Keith's and Premium Prices....

I will go on record as saying that I don't mind Keith's. I know it is not anything special and can easily be replaced with any of the other macro products (like 50, Export, etc.), so there is no way it should be considered a "premium" product. As much as Labatt wishes in its advertising (a...

Personally, I find that it is alright for waiters/bartenders to receive a less than minimum wage basepay since the majority of their actual take-home comes from non-declared tips. That's the way it should work since they do so much of the hands-on work. If they don't provide good service, then they ...

I remember the Heuther Hotel... A little crowded when I last went but it was pretty decent... Anyway, I took a look for Sinha (Lion) Stout at the Wellington Road, Covent Market and Ridout locations in London and didn't have any luck... I received some strange looks when I mentioned that I liked stou...

It was quite a while ago (probably about 8 years ago), I just remember liking a lot of Wellington beers (mostly ales) a lot and not really enjoying the Iron Duke nor the Upper Canada Rebellion dark. True, not stouts.... I think I do recall the Iron Duke Porter so you could be absolutely correct, but...

I haven't been there yet... Where is the Lion Stout from? Never heard of it.... Murphy's Irish Stout has been hard to find but Fuller's Porter has been doing a great job in replacement... I really am interested in finding how the Macauslan's tastes and how it compares.... I remember not liking the I...

A fellow Londoner, awesome! I didn't see it at the Covent Market location but their selection is pretty slim.... Where's your fav tap selection in the city?

I have a great fondness for stouts... Where is this one from? Which do you consider the best from Canada? My favs are Fuller's London Porter and Murphy's Irish Stout but am looking into Macauslan's and Wellington... Any others?
