A Just Right Light with Bite

A Just Right Light with Bite

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...

Caught Red Handed

Caught Red Handed

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...

An Amber Antidote for a Blustery Day at the Cottage

An Amber Antidote for a Blustery Day at the Cottage

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...

A Contrarian Bavarian

A Contrarian Bavarian

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...

What’s the Matter?

What’s the Matter?

A Crownsmen show feature brew from Victoria, BC, this beer is in many ways much like the show. A perplexing mystery wrapped in an unfathomable enigma. Just as we never know where the show will go, or why anyone even watches it, or if anything on the show makes any...

One Elbow Up

One Elbow Up

I played a bit of hockey as a kid and I was a hockey parent. Lifetime fan of the Leafs for better or worse. I think I could even be a colour commentator for hockey night in Canada if I could keep it clean. But when Mike Myers introduced us to the expression “Elbows...

Otto Works

Otto Works

Pedantic Editor: I wonder if otto-matopoeia refers to words that sound the same as their meaning in German? Sounds like it’s time to call in the COMDB Translation Department. COMDB Translation Department: We don’t hear from you often. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not...

A Peso for Your Thoughts, No Lime Required

A Peso for Your Thoughts, No Lime Required

Some have said that timing is everything, other say timing is the only thing. *  The debate rages on, but most would agree that timing is something. When it comes to us cranky old men we say anytime is beer time and that summertime is Mexican lager time. Maize in the...
