Porcine Parade

Porcine Parade

Cruising the canal on the old V-Twin. Playing catch with the grandson. Searing steaks on the backyard BBQ, with the occasional flambe flank. As per the COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing we know that well done is well done. What’s missing from this seemingly...

Malt Assault Survival Guide

Malt Assault Survival Guide

Farmer Steve tells us a little DAB’ll do ya’. I’m here to tell you that a lot of DAB may do ya’ in. The Maibock 7% solution left some questions unanswered so we are back again with an 8% DAB Ur-Bock kickin’ ass and takin’ names. After a Mai-Bock I thought maybe Ur was...

A Soon to be Summertime Stout

A Soon to be Summertime Stout

Summer stout season is almost here, time to kick things off early with a soon to be summertime stout. And not a moment too soon after a week that included a less than the best amber, a lackadaisical lager, a far too sober carpenter, and a bitter bear. *  It seemed...

Saline Maritime Canine

Saline Maritime Canine

Our thirsty Thursday was more like a freaky Friday. The day before Friday the 13th and this Crownsmen Show might as well have been the next day for all the luck we had. More technical issues than a ketamine fueled SpaceX launch, but thanks to our always on the ball...

Concrete Blonde

Concrete Blonde

This review will be short but not sweet. Last night I wished this concrete blonde was still in Hollywood instead of in my glass. * Believe me, I have nothing against non-alcoholic beverages…. that taste like they are supposed to. There is a time and a place for them....

Around the Bend

Around the Bend

Bend the universe sounds like a bit of a stretch goal to me. Bending the rules tends to be more my speed.  In fact, a real stretch goal for me is to bend my knees every morning when I get up. But I’ve seen the Northern Lights on enough occasions to know that the...

An Almost but Not Quite Everywhere Beer

An Almost but Not Quite Everywhere Beer

We quickly dispatched an Instant Crush, we were amazed by a Wonder Crush, and we tapped out with The Crusher. We have also sampled a few Frank brews, Their Old Comrade gave us a red scare, then we were able to relax with their smooth Hoperator, both achieving super...
