Re: Celebrity Pub Encounters?

Technically not a pub, but it was a bar, the bar @ Barberians Steak house in Toronto. My wife and I were staying downtown for the weekend, went to dinner @ Barberians on the Friday, later that evening, after 4 hrs of eating and drinking, Steve Harris (bassist for Iron Maiden) walks by our table. We ...

Re: Gout, filtered vs unfiltered beer, and the guy trying to cheat the system

I to to get the dreaded gout, I have eliminated all read meat and seafood from my diet, and now keep drinking beer (or anything else) to Friday / Saturday only. This has kept things in check for the last year.

Re: Are there any kick-ass breweries I'm missing?

Town makes some of the best IPAs in the province, in my opinion. I would say they're perhaps not quite as dense/sweet as some Badlands and 3M, but that's why I like them so much, I find them more balanced for my palate. Rouge River make some excellent hazy IPAs as well. I like Town ok, nut as much ...

Are there any kick-ass breweries I'm missing?

Are there any kick-ass breweries I'm missing?
So I love big hazy, juicy IPAs (and big stouts). My current fav breweries are Third Moon and Badlands. Are there any others that come close in ON with their IPAs?
Obviously it would help if they do online orders.... so who deserves my $$$?

Re: Badlands Brewing Caledon

Does everyone here know about Evolve or Die? Every year they make a DIPA with extreme hopping rates. Last year's was the most aggressively hopped beer I have every had. This year's is less aggressive, but a downright outstanding beer. They're expensive, but I think they're worth it as a once a year...
