Re: Bandit Brewery

I did a tour of the facility and assisted with an interview with the brewers done by the Albino Rhino about a month ago. I tasted everything they had and most of it was pretty good with Smoke on the Porter being a standout. I'd go back, especially knowing how good the location is with surprisingly l...

Re: Sexism in beer labels in Ontario

Everything is offensive in one way or another to specific groups. Why was it the right thing to change the name of a burger? I don't agree with you at all. Half breed? really? I'm a freakin mut and I don't give a rats rear end. Why was it right for that business to give into a complaint that has equ...

Re: Sexism in beer labels in Ontario

If you do think ethics and sales are the same, build an argument to convince me otherwise. In this specific case until you become the majority your argument is essentially moot. The only way nickle brook knows you're the majority is a drop in sales that they can tie specifically to complaints regar...

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

Wow atomeyes turning this into a full blown witch hunt. Good luck in your endeavours. I'm done with this and to be honest to show my support I'll go to my local LCBO today and pick up some of both and I'll enjoy the beers with my wife and daughter maybe even in the same room too. Life will go on and...

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

I've got all the sensitive people's nickers in a knot and I'm sorry that has affected Nickle Brooks thread however it's important to speak your mind as clearly as possible.

I'll back out of this conversation now and allow one of my favorite breweries to have their Bar Towel thread back.

Peace

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

Discussing how misogyny is subtly ingrained in all aspects of society is an important conversation to have. People don't have to agree. They don't even have a responsibility to have those conversations if they don't want to. But if anyone wants to actually have that conversation, can we do it witho...

There is no mistake to own up to. You're entitled to your "opinion" but you are not judge, jury and executioner. Get off your high horse. you can't admit that your opinion's incorrect, can you? like, zero ability to look at info people have laid down at your feet and maybe consider what t...

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

prior to Ben's blog post (and maybe partially inspiring it?), i complained to NB (via twitter) about their cans and how bad they were. i received an email back from a woman that worked with NB. it was relatively tone deaf, if i recall correctly. like, "sorry but not sorry at all" tone dea...
