High Grass? Lemongrass and ginger? Cannabis Dry Ginger Ale? Sounds like a drink Fonger would order. * High grass could also refer to the usual destination of my drives on the links, unless of course there is water on the course. You gotta have balls to play golf like...
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...

I’ve seen a few salt docks in my days. Isles de la Madeliene for one. Then there was Windsor Salt and of course Goderich. But the Parry Sound salt docks?* What’s that all about? The things you learn while drinking beer. Then I got thinking about the expression “salt...
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...
