After reviewing a parade of lights that would make Christmas Salt Lake City jealous, it was time for some serious suds. An elevated ABV with a full malt assault was required. Yes, it was time to bock the trend and do some summertime Oktoberfesting. The fine folks at...
I’m the big cranky old man on campus today, bellying up to the bar at Niagara College this afternoon. I’m back for a “refresher” course in Beer 101, and today’s lesson is Bock. The 7% ABV brings back some not so fond memories of my marks in physics back in the day. *...
This review will be short and sweet. Short as in angry and sweet because this brew was too damn sweet. Out at The Grist with my wife for life for a tasty repast. The Goat, that traditional Bock mascot, * is the newest addition to the Grist list and my brew du jour....
The COMDB translation department loves German, or as they like to say “Wir lieben Deutsch”. They tells us that “Kloster” means monastery, and Andechs slogan “Genuβ für Leib & Seele” translates to “Pleasure for the body and soul”. Can this dark double bock live up...

Blondie, Billy Idol, Taylor Momsen, Madonna, Stevie Nicks, Sting, and Grace Potter. All strong blondes who rock. * Ok, I know, there is a lot of peroxide in the mix but it’s rock and roll, so anything goes. Now I’ll introduce you to another strong blonde that rocks,...
Back in the day I was quaffing quarts at the Ports. These days I’m a one and done pint partaker in the Port. As in Port Dalhousie. A lunchtime retreat to Lock Street to check out a new brew to review. In complete defiance or maybe just indifference to the calendar or...
Our cross Canada cost to coast toast to the Country with the most continues. We're now in the western most prairie province, Alberta. Although it is one of the prairie provinces, it's probably best known for the Rockies, Banff, the Calgary Stampede, and oil. It is the...
After a long dark journey to Uranus, which in the end was about as pleasant as it sounds, we suited up for a much closer destination, Mars. JT, in his pre-dry February days, had already signed up for a mission to Mars with some Space Rations. But you don’t have to...
