Black Gold, Texas Tea

Black Gold, Texas Tea

How about a glass of 10W30? * Sounds like a drunken dare from some redneck motorheads. A can of that bubblin’ crude that made Uncle Jed a millionaire, black gold, Texas tea. ** No, it’s just what Neustadt Springs has named their dark ale. I must admit, the name...

We Are Playing Duck Duck Joose and This Beer Is It

We Are Playing Duck Duck Joose and This Beer Is It

Like Pass-Out or Strip Poker, Duck Duck Joose is not a game for kids.* What it is is some semi-serious suds from Kame & Kettle. We have had ducks visit the most spectacular bird feeder in the world, and we have flown with Double Ducks in our day. Not to limit...

Greetings from the Island, Wish You Were Beer

Showtime! Jerrod’s Top 5, Rory’s winners and losers and the COMDB secrets to success. The Crownsmen pack more into a one hour show than anyone else could pack into a half hour show! And in what can only be described as the most uplifting part of the show, Jerrod told...

New Age Bever-Age

New Age Bever-Age

Nudge but don’t bang, feel the ball, finesse those flippers. That’s not game theory, that’s fact derived from hundreds of quarters fed into Flash. But once Space Invaders, Asteroids, Galaga and Centipede and all those other 1980 “new age” games hit the bars, that was...

Redemption

Redemption

Our last experience with Paulaner was an alcohol-free brew and let’s put it this way, the rating wasn’t much higher than the ABV. * So this is their opportunity for COMDB redemption. We figured the German brewer has been at it since 1634 so by now I think they should...

A Double Exposure Exposé

I’m doing double duty tonight with some big numbers from Cowbell. At 8% and 55IBU this is every bit a double in more ways than one, as in two, which I guess is what you would expect from a double, isn’t it? Thank goodness it’s not a daily double, that would be double...

The Wait is Over

The Wait is Over

No reservation, no problem. A spur of the moment dinner out with the Missus and one of her favourites is The Grist. Some breweries have restaurants. The Grist is a restaurant that has a brewery, and a pretty good one from my past samplings. Quickly seated and settled...

A Family Friendly Frontibus

My favourite sister-in-law has me singing “We Are Family”. * You know the song, “We are family, my sister-in-law got beer for me.” If you have a sister-in-law that brought you beer you can sing along with me. Perhaps more explanation is needed. Consider this texting...

Corn and Sugar and a Beer that Tastes Like Beer

Lights, Camera, Action, it’s The Crownsmen Show, brought to you by Cranky Old Men Drinking Beer. I joined Jerrod and Gaudy, but for this show we were missing Rory! Well, missing is probably too strong a word, let’s just say Rory wasn’t there. Although Rory’s financial...
