The Bar Towel

I don't see what you guys and all the brewers are all bent out of shape about. Don't you know 4 out of 5 Ontarians approve of this benevolent offer? http://www.digitaljournal.com/pr/2429680 "This is not a lukewarm response. This is clearly a very popular proposal with Ontarians," said Poll...

To celebrate the 10000th post in this thread I just opened a 120 minute. Good night.

That last post makes me think -- the more off-handed you can make your beer purchase sound (because you mainly went there to shop for X and Y housewares, you were dining etc) - the less likely the Customs are to get specific about the beer. Right there. Them: "Anything to declare?" Me: &q...

anyone know if you can get kegs from Ryan's Party store in Port Huron? I would be looking for some obscure brands from the breweries that they offer (ie: Sierra Nevada Celebration / Bigfoot, Breckenridge Vanilla Porter, Hopslam, etc) Would you have to make arrangements with the brewery sales rep to...

I can tell you I've crossed at Sarnia many times with 30L kegs of Bells, Founders and mostly Shorts to dispense from my kegerator. However with my Nexus card I can simply fill out a paper declaration and drop it in the little box at the booth and have the tax and duty charged to my credit card witho...

A trip to Columbus, OH and some IPAs I cant get across in MI.
Shipyard IPA
Brewdog Hardcore IPA
Bear Republic Racer 5
Bear Republic Hot Rod Rye
Avery IPA (in a can) nifty!

Surely it depends on the caliber of brew. I made the mistake of saving a DogFishHead World Wide Stout for the swan song of our annual Post-Christmas/Pre-Newyear tasting (image below). I came to with a quarter snifter of clearly the best Imperial Stout in Lambton County at the moment and a semi-clear...

An update: Just got back from Wolverine with a 30L of bell's two hearted - $89

whatever happened to the BBO? that was pure genius. Ha! Vindication! I have an ongoing argument with my friends about the very existence of this glorious invention before our drinking days (I'm 29). None of them can believe such a thing was ever created. Must have been early 90's? LGD bottles I bel...

thanks for the info, I will let you know how I make out. Where do you get the 1/4 kegs in mich?? I get them from the wolverine wine shop in Port Huron just north of downtown on the main drag. You could call them up and talk to somebody, a couple guys there know their beer. Tried to order through Ry...

Basically yes. Or find a local rep. I'm from the Sarnia area and used to drive to London to meet the Mill St. rep at his house and pick up my kegs. He once managed to get tankhouse onto a tap at a local bar and even delivered to my door a couple times. Alas he was let go a year ago or so we're up sh...

Another quick trip to Port Huron, MI Sprecher Black Bavarian Schwarzbier mmmmm.... Arbor Brewing Jackhammer Old Ale Bells Two Hearted IPA Then a DIPA showdown Founders Double Trouble Bells The Oracle Both remarkable brews, but The Oracle may be the best DIPA I've ever had. Mega piney and citrusy but...

Just got home from a beer run to Ryan's in Port Huron, MI.

Enjoyed tonight:

Dogfish Head 90 Minute Double IPA
Dogfish Head Punkin Ale
Shorts Huma Lupa Licious IPA
Bells Oktoberfest
And a Founders Imperial Stout



Time for bed.
