We have found ourselves in the Burdocks a few times in the past year. There was that memorable Tuesday night on a Sunday. Then we got lost in Vermont. But finally we got all our Bur-ducks in a row and here we are, this time not with their Ducks but with their Deluxe....
Merry Xcess to all. It's that time of the year when everything is supposed to be special. What's a beer drinker to do when facing pressure to up their game for the holiday season? ... the answer should be obvious - more beer.* My response was to reach for the...
Downtown and out on the town and downing a Town. Out for dinner with the missus and I decided that a Quick One and done would be an ideal accompaniment with fine company, engaging conversation, a vegetarian nightmare of a meal, and the Leafs game on the big screen...
I’ve seen a tunnel or two in my day, back when I used to work for a living. When they are 3000m below surface we don’t call them tunnels, we call them drifts. As for the screaming, it could have been the vent fan or it could have been my supervisor providing some...

What could be more limey than the lads from Liverpool, the fab four. How about this beer. Past encounters with lime infused and abused brews yielded COMDB dishonorable mentions. Past encounters with hop stomping wineries have been hit and miss. So this limey lager...
Couldn’t catch a break at Cold Break, a private party was going on and we weren’t one of their privates. Our host said, “let’s try the Merch, it’s always a good time”. Well as far as I was concerned, it was a good time to have a good time, so off we went. Bellying up...
After a visit to the windswept and craggy shores of Manitoulin in search of the ever elusive Haw berry, it’s time to shift gears and grab a seat on the sun drenched sands of PEI. Armchair island hopping right into the PEI Brewing Company’s Beach Chair. Both Island...
Big Rig are hauling us down south of the border, two borders to be precise, for a cerveza siesta among the agaves. ”Saludos y buena salud” I say.* Full disclosure, I had to consult with the COMDB translation department for that one. They tell us to pop a top and enjoy...
