I’m not what one would call an opera aficionado, don’t know much about the genre at all, although I’m sure our egghead Editor will have an opinion on the subject. As far as I know Carmen and Madame Butterfly met the Barber of Seville at Figaro's wedding. What I do...
Let me tell you about road trips. There was that one to the Kiss concert in TO. Then what about a spur of the moment trip to Kitchener Waterloo Oktoberfest. And all those A-Bay happy hours just South of the border. Or a motorcycle ride from BC to Ontario and then on...
KANPAI! Sounds like the final blood curdling scream of a kamikaze pilot descending on his target at the speed of sound. * Or a karate master’s victory cry as he executes the greatly feared fatal and final five finger death punch. ** Maybe the Iron Chef’s favourite...
As the review name would imply, this is a good one. No dark or any other shade of fore shadowing required here. There’s a howling wolf on the can, but there will be no lupine laden levity or awkwardly assembled alliterations in this review. * No siree. Just a lone...
I’ve been to more than 20 gold mines in my day that I can recall and a few I probably can’t. I had a Good Delivery bar of gold in my hands, with two Mounties at my side for moral support. * When it comes to beer we’ve had Goldbrӓu, Goldie, and Anderson’s Gold. We’ve...
Lots of love for St. André because I love an amber/dark beer, and this one tastes great. I like the light alcohol at 4.6 and I especially like that it’s brewed in Ontario * and it’s a great price for such a quality brew. Keep it coming please. *Editor’s Comment: Cool...
Is premium the new norm? I mean we’ve sampled more premiums than Bayer has pills. * Pilsners that are lagers, and lagers that aren’t pilsners, and ales for what ails you. Lights and darks, whites and reds. Canadian, American, Dutch, German, Austrian, Japanese and...
COMDB riddle time: Q: If it’s still light outside and you go inside how is it that the dark pours in? A: When you stop in for a lunch libation at Flying Monkeys and a Reapers & Mowers dark lager is poured in your glass. A site visit to the fabled Flying Monkeys...
Moosehead tells us that JR 6.0 is “the energy drink of beers – high-octane, high-energy, and high-spirited! It's the funcle (fun uncle) of the J.R. family,” * That brought to mind a joke that JF told at the last COMDB AGM. Q: What’s worse than ants in your pants? A:...
Fast Eddy’s. A river raft run, perhaps? Or a souped-up Edsel. I’d like to think it was Newman’s Oscar nominated role in The Hustler. * Fast Eddie: So why go to college? Sarah: Got nothing else to do on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fast Eddie: What do you do on the other...
