The Bar Towel

Last year there was Jelly King, Jutsu, Boneshaker, Rush Golden Ale, Blood Brothers White Lies... I've been seeing ads for some Double Hopped Bud Lime...so I guess that will be new, lol. Last year when I went I found the best place to grab beers was the self serve / grab and go credit card spot as th...

Definitely curious to see what they'll bring in. The mix packs are always a treat.
They have some newer brews I haven't had like P'tite Maudite.
For $5 I used to get 20oz pours of Trois Pistoles at a hostel in Tadoussac...plenty of fun, but fuzzy, memories from those trips.

Picked up the newest non-alcoholic offerings in Toronto yesterday. An IPA and a Sour from Mascot Brewery called "Stuntin'".

Oh nice! Unibroue is a personal fave still, even after so many years.

Am I the only one who thinks the beer name is smart? Anyone who does have serious allergies will be cautious with a beer named Epi-Pen to make sure it doesn't contain ingredients they are allergic to. If it was named something generic like Happy Bear the risk of someone inadvertently buying it could...

Good point about Hill Farmstead, I haven't been there in many years...last time I went down to Vermont I skipped them. I guess because....SO many options out there as also mentioned. I love Treehouse beers, and last time I went to their main spot it was easy in and out, with virtually no waiting for...

When was the last time you stood in line waiting for a beer release? With online orders possible almost everywhere now, it seems this old tradition is a thing of the past. For me it was probably one of the Goose Island BCBS releases. I used to line up for Double Tempest Day, but was out of the count...

I've ordered the 4L cask boxes from Granite many times, usually in the summer. The Best Bitter and Hopping Mad are both great in these. Pretty sure only Volo and Granite have them. (Neither have any in stock right now.) Am I overlooking anyone else who might have cask beers that they'd be filling in...

Too funny. Not sure who the importer of Boon is. LCBO had the Kriek not long ago, so might be able to track down that way...? Vitriol in Quebec brings in Boon. Off-ish topic...had a 40 year old beer once (not a lambic). It was actually quite enjoyable. Hmm, probably posted about it on here back in t...

I used to drink more Nickel Brook as well. I'd mostly go to stock up on their root beer, and then grab a mix of some other stuff that was available at the time. The Kentucky Bastard would always draw me in too. I don't really get excited by their newer offerings, and their overall branding now. Oh w...

The two best NA brews I've had recently were both Red Ales.
One from Toolshed in Alberta, one from Brasseur de Montreal.

Just another one of those styles that seems to work better than others in NA form. (To me at least)

I'm only drinking NA beers for 100 days, lol. Had Chester from Bazaar recently, an NA Berliner weisse with black currants. It was quite good! Grabbed the new Swoon stout from Burdock, and picked up Nickel Brooks NA beer to try soon. Bazaar is pretty great. Gimmicky dessert beers are the future of N...

I like the sounds of this one from Sawdust City...anyone tried it yet?
Wayback Playback - West Coast IPA - Citrusy and floral. This West Coast IPA has a bold hop aroma that packs a bitter punch. It finishes dry and crisp.

I never managed to try any Cassel beers. it does feel a bit weird having Ontario breweries open and close without having ever sampled their goods.

Has anyone used Red Tape to brew a custom beer? Anyone have an idea on pricing? Just curious. $1,200 for 100 cans. https://shop.redtapebrewery.com/collections/gift-card/products/bespoke-beer-gift-card-1 Ah cool. Good to know! I imagine they have different options if you contact them, but this is he...
