According to the COMDB Guide to Beer Tasting Rule #7, if you find a beer you like write the name down, because with all those crazy beer names out there, I'll be damned if I can remember them all. Good advice not taken usually becomes expensive education. Out to...
Lots of breweries are running restaurants that serve beer. But there are still a few chill brewers out there that are running bars that serve food, and Mascot in the entertainment district of downtown TO is doing just that.* A step or two down into a room with no view...
At the big mining show in the little apple. What on earth, or in the earth, would we be mining for in downtown Toronto? Beer of course. That’s right, at the Mining4Beer soiree at the Craft Beer Market. A great evening, kudos to Cameron and all those involved. With...
Some have surmised my love of amber is directly related to an old flame. Unrequited long lost love. Fond reminiscing of what could have been but never was. Broken heart on my tear drenched sleeve without reprieve. Nope, I just love the taste. But I must admit when I...

Out for a big night in the little apple. At the Walrus and time to wet the ol’ whiskers (mine not the Walrus's). It’s draft day but we aren’t interested in a rookie. Calling in a good old Guinness on tap. Hard to go wrong with the classic. A pro pour, wish I could...
Kicking off COMDB Muskoka Oktober festing weekend with a visit to Clear Lake. Six Cranky Old Men, five festers ordering draft, and one ab-stoner who did not go unnoticed by the very accommodating bar staff. “Will you be having a beverage with your meal” was a...
COM1 - “Saturday. Let’s meet for lunch at “Pepperwood”* in Burlington.” COM 2- “Peckerwood!* That’s a terrible name for a restaurant”. COM1: “And bring your hearing aid with you.” COM2: “Ok, meet you at 8”. COM1: “Never mind, I’ll text you.” COM2: “A test?”...
