The Bar Towel

I'm a Software Developer for a multinational, with our office located in downtown Toronto.

popped a fresh corne diable and it was infected, sour little bitterness So it wasn't fresh then? The batch I picked up was brewed in June. And NO, it didn't taste fresh at all...definitely nothing close to "perfect". I picked up 6, also brewed in June, with the same experience: it tasted ...

Isn't that just the same link I posted? His case was only mentioned yesterday as one that had the current cop involved in it - being charged himself today in relation to said corruption is a heck of a lot more serious and different! Yes, it is. Looks like I started my submit while you were typing y...

I have to admit that I probably would have missed the mention in the original article without seeing it mentioned in the forum. This article makes it a little harder to miss.

I can't help but think that this isn't the sort of mention that the new Steelback Brewery would want in the press...

What do you guys think the oak aging would do to the taste of Unearthly? Just make it taste more, uh, like oak? Depending on how the oak is used, it could change the taste quite a bit. Last time I was at Premier Gourmet (to long ago...) I picked up some Stone Oak Aged Arrogant Bastard. In this case...

R + R: Thanks for getting back to us about the issue.

I just got back from Peterborough. My brother and law was kind enough to pick up a couple of growlers of the Irish Ale because that's all they had. When he first mentioned the name I was assuming that it'd be a lighter stout, but it reminded me more of of an English old ale. The ale was dark reddish...

Vlado: Thanks for the reply: it echoes my sentiments exactly. I really was just wondering why the percentages were so different... no malicious intent or anything...

I'll be tying into my case this weekend for the real test: what it tastes like.

I just picked up my latest Southern Tier order (MANY thanks again to Roland + Russell for making this possible) and have come across more bizarre alcohol measurements... First off, Oat is listed as 11% on the bottle, but the LCBO stickers list the percentage as 9.1%. That's a fair difference, but no...

Most Texas grocery stores carry a pretty good selection of beer, at least in large urban centers. For example, when I lived in Houston for four months I found it easier to get Unibroue beers in Texas than in Ontario. As for specific breweries, it depends where you are. I know that Houston has St. Ar...

FYI: The LCBO at Cloverdale Mall in Etobicoke had it in stock this evening.

...which I just happened to have last night, from the previous private order. Simply. Amazing. Stuff. Too bad the Doggy Claws from the same order...

Did you notice that they want a "donation" anywhere from $2 - $100 to sign the petition ... nice try, but forget it. Huh? Where are you seeing this? I just went to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/nobeerstore/ and I don't see any mention of a "donation" anywhere. I saw the don...

I was in Vermont in March and can personally vouch for Vermont Brew Pub and The Alchemist. Both brewed great beer, but the food at the Alchemist was a lot better. The friends we were with also wanted to take us to American Flatbread in Burlington but the weather was awful so we didn't have time. The...

If your sole purpose is to go to Stratford for a great beer bar then you're probably visiting for the wrong reason... and you'll likely be disappointed. I grew up in Stratford and still visit family a few times a year. Beermat's response on tupalev's previous post probably sums up the beer scene the...
