The Bar Towel

The following packs will be available starting in summer 2010, as part of LCBO's increase in mixed packs. Ontario Craft Brewers Discovery Pack A brand new pack will be available for summer 2010. Mill Street Mini Brewpub Will be available again, this time, containing two beers not normally available...

Stone Hammer Dark and Maple Red Ale. Really enjoying the former, not sure about the latter. Where's the maple?

Philly has crazy beer selection throughout the city. Even the airport has a kick ass beer selection that tops most places. It's just a city that supports good beer everywhere. Yeah, it might just be a Philly thing. When I went to some Cubs games in summer 2008, Labatt Blue was the best beer availab...

While she should be checking if a customer requests, 99% of the time, she is right. I don't doubt it Len. I've just become sceptical at this particular location (Wonderland) because they've had stuff sitting in the back when they've told me it's not in the store yet. On a completely different note,...

Not surprising the consummate pros at the 'BO have no listing or stock levels for this item yet. I laughed really hard when I read this. Yesterday when I asked a female clerk if she could check in the back for the Kellerbier shipment, she gruffly replied "if it's not on the shelf, we don't hav...

Just placed my order for this. If any of the London Bar Towelers are interested in splitting the case, send me a PM or let me know at Chancey's!

The year's first batch of Green Tea Ale was brewed today (I think our brewer's still finishing up actually), and we've made some tweaks since last year. We're confident it'll end up with a much more pronounced "tea" flavour, and much closer to what we originally intended. We've also adjus...

I'm excited to try the Hopfen Weisse, Rosée d’Hibiscus, Ginger Brew, Raspberry Ale, and Kolsch. Underwhelmed to see Christoffel, Edelweiss, Summer Ale, and Pump House returning, even though they're all good beers. And why buy the Edelhell when you can get it at The Beer Store and on tap at several b...

Fuller's London Pride and Porter. Excellent, tasty, and affordable session beers. Great fall backs when there's nothing new or interesting at my local LCBO.

Also, I've heard that DDC is selling five new beers in the LCBO this summer, and Rosée D'hibiscus is just one of them. Can anyone else confirm/attest to this? I've heard a buzz that the LCBO will be doing a special DDC spotlight release, and it will be considered a test run for other brewery spotli...

Is the Hopfen-Weisse Brooklyner-Schneider or Schneider-Brooklyner? BA has them listed as separate beers with slightly different ABVs. Also, I've heard that DDC is selling five new beers in the LCBO this summer, and Rosée D'hibiscus is just one of them. Can anyone else confirm/attest to this?

I've noticed a difference as well. The draught is spot on for an English Pale Ale, while the canned version is just okay. For $1.85 a can, though, you won't hear me complaining. Separate listings are warranted, but the Wellington ratings should be merged with the Grand River ones. Three listings for...

Picked up a sixer of this yesterday at the York & Ridout LCBO in London. The status of this beer seems to be in limbo right now. It hasn't been discontinued, and full cases keep popping up at random stores (there were 24 at my location). Anyhow, it's still drinking lovely despite the July 2009 p...

So let me get this straight - The Beer Store is selling a flavourless light beer that appeals to the masses? I don't believe it!

Given the bad reviews of Belhaven, I'll probably go for Boxer Lager or Wildcat instead...
