The Bar Towel

That list is almost an exact copy of last years'.

Christmas is ruined.

The Bills once again snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

Hang on a second here. If Canada has a beer drinking culture who do not know the difference between an Oktoberfest Maerzen and the yellow thin fizzy swill the corporate brewers sell, and the Ontario market consists almost entirely of consumers who are card carrying members of this Canadian beer drin...

It'll be nice to have the option to buy either. Agreed, 750 mL of 9% ABV la Fin du Monde (which they definitely will stock) packs quite a wallop. Whether either format has a functional advantage, I'll defer to the experts to explain.

I also noticed in their current beer push that they had some posters up on a UNibroue display with 750ml bottles pictured! Perhaps I'm a bit slow on this one, having ignored the summer releases until now....but I just did a search for Unibroue. LCBO shows both the 750ml Blanche and Maudite in their...

picked up a 6 of it last night and now i know exactly what you're talking about. hefeweizen with coriander and orange peel. a lot going on in there...very nice. the bottles look pretty cool too. according to the little booklet that i picked up at the store, they will be stocking bombers of blanche d...

noticed a few beers in the lcbo online system that i dont remember seeing before...most notably fullers 1845. but also mill st belgian wit and deuchars ipa. anyone know if these are new general listings or otherwise?

I once ordered a 6 and after the guy at the front requested it from the back through the microphone, everyone there could clearly here the guy in the back loudly utter an expletive that rhymes with puck. Apparently the funny french beer with the flying horse isn't kept in a very convenient location ...

It's a dark, complex beer with notes of dried fruit and spice. The brewery says four spices are used. Although they don't specify which ones, the most obvious – and traditionally Belgian – is coriander. There are also hints of orange peel and clove. Other possible candidates are cardamom and anise,...

according to the clerk when i bought a case on friday, it'd been 'flying off the shelves' since wednesday (when the article went in the Star)...apparently people were showing up with the article clipped from the paper and just pointing at it saying "can I have some of this please"...funny....

I noticed that the lcbo is now also listing the Fuller's london porter in a 500 mL can. Is anyone aware of whether the canned version will replace the bottle? Or whether it's a 'canned draught' version? Either way, it'd be interesting to do a side-by-side between both versions to see what, if anythi...

There was a nice article on TP in today's Star...

Has this stuff reached the stores yet?

That would be too bad.

I'm not holding my breath, but when I was at TBS last week I asked about Unibroue availability, and was told that they have "tons of all 5 brands" in stock...

I suppose it wouldn't be asking too much for more of the Unibroue products...750's of Trois Pistoles and the other ones that we used to be able to get would be fantastic. Chambly is just a few hours down the road for pete's sake. Saison Dupont was delisted without too much adieu. With that there are...
