Time to pack up the mule and head for the mountains? Back in day, that was the reaction to news of gold in the Klondike. Ironically, what seemed like easy money - just pick the gold out of the stream, turned out to be one of the more difficult ways to earn a living....
Part of Muskoka’s Big World Small batch series, this one is greetings from Argentina. I’ve been to a lot of places in the world but Argentina isn’t one of them, and to be honest, it’s not on the kick the bucket list either. Let’s see, what’s Argentina famous for? I...
When it comes to coffee, I like mine hotter than the hobs of hell, blistered lips be damned. Unless of course it is a coffee stout, then chill and swill is the plan. This isn’t a coffee stout though. It is a coffee dark mild, that being a dark English ale. Not just a...
Cool night, a fireside ABC brew and a good book with lots more letters in it. I think it is the unauthorized biography of our Editor.* I got to wondering if anyone reads anymore or any less for that matter. Statistics show that readers read the same but non-readers...
Took the grandkids out for dinner the other day to a high-end classy restaurant, and lo and behold it was “kid’s eat free day” at Wacky Wings. Nice surprise. How about a non-descript little can of brown that ends up being a super suds brew extrodinaire. That’s a nice...

My old buddy RA donated this brew to the cause, so it seemed like a fitting quaff to pipe in a Monday night. Second Wedge tell us that this Scottish style brew is inspired by “the sounds of bag pipes practiced at the Uxbridge legion”. I have a bit of the Scotch in my...
Belgian brews garner mixed reviews on COMDB. Rye is best served with ginger ale or cola in our presence, rye infused, casked or in any other way influenced brews have also at times been subject to a harsh reception. And nobody likes a snob. One unique thing about a...
COMDB are in the maison. The CIM convention in la belle Province to be precise, and quaffing a brew or deux with the Crownsmen dynamic duo.* Shout out to Jerrod and Rory and the whole MiningNow team. Montreal is doing it’s very best Vancouver impression. As the old...
Another visit to Fenelon Falls, home to Fenelon Falls and ….. and… let me think. Oh yea Fenelon Falls Brewing too. FFB says they are committed to “delivering one-of-a-kind experiences”. I remember going deep sea fishing once and we were all greener around the gills...
