I'll be attending as a guest rather than as an exhibitor and looking forward to it, particularly interested in Scott's Dunkelweizen for obvious reasons. I'm not pouring because the event is exclusively for new or one-off beers.. While you will see some familiar beers, that is because the brewery is ...

Just a quick comment about my Dunkel and the category it was entered in the Canadian Brewing Awards. I'm not sure if you were looking for a reply, Len. I looked for a European Dark Lager category and there wasn't one; only North American Dark Lager. If I had entered the Dunkel in that category it wo...

Alcohol serving sizes (and prices).

Having spent the last half hour getting caught up on this thread, I think it's about time to point out that the liquor licensing laws in Ontario already do make it quite clear that the serving size and price of each drink must be clearly indicated in the menu, or on the wall, or on a list to be avai...

The thought of those not wearing pants while drinking my Weissbier has caused me to rethink my goal in life.

Being as brief as I can (pun unavoidable), I have come to the somewhat late conclusion that the beer is not responding well to warm storage. Many people especially in the industry, will know exactly what I mean. Only by purchasing samples from those LCBOs that were storing it warm was I able to conf...

Re: Comments on taste. The comments on sulphur are well taken, particularly as noticed at the Bar Towel awards this year at Beer Bistro. I had become aware of this situation a couple of weeks earlier. Sulphitic (burnt match) flavour at moderate levels is a sign of a fresh lager, hopefully not too fr...

Ahh, time will tell. It's at my two favorite stops, gotta love living in Toronto.
In the interest of accuracy, it's only been 6 years or 20, depending on which way you want to look at it, during or post 75 Victoria!

So much to say, so little time. Also, in spite of the fact that Cass told me how to do quotes, I still don't know how to quote multiple people in the same reply, so I'll have to make it in point form. In terms of importance, the comments on taste are top for me, but in terms of order on this thread,...

It's been at Queen's Quay since Friday afternoon. I delivered it.
I'll stop in this afternoon to see what's going on. I believe Bill George is back on today and maybe he'll be able to figure it out.

75 Victoria Street

I am quite serious. While the beer side was fun and satisfying, there were some serious numbers going on behind scenes. Of course, now that our landlord and subsequent ones have realised how much money they lost by closing us down and having the building vacant for so long, you can bet that the rent...
