Bravo Brava

Bravo Brava

Lots to unravel here. First of all a translation of Brava is in order. The COMDB translation department asked me if I wanted it in French, Spanish, Italian or Hawaiian. Out of curiosity and with no foreseeable deadline on this review I said all of the above. They tell...

Blackbird Flight

Blackbird Flight

The Premium lager from Brewers Blackbird is a delicious offering that'll tickle your taste buds and have you coming back for more! Not just great beer, but the location is spectacular as well - a building from 1837 in Ancaster Ontario that has been completely...

The Cure for Listlessness

The Cure for Listlessness

You’ve got your to-do list, in our house known as directives from the Department of Morality. There are shopping lists, laundry lists, and the proverbial bucket list. Lots of Top ten lists, or top 5 lists for those in a hurry. There is an app called List. Real-estate...

Free Wheeling

Free Wheeling

Aligned with our vision of free beer, I have decided only to attend events with an open bar. It is a matter of principle (or is that principal). It may just be our principal principle. Of course, a couple of free drink tickets is a grey area (or is that a gray area)...

An Inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Foam?

An Inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Foam?

The Glorious Sons * lend their name to this Farm League Lager, and now you have what FL call The Rock N’ Roll Lager.  Perhaps I am being a bit pedantic here, but the Led Zeppelin song is “Rock and Roll”, Lou Reed is a live “Rock N Roll Animal” with his solo version...

Bon Fire Black

Bon Fire Black

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...

It’s Yabai!

It’s Yabai!

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...

A Light in the Dark

A Light in the Dark

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...

It’s Not Pete’s, It’s Petes

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

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...
