From Bernardus to Krampus, no muss, no fuss, we're putting the "us" in Christmus. Our COMDB Christmas countdown is down for the count, as in ground zero, the big day. Sleeping Giant tell us that this Krampus* is a “contemplative sipper after a long night of...
When the Irish came up with the expression “Saints preserve us” I don’t think they were thinking of being preserved in a St. Bernardus 10% alcohol solution, then again it was the Irish. Despite the sky high ABV a Christmas Eve ale with the name Christmas Ale seemed...
It’s the COMDB Christmas countdown and the good shepherds are watching their flocks by night, chilly and all quite star struck I might add. The bad shepherds can be found downtown at the Bethlehem’s Manger Ranger Bar and Grill, cozy by the fire and quaffing a cold...
The Bible tells us “the truth will set you free” [1] but I don’t think Mary and Joseph ever had young Jesus ask them if Santa was real. Jesus knew that the presents he was getting for his birthday were coming from his Mom and Dad, or Step-Dad as the case may be. Back...
The COMDB Christmas countdown continues with a pit stop at the Ports. Perhaps a more Christmassy pub could probably be found, but this is the only pub where I’ll find my old buddy Rick. Still it’s festive enough for me, with the Rudolph red nosed regulars, and there...

December is the big birthday month. That’s right, Farmer Steve and Fonger both born on the same December day. Happy beer day boys, or in Fonger’s case happy bong day. JT calls them brothers from another mother. I insulted both of them by asking if they were identical...
In 67 the Beatles were headed to Strawberry Fields and not just for a quick stop or a visit, but forever. Forever is quite a long time, especially forever together, and far longer than the Beatles were together. * It seems like forever is not in the cards for New...
The Grist is wondering where to begin. Sinek, in one of the business books featured in our article on Books You Should Read While Doing Your Business, tells us to start with why. Why? I’m not sure but according to Sinek just by asking that question we’re off to a good...
Bruno was livin’ it up in the city, Frank was waking up in a city that never sleeps, and those good ol’ boys from Foghat were fools for the city. Me, I’m pouring a heapin’ helpin’ of Full City Coffee Porter, and looking forward to a tasty toasty quaff. After my pour a...
