Kicking off the Cranky Old trick or treat countdown with the alliterative craft collab combo of Bellwoods & Blood Brothers. I’m doubling down and downing a double with a Goblin’s Trill. Will it be the trill of victory or the agony of defeat? * Both brewers were...
A beer from Moxee? No. A beer with moxie?* Maybe. A beer that is a shout out to the town of Moxee, in Washington State. Yes. 6 hours Southeast of Vancouver depending on the time it takes for the cross-border body cavity search, Officer Ben Dover presiding. Moxee is...
Parsons. The name sounded familiar. I do have a couple of Alan Parsons Project LPs, and I have attended church when required to, but I never dated the Parsons daughter. * But I think I remember seeing a Parsons at one of the COMDB AGMs (Annual Golf Meeting) but it...
Another defining moment in the history of COMDB. “Hedonism is the doctrine that pleasure or happiness is the sole or chief good in life” and just like Dr. Dre and Ice-Cube, that’s straight outta Compton.* Meanwhile masochism is deriving pleasure from pain. Can a...
For all you amateur ornithologists out there, yes there is such a thing as a Pacific Loon, which not coincidentally is a West coast diver, although not unlike another West Coast group, the Beach Boys, it gets around. * This is our second Two Loons, the first being Two...

From a teeter totter to hop scotch, * but it’s not all fun and games at COMDB. It’s time for some serious Scottish suds sampling as we make an armchair journey from the Great Lakes to one of the great lochs, Loch Lomond. We’ve had the pleasure of pouring and scoring a...
Sal and Dean lived life large on the road. Wyatt and Billy’s cross border chopper hop started and ended on the road, literally. Anthony (Man) and Pedro were rollin’ on down the road, high times on the highway. And Otter and Boon’s response to their frat house demise...
Is it the ghost of Black Sox left fielder Shoeless Joe Jackson roaming the cornfield? The whispering apparition telling the LF gang “If you brew it they will come.” Is this brew their Left Field of dreams?* Or maybe Ghost Runner is a spirited sprint of some sort? Or...
