Re: Bar Volo 2.0
I give a lot of credit to Volo for breaking the mold on tickets for the releases. I think they came to the conclusion (which is something I've felt about local drinkers) that there isn't a huge market for advance ticket sales for this kind of thing. They probably do better and it's overall less of a...

The Gem on Davenport Closed
Haven't been in a while before it closed due to the fire but sad news to see a long-standing pub close. A fond memory of mine at the Gem was it was where I went immediately after I received my first-ever Bar Towel branded merch - some simply designed blue coasters. I stuck one under the glass at a t...

Re: Kalamazoo
So I did a fairly epic Kalamazoo weekend just past, where I went from Thurs-Sat (including a night hanging with Stephen Rich and London beer guy Cory). Although it may not be the most beautiful or cosmopolitan city, KZOO does have quite a nice beer scene with a wide range of interesting beers. I kno...

Reminds me of my old Toronto Bourbon Week events. Nice to see Henderson keeping the fire burning on that theme!

That's a weird one for sure. I have never heard that was a requirement. Hope all's good with Dan now.S. St. Jeb wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 8:48 am Ontario's booze regulator told a bar to collect names from take-out customers. Now it's backtracking

Re: Jasper, AB and Revelstoke, BC
Thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions. Spent 3 nights each at Jasper and Revelstoke last week and was a great time. Some notes for posterity: Jasper Is pretty quaint which is as expected as it's within the national park. Jasper Brewing is perpetually busy and has a decent lineup of house beer...
