I was more trying to note that I was really happy to see a notorious swill-maker producing a beer with more character, in the hopes that their regular drinkers might branch out a bit. And who knows, maybe a Keith's IPA drinker might try their harvest ale, and then see the Muskoka Harvest Ale and pic...

Haha, I just got my knuckles wrapped. Stephen, you are, of course, correct. In my post here I certianly implied I only thought it was good in light of it being from Keith's, and I would have thought it bad if it were from, say, Durham. I will take the blame for lazy post-editing. In my full-review I...

Alexander Keith's Harvest Ale
Got this from a PR company and was actually pretty surprised. I know I'm about to get flamed for saying it, but it's not bad at all. Review on TorontoBeerBlog.com
Yes it's not a killer beer, but coming from Keith's, it's a pretty drinkable ale.
Anybody else get a bottle?

This figures: first time in a while I actually get my act together and get a posting on Bartowel, and I get pneumonia. In the middle of the summer too. Anyways, sorry to say, we'll be cancelling this one, as I'm zero fun to be around right now, unless you like really sweaty grumpy people who cough v...

August Beer Tasting at Castro's - Sun Aug 15
Hey everybody, This Sunday, the 15th, we're doing our monthly beer tasting at Castro's Lounge, 2116e Queen St East, in the Beach. This one is a bit of a departure, we're tasting beer cocktails, to use the trendy term. Obviously, this event isn't going to appeal to hardline geeks, but if you fancy co...

@wittaker Glad you liked that. Forgot to mention, but we'll have the Australia v Germany game on the tvs (with sound on to boot!), and will likley hold the tasting till the game is over, so it'll actually be closer to 3:30. If you aren't planning on watching it anywhere else, come on down for 1:15 (...

Beer and Cheese at Castro's Lounge - Sun Jun 13
It's the World Cup!!! And nothing makes me think of International Football more then drinking beer and eating cheese. Okay, that's a stretch, but seriously, have you ever done a beer and cheese tasting? I don't know if there is anything better (in the workd of beer and cheese, mind you). So we're go...

Haha. I wish all beer drinkers had the passion displayed here on the bartowel. I can fully appreciate your concern, and quite respect it. I know you don't buy my (perhaps idealistic) belief in the goodness of publicans everywhere. Perhaps I just don't drink in sketchy enough locales. But be that as ...
