A Honey of a Lager

A Honey of a Lager

This thirsty Thursday with the Crownsmen was not without its challenges. When Gaudy said “Jerrod sounds annoying” I thought she was just stating the obvious, but she was referring to a technical problem with the sound system and some background noise. It turned out to...

Amber’s Amber

I love me an amber.  But will I love me Amber's amber? An Amber Brewery Original Toronto Amber Lager graces my glass and expectations are as high as a CN Tower EdgeWalk.*  Despite the typical big city drawbacks I'm a big fan of the little apple.  The concerts, the...

An Honest Brew gets an Honest Review

An Honest Brew gets an Honest Review

Finally, after all these full of shit lying lagers, an Honest one. Of course, if the marketing mavens have named this beer "honest" even Alanis Morissette would call that ironic.* Let's hope the brew master named this one. Just to be clear, all our COMDB reviews are...

Welcome to Wrexham Lager

Welcome to Wrexham Lager

  Wrexham you say? How has a little Welsh community become the center of attention these days? * A model of resilience, comeback kids. They had a football (soccer) team that was floundering. A brewery that was drying up. Things looked dire for the little Welsh...

Something Dark This Way Comes

Something Dark This Way Comes

I had a hankerin’ to drink curiously, and being a chartered member of the curious club, I know there’s no better beer to do that with than a Something in the Water curious craft. An uncommon K-town common per say? A Painted Lake Peach perhaps? A Tortuga the tortoise...

Showtime! Jerrod’s Top 5, Rory’s winners and losers and the COMDB secrets to success. The Crownsmen pack more into a one hour show than anyone else could pack into a half hour show! And in what can only be described as the most uplifting part of the show, Jerrod told...

Redemption

Redemption

Our last experience with Paulaner was an alcohol-free brew and let’s put it this way, the rating wasn’t much higher than the ABV. * So this is their opportunity for COMDB redemption. We figured the German brewer has been at it since 1634 so by now I think they should...

The Wait is Over

The Wait is Over

No reservation, no problem. A spur of the moment dinner out with the Missus and one of her favourites is The Grist. Some breweries have restaurants. The Grist is a restaurant that has a brewery, and a pretty good one from my past samplings. Quickly seated and settled...

A Tap Hard to Top

A Tap Hard to Top

What happens when it’s 5 o’clock somewhere and that somewhere just happens to be here? Well, if you’re a COM it’s time for a beer. Not at all coincidentally, about that time I had entered the premises of one Bridgewater Brewing, where the server’s question “will you...

Better Would Be Nice

Better Would Be Nice

John and Paul told us that “it’s getting better all the time, because it can’t get no worse.” *  Have you ever noticed that whenever someone says it can’t get any worse, it does? Don’t despair (it doesn’t do much good anyway), there are good people working to make...
