I recently saw the ad campaign for Coors Banquet Lager “Start Your Legacy”. * Time for another COMDB defining moment. “A person’s legacy is the lasting impact, memory, or impression they leave on the world”. I thought that starting your legacy by quaffing a case of...
Dad was a proud union man although he complained as much about the union as he did about the company. I guess it’s true, there is no perfect union, but it doesn’t hurt to strive for a more perfect one.* I remember the old man saying that anyone that crossed the...
According to Sawdust City this is the season of the Saison, and this beer is the Saison of the season. As in spring. They also feel there is no way of knowing what comes next so we might just as well seize the day and smell the roses, and expound other trite clichés...
I’ve visited a few farms in my day and let me tell you, the early to bed early to rise lifestyle, coupled with a hearty heap of hard work, is not for me. Milking the bulls, fertilizing the fields, harvesting the hay, shearing the cows, it’s just too much work.* But...
Combine the bitter love child of a lemon and an orange with the most eclectic brewer out there and what do you get? Godpeed’s Yuzu Citrus Saison, that’s what. Yuzu, yeast and a clove or two and voila, a beer for all saisons, a befuddled and baffling brewski for sure....

Editor: Our indomitable craftsman RA takes one for the team on this saison reflux review. An expensive and exotic brew which is not typically in his wheelhouse, or beer fridge, so we are assuming it was a gift. Or even more likely a regift. I had to find a bottle...
I find it interesting that a country like Scotland, renowned for bag pipes and haggis, which I consider two of the most unromantic things in the world, has their biggest celebration of the year to honor their romantic poet laureate Robbie Burns.* I skipped the haggis...
Right up front, I am not a man for all saisons,* but I do respect the genre. I give every brew a fair shake, which sometimes leads to a messy pour but so be it. I am a Gateway fan, and had sampled and enjoyed a previous GC saison, so who knows, maybe another saison of...
Godspeed Brewery refers to their beers as “intentionally eclectic” and they ain't lyin'. In fact, I think that may be a bit of an understatement, like saying the Beatles were popular. After sampling their barley wine imperial coffee stout, now I am into a saison. But...
