Thai One On

Thai One On

Singha, the golden lion.* Not to be confused with Sinha, the lion stout, or the  Golden Ale, or the golden ticket, or The Golden Child** for that matter. This golden lion is the original Thai beer, brewed since 1933, a pale lager that received Royal assent. I sampled...

An Indie Guarantee

An Indie Guarantee

Indie Alehouse tell us that this beer is “Guaranteed to improve your dance moves.”  I have sent them a video and expect to get a refund shortly. In the meantime, I thought I would review this Euro-Foeder* aged lager. In keeping with their anti-branding campaign, this...

An Ultra Light that Doesn’t Fly

An Ultra Light that Doesn’t Fly

Hob knobbing at a fancy private function, that’s just how we roll at COMDB. An open bar but limited selection, not that I’m complaining. I had a choice, suck on a Heinie or quaff an Ultra.*  I have had a few heinies in my day (that didn’t sound good) but had never...

People ask me, how do you sample so many beers and still stay slim and trim. Actually, no one has ever asked me that, but if they did, I could refer to the Beach Ball Fitness Program™, or how I stay active fishing in the summer and watching hockey in the winter. Of...

Toña Especial For Sure

Toña Especial For Sure

The COMDB translation department worked overtime on this one. I figured they would be use to four letter words by now so it should be simple enough to translate the word Toña. However nothing is really ever simple when it comes to our translation department. They...

Good Night Vienna

Good Night Vienna

A night out on the town with my much better half and a shout out to Richard and Sarah who joined us from across the pond. They are braving snow, ice and freezing temperatures to enjoy all the great white North has to offer this time of year, that being snow, ice and...

Fit for a King?

Fit for a King?

Kingsville, Kingston, King City, King’s Town, the Lion King, a King with an axe beats one-eyed jacks. Hey, we have a new King now don’t we, our first in over 70 years. It’s the man formerly known as Prince! I wonder if his reign will be purple? He certainly has big...

Ducks in a Row and Monkeys Staying In Tonight

Ducks in a Row and Monkeys Staying In Tonight

At the cottage last night and I had all my ducks in a row. A chilled glass and a Fenelon Vienna Lager to go with my chips. A fire sparking and sputtering, as opposed to roaring, I was never much of a boy scout**, although when it comes to my evening brew I like to be...

Electro-Light

Electro-Light

I don’t think anyone would mistake me for someone who is carb or calorie conscious and I wouldn’t know an electro-light from a red light, but that didn’t stop me from trying this Rally session lager with electrolytes. To be honest, my first thought was that an...
