Take it easy, slow and steady, Big Rig is haulin’ an Alpha Bomb. In addition to being a real bomb*, and the signature wrestling move* of “The Alpha Male” Monty Brown, the Alpha Bomb is a Big Rig Hazy IPA. I just poured one into my glass, being careful to avoid any...
Ever notice how some of these very common phrases just aren’t true. I mean obviously timing isn’t everything, I could be in line at Tim Hortons right behind Warren Buffet* and we get chatting about some deep macro-economic topic and next thing you know he asks me to...
You are witnessing a defining moment at COMDB! The definition of an “odd bird” is a rather unusual, strange, eccentric, or peculiar person. The name odd bird reminded me of the Jerzy Kosinski book “The Painted Bird” in which Kosinski tells us a story of a boy, while...
Big Tim (she calls him Fred) from Cape Breton is all Spruced up after working on the coal boat, according to our old friend Stompin’ Tom.** And I imagine working on the coal boat would build up a powerful thirst, I mean I’m just sitting watching the ballgame in my...
I am a fool for Refined Fool brews. Love their Party Sharks IPA, delicious. And I had a good to great streak going, even a sour super suds, so would this session hazy IPA end up in my good graces too? When you are always trying new beers it is a bit like Russian...
Starting off our arm chair tour of the East coast with this Island brew and it’s 5 o’clock somewhere. Wait a minute, it’s 5 o’clock here. Beer me. Flying solo on a wing and a prayer and a Gahan 1772 tall ship full of Scottish settlers*. Maybe my ship has come in? The...
I had the pleasure of lunching at Bench Brewery a few weeks ago and picked up this Hopster Double IPA there. Bench has a big facility, a very nice dining area, and rows upon rows of hops. This particular brew uses their own Centennial hops as well as Idaho7, Citra and...
Angelic** is an apt name for this beer. There is a picture of one on the can and there is more inside the can. There is a surprising hoppiness in the initial sip and it is followed by a great citrus flavour. A smooth finish completes the quaff. This is a great beer...
If you thought that a boxing bruin was referring to a Boston hockey player getting ready for Christmas, don’t feel bad, so did I. But with the sparring gloves on the can I think that Cowbell are referring to the old time sideshow event of a real bear boxing. Perhaps...
Sunny day, BBQ in need of tending, only experienced operators need apply. Sounded like a job for a cranky old man. But we know, as per the COMDB Guide to the Fine Art of BBQing (formerly the COMDB Guide to the Manly Art of BBQing), without a beer a BBQ is just a BBQ....
