It’s not The Clash,* but London is calling to tell us about their Organic 4PM Sunset suds, their oatmeal stout. And the COM are here to answer the call. So there’s a Sunset going down (sounds redundant) and my train of thought stopped at a station called Sundown, a...
I always appreciate a little wordsmithing so when this Karmageddon brew caught my eye I did a double take. I fancy myself a bit of a smith of the words as well so I got to thinking while I was drinking.* How about Pharmageddon, which is when the missus goes to the...
Us COM find ourselves out in left field quite often these days, with something ice cold on hold. 7 times to date to be exact, bird watching, and reminiscing about Mr.Oktober putting on a laser show. Enough baseball lingo, spring training is still a month away. * But...
A bit of a puzzle, this one. The green and gold on the can label are pretty unusual in the beer line up. The picture has a couple of birds - oh wait, they're Toucans,* drinking two cans of beer. That could be a piece of the puzzle. This is an oatmeal stout from Prince...
“Cause baby, now we got bad blood, You know it used to be mad love.”* I avoided some obvious ill vampire jokes because I figured a blatant and shameless Taylor Swift reference would boost our website viewership. I mean look what it did for the NFL.** Now about this...
Square meals, good idea. Square deals, good idea. Square wheels, bad idea. Unless it's an IPA from the Town team. Another Town going down, this time their signature IPA, a big deal wheel. It’s a one and done night so no matter how this tasting turns out,* there...
Snowed in at the cottage so another fireside chat but this one is with the Ghost of Oktoberfest Past! GOP: Cranky old man, why do you drink these fruit and vegetable beers and forsake the spirits of Oktoberfest past? COM: Haven’t you heard the saying variety is the...
This brew brought to mind Neil Young’s album Harvest,* then I recalled Harvest Crunch.** Then as my mind continued to wander and wonder, I thought about the video game Harvest Moon that my kids played incessantly back in the day. But never, ever did I think about...
The bird is the word today, as in I’m tippin’ the bird with a real Czech lager from the Heinnie crowd. They say a golden pheasant in a field is good luck, the sign of a bountiful harvest. Of course, a flock of geese in a field is the sign of a golf course, so watch...
We haven’t visited Ace Hill* in a while but I recall their pilsner knocked it out of the park. A Vienna Lager is about as close as you can get to Amber without incurring an harassment charge,** and those of you who know me, know I love me an amber. So I had high hopes...
