This Session IPA was reviewed by our most prolific Cranky reviewer RS. That shouldn't come as surprise as RS has like a 1000 reviews to his credit. No seriously, he is closing in on 1000 and shows no sign of slowing down! So of course he has tried the Hail Mary from...
If I’m talking about high grade it’s more likely in reference to motor oil than my academic achievements. Fonger could be at the corner store (in Canada any corner these days) shopping for some high grade. Miners like high grade but aren’t too fond of high grading.*...
Another defining moment in COMDB history! The standard definition of dank is unpleasantly moist or humid. The word is also used to describe high quality marijuana as in “That’s some dank weed you’ve got there, man.” Not coincidentally, some of the hops used in IPAs...

Visiting Arizona, I find myself in a dry state. Time to tackle Four Peaks. Hiking in the mountains? Heavens no, who do you think I am, Jaques Cousteau?* No, I'm talking about the Tempe based brewery.** Got me a variety pack, figured I'd tackle all four Four Peaks...
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...
St.Thomas, the Railway City, has seen a few boxcars in it’s heyday. More than 100 rail cars a day used to travel through the St.Thomas station including the locomotive that hit and killed poor Jumbo the elephant! Does it seem ironic only to me that the most famous...
