Re: What to do with the Bar Towel Forums?

I've only been here for about 5 years and post very infrequently - but I actually still visit the forums often to read up on anything new that is posted. No feedback from me, but definitely still appreciate this place. Hopefully if you do make changes, whatever they are, they still accommodate lurki...

Re: Muddy York Brewing

Stopped in yesterday for some beer. Wanted the Roller Boat and Storm Glass IPAs but they didn't have any even though the website shows them as currently available.

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

The current Monogamy Simcoe release is drinking very well. It's so incredibly fresh with a nose that is incredibly floral. I didn't actually know Simcoe hops could be this impressive. The one in the bottle shop at the moment is Mosaic, no? https://www.instagram.com/p/BJBRHzygWDE/?taken-by=bellwoods...

Hey Everyone, On August 4th starting at 5pm, Redline will be doing an 8 tap feature at Bar Hop (King Street) to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. Clutch will be the only core beer on tap - the other 7 taps will be seasonals/one-offs/new releases. I'll post the tap list here when it's finalized. Hope...
