Seger was making some night moves on the Silver Bullet Express, while Johnny wanted to move that train a little further down the line.* But when it comes to the night train, Guns N’ Roses rode it so hard their Axl got busted. “I'll be loaded like a freight train,...
“It’s so cold I had to jump start the toaster” one old timer told me the other day. Now that’s cold. Been going through a cold spell recently so it’s hard to picture any new growth but we know it’s coming, just as sure as spring follows winter. As far as the art on...
Chroma chromatic is a colourful name for sure. It means an intensity of colour produced by colour. Sounds like Collective Arts is doubling up on the name for this double. My first thought upon seeing this beer name was Paul Simon’s song “Kodachrome”. * Paul tells us...
I’m flying two flags this evening and at 7% I may be flying high. From a periodic to a patriotic pint right from the Nation’s capital. Or is that capitol? And should it be capitalized? Or is that capitalised? * Politics can certainly be confusing. I thought this was...
Cr(h)azy like a bedbug or cr(h)azy like a fox? We don’t get too many Belgium created IPAs around here, although some would say this is a hopped up Belgian blonde. How’s that for crazy. Speaking of crazy, it’s time to call in the COMDB translation department to deal...

Back in the day I hit the hill a few times in my Levis, but yesterday if I was jean skiing I would have froze my rivets off. But there was an idiot out there on the hill in his shorts, a snow boarder so perhaps that explains it. I figured he was the middle child in a...
I’m a big Flying Monkeys fan, not the creepy furry flying fury of the West Witch minions variety, but the ever creative, curious and crafty Canadian craft brewers. In my opinion Juicy Ass is the classic modern day IPA, so nice the COM did it twice. So the FM IPA box...
I was wondering about the meaning behind the exotic brew name Sultana Solero.* It sounded Spanish to me so I brought the COMDB Translation department into the fray. Me: Hey team translation, can you translate Sultana Solero for me? COMDB Translation Department: Yes....
In the great white north and that means a drop in for a bite and a brew at one of the fine local establishment. I had heard it firsthand that there were a few tantalizing taps eager for action at Cecils, so a brunch (beer and lunch) was in order. The story of Cecil...
