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...
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...
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...
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...
Jimmy and Robert reminisced and lamented “Good times, bad times, you know I’ve had my share.” But Tom had some good advice, “Remember all the good ones, forget about the bad.” * Our philosophy at COMDB is it’s always a good time to have a good time. In fact, in our...
Jimi’s baby stayed in a red house over yonder, but Jimi had a plan B, if his baby didn’t love him he knew her sister would. Taylor told us that loving him was red, burning red, a tragic tale of a love so perfect it was destined to fail. * But the Red Rocker in...
A blustery day at the cottage, too windy to fish, and with the sideways rain the boathouse gazebo was a no go. After trying unsuccessfully to keep the grandkids from fighting with a day of card, dice and bored * games I was down to my last nerve and it was stretched...
Last night I checked the cottage beer fridge for an evening IPA, an end of a scorcher of a day refresher, and grabbed a Bavarian 8.6 IPA. Sounded like just the ticket, and the extra 27ml of international bonus beer is almost all times appreciated. My Editor is...
Nice patio dinner with the missus, then out on the lake and wetted the net, yep caught me a fat bass-terd or two, then a moonlight cruise. Only one thing left on my to do list to do today, that’s right, quaff me a cold one on the boathouse. But after all the fancy...
A 7% lager attests to the gravity of the situation, as in high gravity brewing, a process usually reserved for bocks or triples to boost the booze. * Is it ironic that the original Apollo Seven ** was all about escaping gravity through liftoff while this Apollo Seven...
