The old man’s favourite author was Louis L’Amour. His favourite TV show was Gunsmoke. When it came to music he liked both kinds, country and western, although he preferred Western, Johnny Cash in particular. * So he may have appreciated this rootin’ tootin’ red headed...
Time for another defining moment for COMDB. “Classic” is defined as “being judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind”. We have featured a number of classics in our reviews. A bootleg album with a misspelled “Starway to...
Another Mining 4 Beer event, this one at 3 Brasseurs in Montreal. The joint was hopping, the taps were tapping, the beer was flowing so I was going. After all, who can say no to an invite from the M4B Brewmeister extraordinaire, Cam the man. The AC was off, the heat...
Free beer, open bar, on the house. Each phrase is distinctive yet they have unity in meaning. Each has a nice ring to it as well, all just roll off the tongue and are pleasing to the ear. But these concepts are not abstract at all, especially to the COMDB team. The...
Last night’s lacklustre Leafs’ lopsided loss was nothing near the barn burner I was hoping for. Maybe the lethargic loss could be consoled with a Beau’s Barn Burner? Perhaps, or perhaps not. Beau’s tell us that this is “classic amber ale, reimagined.” Imagine that....

Codswallop? What kind of a name is that for a beer, sounds like nonsense to me.* I remember going fishing with the old man in the cedar strip boat. After we found our spot the mercury outboard got pulled up and the oars got put into the water. For the uninitiated, one...
I have a Skeleton Park brew in hand and at hand, their Heritage Series, and they are digging up an amber from the past. There is a real “Skeleton Park” in Kingston, a playground that is located on what was once a cemetery. Before construction they removed the remains,...
One honey brown goin’ down, straight from the Haliburton Highlands into my glass. As Jackie Gleason would say “how sweet it is”, * and of course the “it” he was referring to was life. It’s another thirsty Thursday and COMDB are on the Crownsmen Show to add some 5%...
As we continue our coast-to-coast toast to Canada, we leave the great lakes of Ontario for the land of 10,000 lakes, Manitoba, the start of the prairie provinces. We roll on down the highway with a great Manitoba band, BTO.* When Fonger first heard that song he...
