I perused the COMDB library, diving into the dusty tomes of the archives. Specifically searching the Dewey decimal system 030 section, just to check out some “new” English. There were lots of new editions on the shelves. How about Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary...
I’m not what one would call an opera aficionado, don’t know much about the genre at all, although I’m sure our egghead Editor will have an opinion on the subject. As far as I know Carmen and Madame Butterfly met the Barber of Seville at Figaro's wedding. What I do...
London has graced us with another organic offering for quaffering. They’re serving up an Amber au naturel. If that phrase provided you with an enjoyable mental visual, your welcome. Local organic malts and hops they tell us. Canada Certified organic they tell us. Just...
Amber how do I love thee, let me count the ways, Your pore I adore, and what’s more, an aroma of toffee, oft greets me. I love thy caramel malt countenance, your lager sweet innocence, And how you dwell not on bitter thought, but on that smooth finish I like a lot....

Our thirsty Thursday was more like a freaky Friday. The day before Friday the 13th and this Crownsmen Show might as well have been the next day for all the luck we had. More technical issues than a ketamine fueled SpaceX launch, but thanks to our always on the ball...
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....
Eliot Ness headed up the prohibition forces way back in the day and busted up more stills than a serial photobomber. It seems ironic that Great Lakes Brewing out of Cleveland (not to be confused with Great Lakes Brewery out of Canada) * has put him on their amber, but...
