Port Perry, named after settler Peter Perry (not Katy Perry) and birth place of many famous people whose names I don’t recognize (not Katy Perry),* is also home to Canada’s oldest still standing grain elevator.** And of course, our brewer of the hour, Old Flame...
First of all, I know it’s not the first day of spring. But it seemed like a good spring time brew to go with an Easter weekend. That religious holiday with chocolate eggs and an imaginary rabbit delivering them. Not sure what symbolism is going on here, but when it...
I was mighty thirsty so the timing was right for a frosty cold thirst-quenching easy drinking big swig Bob’s your uncle and Betty’s your aunt brewski, and this Mighty Eagle seemed like the can that could. As American as a Canadian beer can get, which hopefully isn’t...
This Session IPA was reviewed by our most prolific Cranky reviewer RS. That shouldn't come as surprise as RS has like a 1000 reviews to his credit. No seriously, he is closing in on 1000 and shows no sign of slowing down! So of course he has tried the Hail Mary from...
If I’m talking about high grade it’s more likely in reference to motor oil than my academic achievements. Fonger could be at the corner store (in Canada any corner these days) shopping for some high grade. Miners like high grade but aren’t too fond of high grading.*...
I remember as a kid the sci-fi story that got me hooked on the genre was “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury. The ending blew me away!* It was our first introduction as a society to the butterfly effect.** Bench has named this beer the Ripple Effect, not referring to...
Checking in to Motel California and this is no California common accommodations. Our West Coast host with the most toast is a Pilsner. But this isn’t a New York or a Boston or a St.John’s or a St.John Pilsner, this is a Pilsner of the West Coast variety.* A West Coast...
Murdoch Mystery beer? I am always suspect of a brew named to ride to coattails of a popular TV show, or even a CBC TV show. Although come to think of it I was skeptical about Puppers and it was a pretty damn good brew. But on Kilkenny they are drinking Puppers beer so...
I’m a big Stockyards fan. Their Festbier was the best beer. Their Missed Calls is not to be missed. And their Iron Horse IPA kept rollin’ all night long. All super suds status. So when I saw a new brew of theirs on the shelf, I packed that puppy into my 8 pack and...
Another defining moment in COMDB history! The standard definition of dank is unpleasantly moist or humid. The word is also used to describe high quality marijuana as in “That’s some dank weed you’ve got there, man.” Not coincidentally, some of the hops used in IPAs...
