Miami Nice or Miami Vice?
It’s art appreciation day at COMDB with this Miami NEIPA. And we certainly do appreciate Collective Arts and their contribution to the cranky old brew review gallery. There was Peak to Peak which made a valid point (or two). Then there was Chroma Chromatic, a...
No Sun, but Shade
Seems like it's been raining for three days solid. If I wanted this weather I would have moved to Vancouver years ago. Farmer Steve might be welcoming this drenching, but not me. Time to check out the beer fridge and see what temptations are lurking there. Shade, a...
Savoir Faire Bear
Is this bring your Ursus Maritimus to the bar week or what? After an Eisbӓren bock bear, now we are sampling a Boréale big white bear beer. Then there was that polar park pilsner we partook in. Or that high flying great white in flight from Maverick. I could go on an...
Less is Not More
A brunch brew for the Crownsmen crew on another thirsty Thursday show. We didn’t solve many of the pressing problems the world faces today, unlike our usual shows. Our keen observations, amazing insights and implementable solutions are usually driven by 5% plus...
Sober Suds Sampling under the Auspice of the Department of Morality
I have received quite a few requests to review non-alcoholic beers. You may not be surprised to learn that all of them have come from the Department of Morality, that being my much better half. Happy spouse, happy house, is the way the politically correct saying goes....
An East and West Taste Test
"Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" so said Rudyard Kipling * long before Muskoka brewed this bicoastal toast to East and West. The brew name reminded me of Howard Hughes, or is that Hugh Hefner? I always get those two confused. One...
High End from Midtown
I was preparing for that reliable sign of spring arrival. Not the Cherry blossom festival. Not the tune-up on the lawn mower. No, this is the seasonal Toronto Maple Leaf disintegration in the Stanley Cup playoffs. There is always a glimmer of hope and I wanted a good...
Bock Bear
The COMDB Translation department tell us that an Eisbӓren is a Polar bear. I've seen browns and blacks in the wild (if you want to call my trailer porch or my backyard the wild) but I've only ever seen a polar bear doing its sad slow to and fro nowhere to go walk at...
Laker at Last
Farmer Steve is so cheap he's free, so when he brings a case of Laker to the party that tells you something. The beer store calls it a " value priced" beer. Waterloo Brewing, * the pour the boar brewers, are also the Laker maker, but keep the brands separate. What I...
