, but eventually he found out that the American dream wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. The Boss wondered “is a dream a lie if it don’t come true, or is it something worse”. * Quite an ominous introduction to Counterpart’s Dream Pale Ale. A...
