I'd like to put the Winking Judge in a future article about beer bars--first I need to pay a visit!

Halfway through the festival, a group of people standing behind my table broke into a semi-rousing chorus of "O Canada." Was that Josh and his friends, by any chance? I was at the 2001 festival and this year's event was much better in terms of beer quality. The smaller brewpubs have really...

During my visits to Toronto, I've been to a number of Firkin pubs. Overall, they range from good to very good: they're comfortable; staff are hospitable and attentive; the food is a cut above typical pub grub; and most have NTN trivia, which I like to play. This past weekend, however, I noticed a di...

I visited Esplanade Biermarkt over the Canada Day weekend, and was impressed by its efforts to please beer lovers. The menu is the best-arranged and best-written I've seen (thanks, Biers4All, for sharing it online); and the "keg room," with dozens of barrels of beer visible behind a large ...
