A marshallow IPA? A craft brew concept so bizarre that it could only be the handiwork of those freaky far-out Flying Monkeys.Those flashy flyers are a COM favourite, but to be honest I always thought marshmallows were a campfire confection best served on flame and...
A light beer that technically isn’t light. * A pilsner that they say is a Euro style lager. An Off the Hop Brewhouse brew, brewed at Newark Brewery. Is anything about this brew as it seems? Is this one of Rumsfeld’s unknown unknowns? A hops and malt mystery wrapped in...
Blondie, Billy Idol, Taylor Momsen, Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Sting, and Grace Potter. All strong blondes who rock. * Ok, I know, there is a lot of peroxide in the mix but it’s rock and roll, so anything goes. Now I’ll introduce you to another strong blonde that rocks,...
First ride of the season is always something special. Fingers crossed that the battery will crank over that 28 year old V-twin. After a couple of nerve shaking backfires taking it down the road, hoping it won’t stall at the first stop light. Easy on the corners, watch...
This review is a big ol’ chocolate milk stout shout out and a tip of the tankard to MT and the good folks at Mine Connect for the donation of this fine stein to the cranky old cause. The miners tell us that 18 elements from the periodic table go into the brewing of...

Driving back from la belle province I had to do some “parle en douceur” to convince the sûreté du Québec that all the beer I was bringing back was for personal consumption. Once I identified myself as one of the cranky old men who “boire de la bière” the officer gave...
I don’t believe any of the cranky old men have ever said “I’m in the mood for a raspberry light lager”. But with one on my beer shelf front and center, daring me to throw convention to the wind, I head up the raspberry trail with Whitewater Brewing to find the best...
Let the home spun humour of the beer curious cranky old men benefit your mental health by generating a laugh or a groan, or both. All these old timer one liners (granddad jokes) are COMDB home groans, overheard at Ye Cranky Olde Inn. Cheers! “I was at the bar the...
