The Bar Towel

Northwinds pub is still in construction. You can still find the really tasty treats in the area. Places worth checking out: The Huron Club. Great place, good vibe, Three Stage XPA is on tap. The food is amazing. Piper's Sports Bar - Thornbury. Not exactly a craft beer destination but, a great local ...

Moose carbonnade with Storm Coffee Porter.

We have the Golden Tap Awards for just beer geeks and the consumer and internet dwellers. Canadian Brewing Awards is for Canadian brewers, breweries, and the industry itself. Brewers take great pride in their craft. If I craft a well made low-cal lager I'm going to be happy to know it was technicall...

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

No award is a joke.

It was a good evening hanging out with fellow brewers from all over Canada. Great people. Great times.

Let the commentary continue!

Duke of York used to have Denison's on tap. I haven't been there in a while, but I'd assume it's a good place. They were sporting Muskoka a while ago as well.
I believe the usual Rickards is suspect on tap, but you don't have to buy that.

Why is Mad Tom IPA more serious than their other beers? I consider them a two-tiered brewer like Sierra Nevada - in their case and on a smaller scale, thyey have some tamer stuff for the cottage crowd, and a 'second' product line with a more select appeal (craftier beer.) It's smart from both a cas...

Some brewers will always be cool, and will produce beers not easy to get, which shall forever enhance their desirability. Wax dipped, secret handshake, the whole nine yards. And others like Muskoka will exhibit an uncanny knack for really conservative craft beer, while sticking a firm toe or even a...

Now enjoying a few Hopyard, a Pale Ale with an unusual vinious quality, almost like you can taste wild grapes in it or something. This beer makes me crazy trying to describe it. Anybody know what I mean?

oxidized and under attenuated?

Cigar City's Jai Alai White Oak Aged... shit girl! This is good.

A cask beer called Dumb Pig Rye Pale Ale, at Volo tonight. This reminded me of some of the best English bitters I've had. I'm not sure I'd have identified the rye had I not known, but I think it adds some extra aroma and taste and possibly contributes to the nice reddish colour. The beer poured nic...

Amsterdam Education Great Lakes - Lackey's Flask Lindemans Cuvee Renee Amsterdam Tempest Paddockwood 1000 Monkeys Paddockwood Double Double Lost Abbey Angel's Share Good beers. The Tempest is a grower. Paddockwood is so-so. The Great Lakes and Lindemans Rocks. The Lost Abbey is almost certainly not...

Crazy Canuck followed by a Granite Stout at Bryden's. Now enjoying an Amsterdam Elementary ale (Vienna & Challenger? SMaSH IIRC) at home. Thanks Bartle! Vienna and Columbus. I just cracked one a little while ago. Sheesh. A titch of CO2 in this puppy and the weed aromas and flavours really bello...

This beer is like the Magnotta IPA on steroids. at first I didn't dig it due to lack of malt sweetness, then I embraced how awesome the hopping is. Centennial kind of owns my heart as a hop, so I'm bias. I also don't like crystal malts...and this obviously has none or so little that it's still golde...

I know this is a forum of beer geeks... but none of you have ever drank a "shitty" macro beer before in celebration of something because it was there? You really think the bar, club / hall/ whatever had every beer in the world? Champagne... dude(s)... just celebrate. haters gonna hate. I d...
