I’m watching the Blue Jays and quaffing a pint, and the Department of Morality asks what I am up to and I tell her “ I am watching the game and having a Jealous Mistress.” Next thing I know the missus is taking the can away, with a stern look of disapproval at my poor...
My Nephew brought me a new beer from the east coast. I know, I know, what a great family! The name of this brew is "Tiny Dancer" from 2 Crows Brewing and is advertised as a "Hoppy Belgian Table Beer". I have to say that is a promising start and Tiny Dancer * is one of...
Time to spin some vinyl on the old turntable, perhaps it’s Van the Man playing Tupelo Honey* while I sample this brew. Or maybe it’s the Beatles covering and adding lyrics to the Herb Alpert classic “A Taste of Honey”?** Or maybe it’s more Beatles with “Honey Pie” or...
Lunch at Clear Lake Brewery with the COM in training, that would be my son. Nice setup at Clear Lake for lunch, picnic tables and good food with a frosty brew. A pet friendly spot outdoors so a number of man’s best friends were in attendance although I must admit they...

Perhaps it’s time for another COMDB beer naming party to help out Brock Street with their beer name writer’s block. And is Brock Street really the most refreshing street in Canada, as they so brashly claim to be? I can’t help but wonder if this is a direct challenge...
Looking for craft beer at the store can feel like you're judging an art exhibition. There are a myriad of colours and life-style images ranging from group of seven majestic pine outdoor scenes to art deco to graphic arts. You can find yourself drawn to the image which...
My old buddy Fonger got all excited when he heard I was reviewing sweet grass. I guess he was thinking of something other than this golden ale. Maybe he was thinking of Sweet Leaf (you introduced me to my mind) from the golden age of grass and his rocking the Black...
