Double Time Juicy

Double Time Juicy

Quick, it’s double time, a Double IPA from Willibald that is. The COMDB translation department took this challenge on with relish and other assorted condiments, during their lunch hour, most likely because their employment agreement stipulates being paid double time...

Nothingness Turns Out to be Quite Something

Nothingness Turns Out to be Quite Something

How about these brew names; Return to Nothingness, Midnight Kills, Born to Die, and Dead Don’t Die (which seems contradictory to the previous beer name). Wow, some pretty morose monikers from these Third Moon guys. Maybe it’s just a phase they’re going through?* Me on...

Thin Man on Trial, and the Verdict is…….

Thin Man on Trial, and the Verdict is…….

Nick, Nora and I out on the town to down a Thin Man,* and that meant a visit to Beertown in downtown Hogtown. My man Sunny tells me to try their collab brew Trial by Muskrat. Which reminds me of that damn otter that keeps shitting on my dock, and I’m finding muskrat...

A Hazy Sequel (Brew Mule Rules)

Rhymin’ Simon was keeping warm through a hazy shade of winter, while Nat King Cole was having some lazy hazy crazy summer days. Not to be outdone, Tori was in a spring induced haze.* Me, I’m hopping on board a Hazecraft which will hopefully lead to an out of this...

Border Patrol

Border Patrol

Crossing the border, this time literally. My mission, to achieve a New York state of mind by scoring some New York State brewskies. To achieve this crafty clandestine caper I have devised a foolproof cover. I have the misses and the grandkids in tow and the vehicle...

A Maiz Me

JT is travelling to try and take his mind off dry February. Across the pond, taking in the sites, “drinking” in the local culture so to speak, and counting the days. As for the rest of us, duty calls in the form of a well stocked beer fridge and a frosty brew or two....

King Me

King Me

“All hail the king of hops”, so say the Amsterdam brewers* about their imperial IPA. If it’s big numbers that make you King, this brew has them in spades. But Peter Parker and I both know that with great power comes great responsibility.* The current version of...

Love Triangle 18 but Who’s Counting

Love Triangle 18 but Who’s Counting

Nothing two dimensional about a love triangle. How many can you think of? How about these. Rick, Ilsa and Victor will always remember Paris. Rhett, Scarlett and Ashley don’t give a damn. Nick,Jay and Daisy and all that jazz. Jack, Caledon, and Rose struck a pose....

A Two-Way Pint of Pine

A Two-Way Pint of Pine

On the home front a two-way conversation for me usually involves a lot of listening, the occasional head nod, and me being corrected if I do get a word in edge wise. Case in point is my failed attempt to bring Jello to the company potluck, but that’s another story,...

Adventures On Board the Dawntreader

Adventures On Board the Dawntreader

CS Lewis wrote of the adventures of Lucy and Edmund and their trip with King Caspian X aboard his ship, the Dawn Treader.* Maybe I’m not as adventurous as all that, but I get the feeling I’m in uncharted waters every time I sample a sour. And this an IPA sour no less....
