The Bar Towel

When I'm camping (backwoods especially) I prefer my beer distilled and preferably of the single malt variety.

Oh I forgot to mention about Screaming Beaver...

We added Oak Staves into the aging tank, so the whole batch was oaked.

I found the malt & yeast profiles to be similar and I thought they were both delicious...but I'm quite biased!

I'm loving the Vrienden, too, and I'm super super happy with Screaming Beaver. The vanilla from the oak smooths out the bitterness sooooo nicely.

Harry never worked at Beau's and i'm not sure why, but he's had a hate on for us since day 1. To my knowledge I've never met him, and hope to keep it that way. What I don't understand is why he goes out of his way to try every single one of our beers, when he knows he is going to hate it. It is actu...

I can see me in that picture!

What a list, this year is going to be over the top! So Cass, where we meeting up?

There's gonna be 8 of us from Beau's heading down. Beer and Taco's, here we come!

I don't think that customers understand the power they have at the ...

We snuck a keg to Ralph at Volo...get it while it lasts!

I'm glad you are digging the BR! Pub Italia has it...it looks like Play has changed their minds about carrying our seasonals (boo!), but we'll be adding a couple accounts in the next week in Ottawa

Everybody heading up to Mondial from T.O. should take a one hour detour and visit Beau's. Make sure you introduce yourself!

There still is a black watch outfit operating in Montreal. I had a buddy who was part of it...he always had some very interesting stories to tell.
