Pola Roja was quick work for the COMDB translation department, being the consummate professionals they are. Spanish for Red Pole they tell me. Based on the name I surmised, assumed, and mistakenly thought the town on the label may be a Spanish hamlet, not to be...
Mowin’ the lawn near the end of a hot day. When I mentioned in passing that it seems like ages since I had surfed the turf the missus seemed to have the exact number at hand as in two weeks and 3 days. TMI as far as I am concerned. You see, my thumbs are closer to a...
It could well be that the origin of the word gorgeous comes from the Elora Gorge, a beautiful place to be sure.* Well worth a drive, depending of course on where you live, the mileage you get with your vehicle and the price of gas. Apart from all that it is a...
Flying Monkeys brewing an amber, Beau’s brewing an IPA (an upcoming review), what kind of topsy turvy Lewis Carrol through the beer glass * beer brewing world is this? And the name, “Raving Loops of Computer Music” gave me a flashback (memory not chemical based...
What time is it? Game time! And whose playing in the final for winter’s favourite sport? Two of our favourite winter destinations, Florida and Vegas, of course. And once again the house wins. The hits and the referee’s glaucoma were the two main themes of the...

Congratulations to Gateway City on their new digs. A larger purview to brew, additional spaces for cases, and lots of runway for landing flights. Here’s hoping the pinball machines survived the move intact with tilts kept to a minimum. And what better way to toast the...
Plan A is history. Toast. The inedible kind that is too burnt to rescue with peanut butter. The Leafs are on their way to the links, licking their wounds and practicing their putts and pitches. Plan B is now the new Plan A, but the Oilers are on the brink of...
From the smokestacks of Montreal to the Stacks of Sudbury. Time for some culture from the COMDB poet’s corner. My abs are with Waldo, no where to be seen, time for a light beer, my fitness routine. Stack’s tribute to the miners is what I picked, while I watch my...
