The Bar Towel

It's on Bloor between Dufferin and Lansdowne. I've walked by many times and wondered if there was a connection. Thanks for sharing! For those of you who don't get the CA newsletter, here's an interesting bit on how they named Ransack the Universe. “Ransack the Universe IPA was born from a spontaneou...

I know someone who did the custom brew thing. For their dog no less. Didn’t realize it was so expensive.

If you don't follow the Toronto Craft Beer subreddit, there's been quite a bit of negative feedback over this event that took place this past weekend in Toronto. The theme was collaborative beers between Blood Brothers and other breweries. Apparently, it was $15 to get in to this ticketed event. Thi...

Rorschach is now doing $5 pints all day Monday and Tues. to Fri. from 2-6.

Not a brewery, but the Danforth location of Bar Hop closed last weekend.

I was surprised to see Newcastle brown in cans at the LCBO last week, so picked one up out of nostalgia.

John Smith’s, Tetley’s, Boddingtons, Flowers - I miss those light, creamy UK ales.

Remember when Mill St. Tankhouse was actually pretty decent?

Rorschach is worth trying. I'm not into sours or fruited beers but I like their IPAs. Can vouch for the current batch of Truth Serum, Master Status and Telekinesis. Their "crowlers" are actually 1 litre plastic medicine bottles since they don't have a canning station and they are currently...

Also, several breweries have shifted to Canpar. So far these have shipped blazing fast, and no issues upon delivery.

Quick Google search shows Spearhead, Grain & Grit and Cowbell are using Canpar. Anyone else? I wish Dominion and Sawdust would switch over to Canpar.

Surprised you guys like this so much. I had it at The Jim during the Founders tap takeover last Friday. Found it sickly sweet. Much prefer KBS or Kentucky Bastard.

Loved the CBS and the Better Half at the Jim. The free glasses were a nice touch.
