Last night was interesting in that it was not only about the beer. Team Hamilton ventured out of our "beer" comfort zones, and decided to go for dinner at a Korean BBQ place called Cho-sun-ok. The food was delicious. I had the Bibimbap, Sean the BBQ Eel, Cale the Pork Bone Soup(came in a c...

Even if it's expensive - if you're hungry run next door to popeye's wolf down a three-piece, and head back over for some Fermium on cask! Or suck it up and help defray the cost of making one of Canada's best beer destinations even better. Suck it up? Sounds like a full load of flapdoodle coming fro...

We've had it on tap here a couple times at the ship. It is pretty brown tasting and also pretty sweet. But mostly brown.

It is nicely spiced but also quite sweet. I like it a lot, but only a half pint at a time.

This thread is still going. Cool.

I still feel sorta the same. I'm not as much as a beer geek that I used to be.
Don't get me wrong, I still drink and love the beer, I still go to the bar, I still try to turn people on to craft beer. I am just not fanatical like I used to be.

Re: Style is not everything with food, Bellwoods!

I enjoyed Beer Bistro a lot too, but it was like businessman central when I was there last and the place seats 9 people so it has a cramped feeling. The fries are awesome, and it is the only place you can order a quad and chug it, and the staff thinks nothing of it. You mean the bar area seats 9? I...

Most of their beer sucks in the first place. Who is going to pay 15 for a 6 pack of Trad Ale? Anyone that would pay that, deserves to get ripped off!

i don't often drain pour stuff I buy listed here, but Cannery Squire Scotch Ale was definitely out of this world nasty for me. I've had a few scotch ales before which I quite enjoyed but this tasted nothing like them. It was like drinking some kind of industrial strength rat poison. Did any one enj...

Cheers,

It is here in Hamillton and is a cask pale ale, and that is all I know.
