The COMDB NB Mystery Pack challenge continues with an assortment of alphabetized IPAs to sample and score. The previous mystery pack pint, let’s just call it “A”, because that’s what it’s called, is done and dusted. Time for Plan B, and as Tom Robbins tells us, B is...
3 Rocks isn’t our first Second Wedge, but our fourth, and we’ve come to count on them for some 5 star brews. How’s that for a Sesame Street segue, thank goodness we didn’t get to 6…7. But what’s in a name? In this case letters and a number. Could the name be in...

Day 2 at the Ontario Craft Brewers conference and right out of the gate, Jake Karls takes the cake, or the chocolate squares at least * After a sociable or two the evening before some of the crowd were singing The Orange Juice Blues ** but he roused the rabble with a...
Another Frontibus in front of us, right from the Gaspe coast to my end table coaster. Our COMDB Translation Department made quick work of this one. L’Amiral is “The Admiral” in English. Now if you’re thinking about Horatio Nelson or that old joke about the “rear”...

They say the devil is in the details. * They say a lot of other trite cliches as well, but some how this one seemed appropriate. Our Cranky Old trick or treat countdown has bookend Blood Brothers Bellwoods brews. First their Goblin’s Trill, and now their Devil’s...
