The Bar Towel

I guess what I was getting at is since a Geuze is a mix of two already aged beers, what's the basis for there being a general guideline for how long you should age a Geuze before drinking? Unless it's just about giving it enough time for the source Lambics to fully blend and get to know each other, ...

When you say it's already 2 years old, what does that mean exactly? The descriptions online say it's a blend of a 4 year old Boon lambic with another Lambic from 2008.

The secularists fought long and hard to get a secular state, so they'll riot over pretty much any government action that they think is a step towards religion. I'd be in that boat. Both there and here. Yeah, but it's not a serious worry here. I don't think we'll see the clerics taking over Parliame...

Turkey is a very different place than Canada. Their population is a mix of people who are proudly and adamantly secularist and people who are devout Muslims who favour religious law.

It's the Armand and Tommy.

Does the LCBO website ever update during the day? I don't think I've ever noticed stock change as the day went on.

It's pretty sad, actually. Putting together a system that reflects real-time stock levels isn't very hard.

I got back out. 4 left when I left twenty minutes ago.

Also, I called queens quay. They told me they had 24, but no word when they would be out. Might be available by now.

Bah, at 12:30 they told me it would be 2 or 3 hours. I would have just waited if I'd known it would only be half an hour.

Well, I don't think it's so much "The LCBO" that's allowing it as it probably is just some random working holding a case for a friend. Which probably shouldn't be/isn't allowed, but whatever. True. My real point is that (to my knowledge) the LCBO has specifically prohibited stores from do...

Atrium told me all but 6 got snagged by one person first thing this morning. The other 6 are held.

Manulife just told me it was on their second shipment today, so it wouldn't be unpacked until 3 or so. I asked if they would hold some for me, they said no.

I was going to post that too.

...After I went to get some at lunch
