The Forecast Calls for a Cold Weather Lager

The Forecast Calls for a Cold Weather Lager

Back in the day a cold weather lager for us was a Molson Diamond or Brador in February in the field before the high school dance.* Finish it before it freezes. A Deep Purple cover band, with maybe some smoke too, but not on the water. But this Dominion City throwback...

A Politically Motivated Deja Brew Review

A Politically Motivated Deja Brew Review

Just like a Ghostbusters sequel, this brew seemed hauntingly familiar. So just like the goose, I took a gander, checking out our COMDB archives for a Blood Brothers deja brew review. It appears that there may be some politically motivated rebranding afoot. I was never...

Into the Lime Lite Again

Into the Lime Lite Again

While JT is quaffing crafts and cavorting in Costa Rica, someone has to hold down the fort and do a brew review, or two. Ok, a few. So, I find myself thrust into the lime lite once again.* Shawn Ampersand Ed treated us to a cherries jubilee brewski previously, now...

A Path Well Worth Following

A Path Well Worth Following

The COMDB Translation Department did a sombrero dance around this one and came up with El Camino meaning “the Path” or “the way”. Is it the path to follow or Frost’s road less travelled. I know when I’m in Toronto I always get lost in The Path * and that shortcut to a...

The Hole in the Wall Gang

The Hole in the Wall Gang

After a visit to the Bobby Orr Hockey Hall of Fame in Parry Sound, I stopped in on the Hole in the Wall gang,* those fine folks at Trestle. Why the name trestle you ask. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. As for the Orr hockey hall, some great memorabilia and...

Sticke Handling

Me: Hey COMDB Translation Department, what does “sticke alt” mean in German? COMDB Translation Department: Can you keep a secret? Me: Yes. COMDB Translation Department: So can we (derisive laughter in the background). Left to my own devices, I checked the COM library...
