Smoked but Not Stoked

Smoked but Not Stoked

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...

Por Favor, Muchas Gracias, and De Nada *

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...

Copy That

Copy That

Sure looks like a Corona copy to me. From the Cool (not Coors) Beer company. Out of Mimico, I kid you not.* They even instruct you to “add a twist of lime” on the bottle. What’s different is this is a light beer as in both quantity light and ABV light. There is...

Maybe Your Beer, Not Mine

Maybe Your Beer, Not Mine

In January of 2023, I found myself in Belize, Central America.  Now for all of you geographically-challenged types out there, Belize is not an island, nor does it have a Pacific Coast.  It is a very small country directly south of the Mexican Yucatan, on the Caribbean...

Fins Up!

Fins Up!

Inspired by Jimmy Buffet’s song Magaritaville,* and part of the reason the laidback sandals and sea-shore singer is a billionaire, the Landshark Lager brand is owned by Anheuser -Busch InBev.  What began in Jacksonville mainland Florida as an “island beer”, has gone...
