Fun facts about the Little Apple. It takes me two hours to get there but only one hour to get home. The Path is 18 miles long and I’ll walk all of those miles at least once before I ask for directions.* And when you’re walking the downtown streets no matter which way...
Spoiler Alert! If you haven't seen the saddest movie Disney ever made, don't.* You will be depressed for a week. If you must subject yourself to such self imposed emotional damage by watching the movie Old Yeller then don't read the rest of this brew review. Long...
Back in the day midnight was the midpoint of our New Year’s Eve celebrations and libations. These days it's Scattegories with the grandkids then one and done to fuel the sheer fortitude required to stay up until midnight. So picking my New Year’s eve brewski was a...
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...

Is this a diamond of a cherry baby, maybe? Or should we runaway from this cherry bomb? We could join Ryan and move into a house on Cherry Lane where we can pick all the cherries we want. * Wouldn’t life be a bowl full of them then. Knowing my luck, I’d end up with...
A French beer with a German name seems odd to me.* Why? Just in case you skipped history class that day, in the previous century the two countries had some relationship issues. I think they saw a counselor, or maybe that was a Chancellor? "De l'eau a coulé sous les...
Fresh Prince (Willard Smith) age 57. Doug E Fresh (Douglas Davis) age 59, Mannie Fresh (Byron Otto Thomas) age 56, Maestro Fresh Wes (Wesley Williams for some Canadian content) age 57. * All these Freshes aren’t so fresh anymore, maybe in need of a refresh? Still...
