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...
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...
With a name like Death Wave I expected a West Coast double digit triple hanging 10% on board with the four surfers of the apocalypse. But what I got instead is a 4% land locked light and lively lager from Edmonton, Alberta, the land of cattle and oil, a city not...
