The Bar Towel

I had two pints of O’hara’s Celtic Stout tonight and I rather enjoyed them.

Any word on the line-up yet? Checked the Victory web site and couldn't find anything.

Cheers,

They have a partial list up now:

For how long should/could you cellar something like this?

I bought some last night--haven't cracked one open yet, though. But tonight's the night.

I went to Texas last week and managed to get away with only having to drink one Bud Lite. While there, I bought six-packs of the following: Spoetzl Brewery Shiner Helles, Shiner Bock, Shiner Black Lager Everyone seemed to stick with the Bock, I found it a bit pedestrian, but not awful. The Black had...

Holy shit, Greg. Heaven forbid we all care deeply for a beer event! I'll have to agree with Jon. The fact that we all are enlivened by this thread about the Cask Days event is a testament to the greatness of the it. Weather we love, hate, complain or speculate on how it's run--we are all still thank...

Personally, I wouldn't suggest any of the Great Lakes lagers. As much as I like the beers they've launched in the last couple of years, I'm still not a fan of their lagers, and don't see the point of using a beer that is relatively indistinguishable from most mainstream lagers as a "gateway&qu...

I've found that the Golden Horseshoe Premium Lager is an excellent converter beer.

Check out the Dogfish Head website....they equate their beers with wine styles...kind of an interesting take on it. For example: 60 Minute IPA Wine comparable: Busty Chardonnay Indian Brown Ale Wine comparable: Shiraz You could have some fun with this....good luck with the event. Ah, now this is in...

Actually, I was thinking of serving a belgian-style--I have Affligem Tripel in my fridge.

I would bring very good representatives of any style, no matter what they are: if you tell people what to look for, they may be able to appreciate it. ... Gary I was thinking of doing the opposite, but maybe you're right. I do want to buy the Winter Ale for sure--and its flavour does fit your crite...

I have some of this in my fridge right now. Hmm... I think I'll open one.

Yes, exactly what I did last year--I served Mill Street Organic for those not drinking the wine. The problem with this event is that most of the non-wine drinkers are the spouses of our friends. I totally know--why not just drink the wine any way--we'll have some good ones, but I'd like to have an o...

I'm looking for some advice. I need to know which beers to serve as an option to wine at a wine party. The wine tasting will be rather hip as I have a sommelier, but I'd like at least two different beer available. After reading "Great Lakes Launches Hops for Hunger" posted by Cass, I'll be...

Many of us here have long fought the good fight to spread the word about better beer and better beer establishments. Oh, and don't forget that you also try your best to discourage any one from posting or making comments on Bar Towel if they haven't be long-time members. I don't do anything of the k...
