The Bar Towel

You are pretty much the perfect example of why I never post here. A class act all the way, atomeyes.

Wait, I don't think that's spelled with a "CL" at front ...

Look for this to hit the shelves (in most cases) Wednesday morning. Why? Because that's December 12th. Westvleteren 12 --- 12.12.12 --- get it? At least one LCBO manager has stated he will be limiting these to one pack per person, at least initially.

Once again reminded why I don't come here much. Hippity-Hoppity's drunken meandering spew now has the classic old Stranglers song repeating in my head: "What an old codger I am What an old codger I am What an old codger I am What an old codger I am What an old codger I am What an old codger I a...

I am always up for Cantillon - I still have a few goodies in my cellar, not sure what you are looking for.

Jon - I will be there with bells on (well, pants for sure). Let me know if this is confirmed and I will book the day off work. Congratulations to Cass!!!

Many people share your attitude, Derek, and I appreciate that, I really do. Up until maybe two years ago, I was one of them - with only 2 or 3 minor exceptions, I was not a direct witness to any of the things that people are only now beginning to be willing to post here that have been happening regu...

Seriously. I am getting goddamn red-faced angry thinking about the stuff I have seen, let alone the stories I have heard. How can you look in the mirror? I call on all Toronto beer folk to SHUN this idiot. You probably knew who I am talking about after five words of my original post. It's time to st...

Bear with me for a bit, folks. I don't propose to name names, but I am willing to bet most of you will get the drift here. For the past six or so years I have been going to the better beer places in Toronto, and apparently certain self-proclaimed beer celebrities in this city have made it VERY diffi...

I am really looking forward to this - although it looks like "there's only one thing I haven't had already" (heh heh, I kid, I kid - seriously, I'm not a dickhead and couldn't care less about that). But hopefully I won't have to drop any names to get a beer in less than 30 minutes 8) [/sar...

On the plus side, Mike has a special treat set aside for the Toronto crew on November 20th. I AIN'T telling - but I will say that I have had it before, rated it well over 4, and will gladly drink several glasses of it again!

(I really ain't telling)

Had lunch at Blue Monk on Friday - nice vibe, the food was terrific ... am really looking forward to this trip: my server was a very enthusiastic attractive young lady who is going to request to work that day - she wants to see what "a busload of Ontario beer geeks" looks like (my words, n...

I will be making my first visit to Blue Monk on Friday (November 5) - my sister is taking me to lunch! With luck I won't have to drive until about 7pm that night, so I should be able to have at least 3 beers for a change. I will report first impressions over the weekend, if anyone's interested.

Then this will pretty much 100% be happening - a couple I know are going to buy tickets, they are convincing another couple of people to join in - and I pimped it to a few people at Cask Days over the weekend.

Any update on ticket sales, Cass?
