The Bar Towel

My wife is down to her last 3 bottles (or as she calls them, "my babies") from the 2 cases of Breakfast Stout we got from the release.

I think she might cry when she drinks the last one.

I haven't heard anything definite. Hopefully soon, though - it's a perfect beer for the format.

Regardless of what you might think of the beer and/or the brothers themselves - I think we can probably all agree that this was one of the best articles related to craft beer to appear in a mainstream publication in recent memory, if not ever.

In NB's retail store now. Now only if they could revamp Headstock and NN graphics to bring them in line with this... https://www.facebook.com/NickelBrookBrewing/photos/a.371172706267676.102906.319268014791479/702131356505141/?type=1&theater It's in the works. I expect that they've got a lot of ...

And only 5 cents more than the 355 ml cans!

Lots of odd new listings for Big Rock. Seems all of their products are listed three times... Big Rock recently relaunched their line-up in new packaging and slightly smaller bottles - from 355 to 330. The new listings with N/A price seem to be for the new packages, so I guess they'll be arriving he...

There's also a third in the planning, apparently. https://twitter.com/HamOntBeerFest is the one with the website noted above. https://twitter.com/HamBeerFestival has hamiltonbeerfestival.com registered, but no site online yet. Because Beer seem to be the only ones with their shit together. Too bad t...

Huh. Just clicked through, and the site no longer lists a venue, and has no specific dates, just "August 2014".

Organizers jumped the gun, perhaps?

I've removed the "21+" reference from the subject.

Could be that the organizers were using some boilerplate from a US festival for their brewery contracts?

Congrats to Mark & Mandie - I expect they'll have a very successful run there once they're open...

guy at the lcbo today was telling me that Nicklebrook Naughty Neighbour was going to be available in 6 pack 355ml cans soon. Not sure if there's any truth to this though.. That would be very odd considering that all of the other NB canned beers are in 473 ml singles. Which is a format I'd LOVE to s...

Given the increasing frequency that beer dinners are taking place in Toronto and elsewhere in Ontario, I thought it might a good idea to start a single thread to list and discuss them rather than flooding the forum with a large number of single posts. Here's an initial list of the upcoming dinners I...

Isn't that the 500ml cans with a widget?

Yeah, I believe so. Cobblestone in 440 ml, I think, and it has a widget.

The Project X batch, which I loved, had 30 IBU and came in at 7% ABV. Will have to pick up one to see how much it's changed. I enjoyed the 7% Project X batch too, the one I had was barrel aged. This one is not ("bourbon soaked"?) The 7% barrel-aged version was Vanilla Bourbon Porter , whi...

Mark, I totally agree with you about brewers getting base styles down before amping them up. I can almost hear the conversation: Brewer A "Hey we should try making a black IPA" Brewer B "Totally! except, let's use a Belgian yeast" A "Oh yeah, that would be awesome! And let'...
