I think I know what a stone fruit * is but what the hell is a kickflip?** Peach tends to be my stone fruit of choice, as for kickflips, this NEIPA from Clear Lake is my kickflip of choice, seeing as I am not sure what one is so this is the only one I am familiar with....
Great Lakes claims that this brew is “the orange juice or beer with breakfast answer”. I am not much of a breakfast drinker myself although ol’ Kris Kristofferson tells us “the beer I had for breakfast wasn’t bad, so I had one more for dessert.”*. GL also suggests it...
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...
Flying Monkeys is encouraging us to tune in to this unique IPA. It wasn’t that long ago that I was suspicious and reluctant regarding IPAs, not a fan. But with their Juicy Ass IPA Flying Monkeys tuned me in and turned me on* to the genre. Since that time COMDB have...
Our culture seems to love bad robots as much as good ones. The “Star Wars” robots were heroes. Governor Schwarzenegger was a bad robot in” Terminator” but comes back (he told us he would be back) as a good robot in “Terminator 2: Judgement Day”. In the original “Lost...
Adding a Four Ways Collective Arts can to my extensive art collection*. Cultured and classy I know, but that’s just how we roll here at COMDB. The art on the can is by Bhavatosh Dhavale from India If you thought that Mosaic Four Ways referred to an intersection in...
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...
