The COMDB Creed

The COMDB Creed

The Farmer’s Creed * meets the fisherman’s creed with this light lager. “A feller isn’t plotting schemes. Out fishin’. He’s only busy with his dreams. Out fishin’. His livery is a coat of tan, his creed to do the best he can. A feller’s always mostly man. Out...

Light Lime Time

Light Lime Time

A light lime lager, an alliteration addict's aphrodisiac. It was a fine time for a 2.0 lime, here's hoping this light turns out just right. So eager to try this Sleeman special that I find myself conversing in verse for better or worse, and I know there's rhyme but...

Hot and Cold in Rome

Hot and Cold in Rome

The armchair COMDB Euro trip and tip brew tour continues, and it should be no surprise that at some point we’d end up in Italy. After all, they say all roads lead to Rome. Except of course for that well paved and multilane highway to hell which despite the heavy toll...

Armchair traveling to a place I’ve never been and in all likelihood will never visit, Poland. Nothing wrong with Poland mind you, I’d love to stop by for a brew or two. But when you cross reference the bucket list with the bank account and factor in the preferences of...

Broadhead by the Bay

The cerveceras and banderleros at Broadhead have whipped up a light Mexican lager with lime for us and in a stroke of marketing genius and brew naming creativity seldom seen they have named it......Mexican Lager with Lime. I guess they had to save some money from...

One Good Nocturne Deserves Another

Ever the contrarian, I was doing some daytime drinking with a Nocturne. Out for dinner with my wife for life and when I saw AquaNova on the menu, a Vienna Lager no less, I said yes, please. I ran into Brewmaster KC at the OCBA conference and since then I’ve been...

Anxiety Cause and Cure

If you thought a cowbell light was part of Farmer’s Steve’s living room décor, you are correct. But this review isn’t about his taste in furnishings, which some would call 80’s yard sale ranch kitsch. It's about Cowbell Brewing’s Standard, their light lager....
