I thought this brew (and corresponding brew pic*) might be a good segue into a shout out to my old buddy Crazy George who goes down to Burning Man each year in Nevada.** What started out as a bon fire vigil on Baker Beach has become a 70,000 strange and strong event...
I parlez-vous a bit but Japanese is Greek to me so it was time for the COMDB translation department to do their thing. They tell me that “yabai” means “terrible” in Japanese. I called them on that one, risking their wrath, but I figured that couldn’t be right. I said...
Over dinner at the COMDB AGM and I thought I would get a review in. Who says multi-tasking isn’t productive?* I was intrigued by Sawdust City’s new beer San Diego Dreamin’. Although it appears to be an obvious reference, or play on, the song title “California...
On the lake again this evening, feeding the fishes. No fat bass-tards landed, but a couple of little bass-turds that got thrown back as quickly as an icy IPA after mowing the lawn on a walk-on-the-sun scorcher of an afternoon. Successful or not, every fishing...
Hockley night in Canada …. in August. And in more hockey news Auston Matthews scores a $13.25 Million USD a year contract, the highest paid player in the league. Ka-ching! Of course that ka-ching will get the big ding from the taxman or taxwoman or the other various...

This lager is smoked and I am stoked for some Canadian football. Roughriders, Alouettes. 3 downs instead of 4, larger field, more men, smaller payroll, fewer fans.* A great quarterback passing school to get into the NFL if you survive the every down blitz.** It seems...
De Nada, sounds like Spanish to me. A call out to the COMDB translation department was in order. They quickly responded with “Your welcome” which seemed premature to me since they hadn’t provided me with a translation therefore, I hadn’t even said thank you yet. When...
Recently in Southern California I picked up a 12 pack of Corona Premier at a nearby store. While I normally drink the regular Corona in a bottle with a lime or lemon, I went for the cans this time. I am not sure why I went with the low cal can version either. Maybe I...
In doing these beer reviews I have been to Helles and bock. Amster-damn helles, big rock bock helles. By day visiting the sun gods and at night by the gaslight, and all points in between. I think it was Winston Churchill who said “If you find yourself drinking a...
