Not sure what the trouble is in the fields. Scarecrow down? A swarm of locusts of biblical proportions? Beau’s super charged tractor tearing up the crops? Or worst of all, the fields as parched as JT after a dry February? So far this year Boston is having trouble in...
Way back in the day, almost half a century ago, when the missus and I first got hitched we did reside in a doublewide, up on blocks behind the Red Dog Inn. Newlyweds rockin’ the doublewide. Those were our salad days* and we thought we were living pretty high on the...
Picture a southern seaside Cyprus sunset with the waves lapping at the Island shore and a gentle Mediterranean breeze washing away the stresses of the day. A waiter in white, the model of service and efficiency, asks “Is there anything you would like, Sir” and when he...
Here at COMDB were are an equal opportunity drinker when it comes to beer, we try them all, at least once. The Gose genre* is not completely unfamiliar to us. We have told a few Gose stories around the old campfire, some of them pretty scary I must admit. In some ways...

Back in la belle province, at least in spirit, and spirits. St. Ambroise, the patron Saint of …. you guessed it… beekeepers, is the namesake of Montreal based brewer McAuslan’s award winning lineup of brews. So, what do beers, bees, and beatitudes have in common you...
I had a chance to visit Powerhouse Brewery in London, Ontario on the weekend and it was terrific. The brewery is in a former Kellogg plant and the transformation from Corn Flakes to beer is enough to bring a tear to a cranky old eye. From a distance it still has the...
I was so looking forward to this Roxy Roller* and thought it might turn some heads tonight. I had visited Counterpart and even took a picture of the counter, well part of it anyway. The people there were very nice and it looked like a great place to partake in a brew...
If Todd is an absolute beauty the picture on the can doesn’t do him justice. He looks to me more like a Yellow Submarine stowaway than a movie star. Those Refined Fools have whipped up this brew to pay tribute to Todd’s dashing and debonair disposition. Now I find...
