Our Editor throws more shade than a streetlamp at midnight.* Me, I’m a live and let live kinda guy, a mellow fellow. The old duck once told me that if I didn’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. That philosophy is sometimes a bit of a challenge when...
Another candidate for a COMDB beer naming party. An IPA, that’s some pretty lazy beer naming if you ask me. With over 170,000 words in the English language you would think you might be able to string together an adjective and a noun at least and come up with...
A Mining4Beer event, you had me at free beer.** The only beer at the bar I hadn’t tried was a Sol. Sol here goes. The COMDB translation department were hard at work on this one, doing some Sol searching. The ever belligerent but occasionally efficient translation team...
A recent trip to the U.S. gave me the opportunity to explore some new beers that I haven't seen before. That can be good and bad - unfortunately in this case it landed mainly on the bad side. It seemed promising enough, a pale lager brewed by Von Trapp Brewing out of...

Touring the Muskokas with Farmer Steve and his progenies, we had to check out the Largest Beer Spa in the World. Much to our surprise, early October and the place was as busy as an Apple Store on Black Friday. What’s no surprise is that our Muskoka tour ended up at...
Ah yes, tiny cars with friends. Fond memories of the COMDB AGM with RA as the designated driver, an expression you sure don’t hear too often. Driving that tiny car in search of my last drive. This is another Refined Fool’s Summer Beer League special, brewed...
Should I be worried that I don’t worry enough? According to Bobby Ferrin and Alfred E. Neuman life is too short to worry away the day.* Brock Street Brewing seems to espouse the same philosophy with their Don’t Worry Be Hoppy. At first, I thought this brew was an IPA...
After an old comrade of Frank gave us a red scare, now Frank is encouraging us to relax and enjoy a smooth Hoperator.** Relax, take a load off, chill and swill. Some sound advice if I do say so myself. According to the can this beer is the result of “nice guys...
