The Bar Towel

I was at Joe's last night and they had the Gueuze, Rose and Fou'Foune.

Glad to hear it went well.

Nice work Dave. But that bar needs some Bar Towel coasters!

Here's some info about it from Adnews: SLEEMAN BREAKS FIRST GROLSCH ADVERTISING The first Canadian advertising campaign for Grolsch Premium Lager began late last month. The beer is distributed by Sleeman Breweries of Guelph, ON. The campaign, created by doug agency of Toronto, consists of radio and ...

This would be much more interesting if the story also said that the beer would be sold in Loblaws stores...

Would love to go, but alas, I cannot make it. Here's the info if anyone's interested:

One other thing that is likely in jeopardy: I remember reading/hearing that Unibroue was entering the distilling business. That will probably never see the light of day.

I wonder if their annual general meeting, scheduled for April 22nd in Chambly will still take place?
