We’ve sampled a few Nordic Pales before. Some with Scandnavian hops, others with Scanavian yeasts, but what the hell are Scandinaviam botanicals? And why does spell check not correct me when I spell Scandavian wrong every time? Beau’s gives us an answer to the first...
Kicking off COMDB Muskoka Oktober festing weekend with a visit to Clear Lake. Six Cranky Old Men, five festers ordering draft, and one ab-stoner who did not go unnoticed by the very accommodating bar staff. “Will you be having a beverage with your meal” was a...
Get It In Y’a Ohh Yeahh! The rallying cry of colonoscopy techs everywhere. If you are an old man better heed the words of Larry the Cable Guy and just git er done. During my last procedure, the young tech said he decided to have the procedure done himself just to see...
Picture a congregation of cranky old men discussing the merits of steel cut versus packaged oatmeal, with each statement receiving a knowing nod of approval from the other cranky old men. The centuries of life experience in the room focused on healthy breakfast fare....

A Monday Mocha Stout to usher in stout season. Perth (Ontario, not Australia)* may not be a big city but Perth Brewery is a brewing big time with some top notch brews and has already charted a few hits on the COM super suds hit parade. So let’s fire up the mocha stout...
Another K-Town Common, this time from Kamloops. Mining and the railroads combine with the scenery in this Southern BC town where everything is extra-ordinary, and nothing is common except this beer. Red Collar has me quaffing a Kamloops Common cold craft while...
