It’s the COMDB Christmas countdown and the good shepherds are watching their flocks by night, chilly and all quite star struck I might add. The bad shepherds can be found downtown at the Bethlehem’s Manger Ranger Bar and Grill, cozy by the fire and quaffing a cold...
The COMDB Christmas countdown continues with a pit stop at the Ports. Perhaps a more Christmassy pub could probably be found, but this is the only pub where I’ll find my old buddy Rick. Still it’s festive enough for me, with the Rudolph red nosed regulars, and there...
It’s the COMDB Christmas countdown. Time to do a little careless caroling (you couldn’t care less, could you) with a Carolus Classic dark and dangerous Belgian. No not Jean-Claud van Damme,* but this high ABV specialty brew from Het Anker, their grand imperial beer....
It’s November 1605 and a group of conspirators are finalizing plans to blow up the government of England. Literally. As in 36 barrels of gunpowder underneath the House of Lords. The high treason conspiracy was uncovered before the fuse was lit, and Guy (sly as a)...

Big Wave, from the big island, owned by a big beer company, in a little itty bitty bottle.* It’s 12 ounces of Island time, a bit of a tropical island respite on a cool fall night. I wonder which island this bottle is from. Let’s see, according to the Kona label, this...
I love me an amber so I was geared up for this one. And to make matters even better, last night I witnessed a Leafs come from behind OT victory over the Washington Capitals. By the way, isn’t it ironic that the leader of Washington is Russian? Comrade Ovechkin.* Old...
