The Bar Towel

cirrosis - 'that is because with a new lab full of chemical additives the brewery can now focus on removing those nasty natural flavors that good old fashioned real beer used to taste like and take us to a world of beer where accountants and lawyers predict how your beer will taste like.'

Hello Bartowellers, I am late to this thread and apologize for giving it a rip after the fact. In response to Jon's (John's) article, I agree with three things that I read in the bartowel. First that he is a 'dork', second that he wrote a good article and third that it is time to move on (except for...

oops wrong thread

Hello Bartowellers, I am late to this thread and apologize for giving it a rip after the fact. In response to Jon's (John's) article, I agree with three things that I read in the bartowel.

Thank you Bartowellers for your continued (and early) interest in our brewery and recent announcement of Molson's acquisition. When I (and the other 2 operating partners) learned of our majority shareholders decision, we experienced and shared many of the concerns expressed in this forum. Our initia...

Myself and our brewmaster are heading to the Czech Republic tomorrow. We have a number of brewery tours and beer drinking (smapling) adventures lined up, but I would look for any input from those frothquaffers familiar with the country.

Actually I enjoy the beer rating pages, I just think that it is very subjective and occasionally people are rating beers that are not fresh and as such don't actually taste right. This is why I promote local consumption and identification. Admittedly self serving. I also like to mix it up a bit and ...

Sorry, I didn't see this one. We do get some tire kickers...some more interested (or interesting) than others. There has been no sale and I don forsee anything in the near future. Regardless, the world turns and our job is to see the brewery through succession (of which there has already been 2) if ...

Whooweee! You would think the calf roping moved east. You guys are great. Let me enter the fray by agreeing with the chap who suggested that knowing beers and being able to identify with them locally is more important than drive by tastings. Secondly, I'll tee it up by saying that ...Creemore is pro...

Does anybody know where this SA effort can be purchased. Hopefully it's an improvement over the triple bock

Uncle Bobby, (of the "Bimbo,Bimbo..what's ya goin dooey oh?" fame? I remember that). No offence at all. There were a lot of flavours that night. I didn't even have an urBock and to be honest by the time I got there...well it might have been too late. Enjoyed the Tank House and the Al's, Pe...

The urBock does change a bit from year to year given that we need to use hops and malt that are by nature a bit different each year. However, our brewmaster suggests that the primary differences stem from the difficulty of direct comparison since the beer is only available for part of the year. Comp...

Hello all, For our next issue of Frothtalk, I am going to do a section on great beer sites. They can be forums, rate sites, publications or breweries (associations etc.). If anybody wants to contribute their faves, I'll try do my best to include them. Preference will given to sites that have some Ca...

I checked with Paula our territory manager in Hamilton. She confirmed that we (Creemore) did not attend the Fall festival in person. She had attended the Spring fesitval and worked out the beer (etc) with Bill from the Judge for the Fall event since she had a conflict that weekend. We had no hand in...

here! here!

Although if the Beer Awards weren't being hosted by a beer friendly and great customer of ours, I would have ducked that one too.
