And the northern lights commenced to glow, And she said, with a tear in her eye Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow. * Not only was Frank Zappa awe struck by the northern lights, he also gave us some good advice. We shall heed his...
Happy Canada day to all you Canuck crafters and friends to our great Nation all over the world. In the immortal words of Stompin’ Tom “We’re shouting Hooray up Canada way”. * Ok, maybe not exactly a Griffin winner ** but it does rhyme, and when his boot is stompin’...
Inspired by Farmer Steve’s recent Nova Scotia pilgrimage, I decided to check out my local church. A V-twin cruise through wine country and next thing you know I’m pulling into the Silversmith parking lot. Helmet in hand I go in and ask the friendly barkeep what’s new....
Me and Knopfler, just two twistin’ fools twisting by the pool. But we’re in no dire straits, just chillin’. * Time for a dip sans chips, so I swim a few widths. After such strenuous physical activity it’s time to hydrate with an adult beverage. Lazy Hazy? Could be...

Bend the universe sounds like a bit of a stretch goal to me. Bending the rules tends to be more my speed. In fact, a real stretch goal for me is to bend my knees every morning when I get up. But I’ve seen the Northern Lights on enough occasions to know that the...
This Boréale bitter bear from Montreal is on the hunt for hops and it looks like he’s found them. Lots of them. A heapin’ helpin’ of hops. They tell us that this IPA has an “unmistakable bitterness” and they ain’t lyin’. They tell us that this beer “celebrates...
An IPA made of barley, hops, yeast, and water seems natural to me. Do lots of wheat and oats in the mix make it supernatural, or unnatural, or just another White IPA? A brew review is called for, naturally. But first a digression. The word supernatural almost seems...
It’s art appreciation day at COMDB with this Miami NEIPA. And we certainly do appreciate Collective Arts and their contribution to the cranky old brew review gallery. There was Peak to Peak which made a valid point (or two). Then there was Chroma Chromatic, a...
