The Bar Towel

Had a pint of this yesterday afternoon at Bryden's, freshly tapped.
What a great beer!

Try Jacoby's Biergarten, on Brush St, 5 min from the Renaissance Centre and Greektown. ( Safe )
German / European with a nice of mix of U.S. Micro
Nice draft selection (20 oz ) and bottle selection. Great food

I bought a bottle this week. My receipt said Elora ESB.

It tasted OK, but I won't be rushing back for more, not with the new releases waiting.

Too bad about Galeville Grocery. It's actually in Liverpool, a nice little town, just west of Syracuse. I visit Liverpool / Syracuse each year and if you're looking for good beer buys, there are a couple of alternatives: 1) Nichol's Grocery, right in the village of Liverpool, on 1st St, has a good s...

Discovered today, via LCBO Website, that this item has been discontinued.

Too bad. Too short a stay in our region.

Just had a can from batch J. Different hop presence again. More hops in the aroma and the taste

Fans of 'My Bitter Wife' will like this one.

This is getting to be one really good IPA

I went to this last night. Besides the food and wine, there was a great turnout from our Ontario craft brewers. Grand River; Pilsner, Lager, Stout Flying Monkeys; everything including Netherworld Railway City; Dead Elephant, Blonde, Copper Mill St; Tankhouse, Stock, and others Nickelbrook; Green App...

I think this thread should be under Beer Reviews. I've had this 3 times now and here are my observations about the beer and the price point. C'est What: Regular pint, $5.90 + taxes A very well made beer. Very hoppy and bitter. The 8% ABV shows, but just barely. Well Done Black Oak! Volo: Cask $6.95 ...

What a great beer
I like the Brutal Bitter, but this one is quite a bit better.
Wonderful aroma; grapefruit comes to mind. The taste is citrus, with pine on the back end. No sign of alcohol taste.
In my opinion, the hoppiest beer ever to hit the LCBO shelves.

Don't forget the Gold Crown Brewery, downtown Waterloo on King St.

Also, a short drive west, just off Hwy 7/8: Country pubs
In Petersburg: The Blue Moon--lots of Ontario micros and great food
In Baden: The Baden Hotel--more Ontario micros and great food

There are some great beer bars just off the Metro Red Line. At Gallery Place/Chinatown: RFD ( Regional Food & Drink ) just outside the 7th St and H St exit At Dupont Circle: The Big Hunt: on Connecticut, right across the street from the exit ( My fav ) At Dupont Circle: The Brickskellar: on 22nd...

Here's a 5 or 6 stop tour, easily done with a TTC Day Pass.
Start at C'est What, walk up to Beer Bistro.
TTC to Rebel House, Victory, & Volo.
Possible finish at the 3 Brewers ( since it is very new )

I spent a week in Pittsburgh; saw Crosby, Malkin & the Penguins 3 times. Now, have just returned from seeing the Leafs beat the Penguins and Steelers beat the Ravens. If you like Buffalo, you'll love Pittsburgh. In the Southside Flats: Fat Heads: 40 taps and amazing food. Smokin' Joe's: 60 taps ...

You don't have to go far for Ontario micros on tap.
Both the Baden Hotel and the Blue Moon ( Petersburg) have a great selection of Ontario micros ( from that part of the province ), as well as great food and a country pub atmosphere.

I prefer the ST over the DH, but they are both fine beers. Seems to be lots of DH available in Mississauga. Meadowvale has it cold for you. Does the DH remind anyone of the Tankhouse Ale when it first came out? This summer, I have had the good fortune of tasting Garrison IPA in Halifax , Corne du Di...
