The Bar Towel

Try this beer, but beware it carries a terrible curse! Ooh, that's bad. But it's made with fresh hops. That's good! It's brewed by Trafalgar. That's bad. It will go on sale quickly. That's good! But there may be wild yeasts and bacteria at work. [puzzled] That's bad. http://i28.tinypic.com/30mooeo.j...

we haven't seen it here since the Schultheiss was around several years back. We all gripe about the LCBO's often incomprehensible selection policies but, man, there have been times when they've hit a grand slam. Schultheiss Original Berliner Weisse was one of those. Apparently exported almost nowhe...

Pretty good release. I've been drinking my stash of Gouden Carolus more freely knowing that I'll be able to restock. I've had Peche Mortel on nitro and cask, but have yet to try the bottles, so that'll be interesting. Any word on October's Ultra-Premium Beers release yet? Certainly looks like it cou...

No, but I'll check it out at some point, even though shows with Dawn French as a main character are batting 0.000 for me.

But is it a local event?



What, no LoG fans?

Ask if USPS/CP is a shipping option. $5 brokerage plus taxes. It's also worth mentioning that postal orders with a value less than CDN$20 are exempt from any taxes and duties, as well as the $5 handling fee. In my experience, the lowest value order that I've had to pay fees on was $35, so there see...

Wow, 50,000 posts. And some of those aren't even Belgian's.

The forum is certainly livelier than it used to be:

Similar, yes, but more just equally and outrageously colourful, which has the effect of muting the stylistic differences. I like it. Interesting packaging. In Ontario. I can't believe it. Yeah, the name's the same, but so what? It's unlikely that the Blue Point beer will ever be available here. If i...

SteelbackGuy, you are such a...well, I don't need to say more... :wink: Seriously, why the beef with Menzies? I did a quick search, and the guy doesn't seem to have written more than a coupl...

Some Things Are Best Kept Close To Home by Adam McDowell.

So which one of you was the guy with the notebook who polished off the Black Oak Saison?

They're a bunch of fuckin' amateurs.

Yet another reason why brewers should put a clear, easily understandable best before or bottling date on their bottles.

I think the Bar Towel forum benefits from the participation of industry people, whether they're agents, brewers, bar owners, LCBO employees, etc.

However, I also think that snide comments directed at competitors should not be tolerated--particularly towards a class act like R + R.

Timing is everything, and is another tool that the we, the members can use as leverage in dealing with the employer. Just a hunch, but I'd say that public sympathy for striking public workers-- any workers--is going to be inversely related to the amount of garbage that piles up in Toronto. Seems li...
