To quote a famous Doctor regarding Christmas “And then! Oh, the noise! Oh, the Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!” Dr. Suess was probably a cranky old man at heart since he said he thought of the Grinch character while looking in the mirror and dismaying about the...
Wicked good* or wicked evil? If you were described on Santa’s list as wicked you would be expecting the old “coal” shoulder from St. Nick. But these days you can’t be too sure what even the most obvious adjectives really mean. Sawdust City tells us that this beer is...
We have been “at sea”* often in these reviews and once again we find ourselves with a nautical themed New England IPA. As far as New England goes, that being from Maine to Connecticut, I tend to think of it as a sea faring region. How land locked Vermont ever got into...
I love the USA. The missus was born there, my son works there. I figure I have visited 27 states including Alaska and we love to holiday there (the USA, not Alaska). But, and you might have figured there was a “but” in the works, US TV hockey coverage sucks. I swear...

How about a fireside hazy IPA for expanding my horizons. Truth be told (as it always is in these reviews) I like to have a stout or porter by the fire because it makes for a nice picture. And I do like to have a hazy laissez faire* IPA on a dog day afternoon by the...
Lots to unravel here. I asked the COMDB translation department about the name “Omnipollo”*, assuming it was Swedish since the group originated there. They tell me that is not the case and in fact the name originates from the English word omnipotence and the Spanish...
Going by the numbers, this IPA No. 22 is in fact IPA review No. 134 to date for COMDB. It appears that Collective Arts has over 232 different beers to choose from on their website, not including specials. As patrons of the arts, Collective Arts that is, this our 8th...
