The Bar Towel

Many of those users are bots trying to register. There are also a lot of people like me that don't post as frequent. Why? Because I post on other forums as well...too busy, perhaps enjoy fine beers but not even close as passionate as some of the frequent members. I enjoy whisky and wine just as much.

Arriving in Ottawa Friday afternoon but may only go on Saturday.

440 bottles, all sold out. Wah waaah. Welcome to the next frickin' age of craft beer in Canada, gentlemen. Yes, I went there yesterday around the time you posted this before 5pm. The guy said he didnt even see them there when he came in that day....lol I brother said they had 6 left an hour before ...

This is some bad news as I am one that lives on Stadium Rd. I enjoy walking home with a refreshing 2-5 in the brown box.

On another note, apparently their Sleeping Giant barley wine is releasing tomorrow.

Having it now, the posters above are right that the smoke is subtle. I am a fan of smoked beers.

I like my spirits with 40% alcohol and above!

It does suck when that happens. Sometimes it works the other way and the manager at your local store will deny the transfer request. They will if its a big ticket item and in your case 2 of each of those beers totals over $100. I need to ask my local store for 2x Amrut (Indian Whisky) from other sto...

Forty Creek Confederation Reserve.

Ola Dubh 18. This is some super friggin good beer! But I still dont know if its as good as a dram of the HP 18 that was in the cask before it.

Since moving to Alberta and the excellent supply of beer here I've found that I don't actually keep that much in the fridge, and I certainly don't have to hoard like an Ontarian :wink: Dammit now I need to rant. :lol: Yes I hate hoarding in Ontario. Its not just beer either, its wine and spirits fo...

DDC Rigor Mortis

Is this a 'post your fridge' pic thread? Anyway I just got 12 Duvels and a couple I&Gs in my beer fridge along with some homemade beef jerky...maybe a jar of sauerkraut....nothing to take a pic of.

Nice pics Torontoblue btw

had:

40 creek barrel select (Canadian whisky)
havana barrel proof (rum)
innis & gunn original

now having:
innis & gun winter beer


their winter beer (from the LCBO giftpack) i dont think is that good. I heard that the IPA last year was exceptional.

I will the 18yo first based on Highland Park whisky and pick 2 up in Aurora. Although some people think HP12 is a good balanced whisky, I dont care for it or the 15 or 16 (I think LC sells 15 now). The HP 18 and 25 are outstanding whiskies and probably top 5 single malt OBs I have tried. I guess the...

Follow Cass' lead, why not form a private import "consortium," get to know brewers and distributors outside of Ontario, while at the same time making connections within the LCBO and learning about the system, while at the same time drinking good beer! Hell, form a CAMRA chapter, or a beer...
