As we continue our cross Canada coast to coast toast to the country with the most, we are still East coasting and toasting with a tip of the hat and the glass to New Brunswick. This is a Boar of the Month Club selection from our friends at Four Rivers. The can shows a...
Another toast to Thursday with the Crownsmen and the beer of the hour is Fernie’s What the Huck, a wheat based ale with huckleberry and blueberry to boot. I’m no huckleberry hound or a backwoods blueberry and I’d rather have wheat in my breakfast cereal than my beer....
Cross Country Sniper seemed like a good brew to go with a Canada USA hockey game. However the sniping I was expecting was of the puck shooting variety, not the fight baiting kind. The gloves dropped before the puck did and we all waited for a hockey game to break out....
The Niagara Brewing Company, at the base of Clifton Hill, is Niagara Falls’ number 1 attraction! Ok, their number 2 attraction. Lactose intolerant visitors beware because Clifton Hill is the cheesiest street in Canada. Ripley’s believe it or don’t, 2 haunted mansions...
Way back in the day, as in school daze, the future Dr. B says “Wanta to go to Suds & Cinema? Rocky Horror is playing” to which I responded, “You had me at suds”. Please note this was long before Renée Zellweger turned “You had me at….” into a meme.* As far as The...

Time to check out Market conditions, take a break from my rants, and take a chance on a Trance. Market’s Trance lagered amber ale to be precise, and it sure sounds nice. The lady on the can has rainbows in her eyes, quite possibly from Al Jarreau proposing to her,*...
I’m a big Gateway City fan. Their beers, the pinball machines, the local references, all very good, usually. I can remember driving by City Bakery* back in the day and the aroma of Aunt May’s fresh baked bread wafting on the wind was something special. So this new GC...
From Bernardus to Krampus, no muss, no fuss, we're putting the "us" in Christmus. Our COMDB Christmas countdown is down for the count, as in ground zero, the big day. Sleeping Giant tell us that this Krampus* is a “contemplative sipper after a long night of...
When the Irish came up with the expression “Saints preserve us” I don’t think they were thinking of being preserved in a St. Bernardus 10% alcohol solution, then again it was the Irish. Despite the sky high ABV a Christmas Eve ale with the name Christmas Ale seemed...
