Wrestling with The Crusher

Wrestling with The Crusher

Looks like The Crusher* is all fired up and ready to dominate the ring, doing sweaty holds and flips while decked out in his stretchy pants, in a choreographed ballet of blood.  Clifford’s Crusher looks more like a thirst crusher than a bone crusher. Maybe a summer...

Solid Hack a Lead Lager?

Solid Hack a Lead Lager?

For you hockey fans of a certain vintage you may be thinking of Bobby Clarke when it comes to a solid hack, but it appears that Gateway is continuing their curling theme following their “On the Button” Amber Lager. For those unacquainted with the art and science of...

Stay Thirsty My Friends

I heard about this hotel that hands you a beer with your room key, so of course I had to check in to it. And sure enough I was handed a nice chilly bottle of Dos Equis Especial Lager por favor and mucho gracias. Brewed since 1897 from the Montezuma Brewery*. They even...

Carlsberg is in a Hurry

Brews and Brooms

Brews and Brooms

Once a year I used to head down to the local curling rink for an afternoon of brews and brooms. It was the annual company curling bonspiel*, an event where the amateur on ice alcohol induced ass over tea kettle acrobatics were more entertaining than the game. Some...

May the Schwarz be With You

May the Schwarz be With You

The COMDB translation department were ready and willing to take on Schwarz. Halloween always seems to raise their spirits. Schwarz* bier directly translates from German to “Black Beer”. My first thought when I saw this beer was of the genius of Mel Brooks** and his...
