Lagunitas Heinie

Lagunitas Heinie

Is this big brewer brew review week or what? First a Landshark and now a Lagunitas. The COMDB translation department tell us that Lagunitas is Spanish for lagoon. It also happens to be the town in California where founder Magee started brewing back in 93. He moved his...

Reeling in a Zinger

Reeling in a Zinger

Alone but not lonely at the cottage (my sane asylum). Out on the water, a line in the lake, reeling from the heat but still reeling them in. I think catching pickerel this big qualifies as weightlifting, but for those of you worried about the fish, have no fear. I...

Beau’s Tropical Tractor Taste Treat

Beau’s Tropical Tractor Taste Treat

You ain’t never seen a revved up, juiced up, steer horned,  lights out, tail waggin’, tire burnin’, wheelie poppin’, throttle throbbin’, cranked up and tanked up bad ass Beau’s tractor like this before. This makes farmer Steve’s Kubota look like one of them trikes...

Exploring? Have You Checked Out….. the World?

Exploring? Have You Checked Out….. the World?

Let’s go exploring! Where? How about…..the World! With a spaceman on the can I guess they are telling us the world is not enough.* I’ve been around the world once or twice and let me tell you, the novelty has worn off. So these days if someone says “Let’s go...

Here to Drink

Here to Drink

After a bad experience with a zingless no hops IPA of the English variety, I thought I would get right back on that horse so to speak, but this time with a highflying hefty IBU Quebec brassy IPA. Viva la difference! I am assuming kick ass even before trying this brew...

Pour and Soar, or a Poor Score?

Pour and Soar, or a Poor Score?

On my armchair tour of Europe again, this time to the bonny old England, brilliant. There are lots of urban myths and legends about IPA’s but it is generally agreed that they originated from the UK. So I was looking forward to this IPA , “Crafted in the Heart of...

A Pet Promoting Pint

A Pet Promoting Pint

Collingwood’s cross-eyed Clifford look-a-like canine, and a high-flying feline that appears to have been into the cat-nip, grace the can of this session IPA. Why, you may well ask? It so happens that this brew is supporting their local Humane Society. We could all use...

Cold and Bitter

Cold and Bitter

Out on the lake tonight trying to catch a couple of fat bass-tards. No luck, but that’s maybe a good thing because I don’t think fat bass-tard season is open yet. Ever try visualization? It doesn’t work for fishing, unless you are visualizing not catching anything....

Mondo is in Session

Mondo is in Session

Mondo is an adjective that means something remarkable or striking, surfers would say a mondo wave is of epic proportions. They may not be outstanding in their field, but the COMDB translation department had a field day with the word “mondo”.  They tell us that in...

Fish Tales

Fish Tales

The big ol’ tuna on the can, is fish face first in the sand, and got me wishin’, about goin’ fishin’. It isn’t Charlie the beer can tuna.* And it isn’t Charlie Horse, or a Charlie Brown quote, or a Chocolate Factory Charlie visit either, although we have had all those...
