The Bar Towel

These gift backs are still the only economically feasible way to acquire unique glassware from your fav brewery.. Have you tried checking out local thrift stores? Recently I have found at various value village stores: an Arrogant Bastard glass, an Orval glass, a Tetley's pint glass (with a union ja...

COAST TO COASTLESS
LCBO 435347 | 750 mL bottle
SEASONAL/LIMITED QUANTITIES
Price $ 9.95

I can't wait to pick up a bottle of that commemorative, Canada Day beer. In September.

I fully expect Grocery stores to have listings very similar to TBS. For all the reasons previously stated, especially the listing fees. In large part, I think this will be because of the limited roll-out of stores. Maybe if the government would let independent grocery stores or even smaller chains ...

(Disclosure: I work for LB, in case anyone didn't know) It's not a flip top. I'm not too sure about the gimmick thing. Lake of the Woods only had growlers (not cans/bottles) and submitted to the LCBO. After their trial run they (LC) were looking for someone to do it province wide. We did it last ye...

I mean the weirdest thing is why anyone would want a pre-packaged growler from the LCBO. Growlers are normally for beers where the point is that A) They're very freshly brewed and on draft. B) Brewers that don't have bottling lines or have a one-off that's not worth bottling. C) For the experience ...

Yeah you're right, that is a possibility. I'm still pretty pessimistic about it, speaking as someone that lives non-GTA. IMO There's two main reasons the better beer selection won't make it to our local grocery stores. 1. The LCBO still controls the distribution so they'll still hold back those hig...

I also don't get why brewers still date formats like "09/03/15" Is that September? Is that March? Most of the time I just buy another beer and not take the chance. Ambiguous date formats always piss me off. Although at least the numbering is better than some stupid code with letters and a...

Flying Monkeys Coast To Coastless Any idea when this one is gonna hit the shelves? I only heard "end of july". Maybe when I'm in Vancouver soon I can pick up a bottle of the Phillips one. End of July, really? I was in Victoria at the end of June and the Phillips version was already out. T...

I've been proposing this for ages, ever since I witnessed the phenomenon in the States. Bars and restaurants are already licensed, but why should you have to physically be in the venue to drink it? http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2015/04/07/ontario-bars-want-to-sell-takeout-beer.html I really do...

Anyone know of taste testing between Chico Sierra Nevada and North Carolina Sierra Nevada? Just curious. Presumably, if nothing else, the water is different I would be shocked to find out that a brewery the size of Sierra Nevada doesn't have the ability to treat their water so that the water from b...

I think most people will agree that the beer sections at the LCBO are pretty much at capacity. There's that whole stupid SKU issue that has been discussed elsewhere, but as for physical capacity, I won't argue your point generally, but I know that my local could squeeze more in if they wanted to. O...

i was in Buffalo. They had Stone's Enjoy By on sale. It was March 14. They had $1 off the Enjoy By March 13. They had $1 off Enjoy By Feb whatever the day was. i wonder if anyone will buy a beer called "Enjoy By" after the printed Enjoy By date. Isn't there a thing on the Stone website wh...

I honestly think this is really interesting. Sure metro and walmart probably won't have anything interesting. But like in the US there are lots of other grocery stores that position themselves as different by selling higher end or higher quality products. Look at the beer selection at just about any...

As far as freshness goes, the weirdest thing is probably Great Lakes My Bitter Wife. On the side of the bottle it says " Carrie says Drink this IPA Fresh!". But there is no production date or anything on the bottle so you have no idea if it is fresh or not.
