The Bar Towel

My understanding is that it is contract brewed at Wellinton County and reasonable to put on their banner. AFter all, Ratebeer has set it up accordingly. However, Beer Advocate has asked for more info as they said its not a Wellington Brew but a new brewery called Headstrong based in Guelph. They go...

I can't speak for Perry, of course, but I would bet that he is doing his porter as a labour of love with very little of the business end coming into play, except perhaps trying to cover some of his expensive. If we were to do anything, I would think the only feasible idea would be on a break even ba...

To get this back on a BEER THEME.... I've been doing my research/planning for the trip, and I'm starting to get more excited about the beer than about the soccer :) I'm heading down w/ 3 friends who are also into beer as much as footie... Both the Arbor Brewing Co, and Kalamazoo Brewery Co and lite...

I'll be bringing a firkin of Captain Cascade, a 6.5 %abv ale with "sufficient hops", the variety used should be obvious. BTW: Thanks for buying those 6 packs, I appreciate the support ( and my daughter needs diapers!) I am tinkering with the idea of brewing and bottling one batch of a new...

Big Hole Headstrong Pale Ale?

Do you think it will still be on on Saturday or Sunday next week?

I have come across this other beer related event I will share with you. Enoch Turner Schoolhouse presents an illustrated talk by Craig Heron, “The Working Man’s Drink: A Look Back at Beer in Toronto.” Enoch Turner, who built the Schoolhouse, was a prosperous brewer from the 1830s to the 1850s. The ...

And Blue is a Pilsner.

Now, what the hell am I going to do with a case of Blue Thunder? Well, you can save me a bottle. I can't WAIT to try this bad boy! (Yes, I'm serious. I really need to find out if it's as bad as I'm expecting it to be.) Done! I know exactly where you are coming from Greg. I really want this to be th...

What kind of idiot complains about the lack of availability of Blue Thunder? Ouch! Now you've made them think that there is a huge demand for sh*tty beer in Ontario. There is a huge demand for sh*tty bber in Ontario. Anyway, who knows, Blue Thunder might be really good. I'm going in with no preconc...

Well, I finally got frustrated in my search for Blue Thunder, and I emailed a complaint to The Beer Store. Essentially, I asked why couldn't get more than a "don't know" answer when I inquired about the availability, especially since the website listed the beer as available at the storesI ...

Well I reread both my posts and I certainly didn't mock Joe. People get so damn touchy on this board... Jon, your posts were civil and informative and I don't think anyone was insinuating otherwise. Don't be so damn touchy :-) I hope my post wasn't interpreted as mocking Joey. Granted, I did engage...

I am not a vendor or dealer, I am just a huge fan and I am curious to know where I can buy this beer. Sorry for any confusion.

No need to apologize. Welcome to the site.

As for availabiltiy, see my last post.

Joe.

Joey, Joey, Joey... First, I'm not this Joey. This is another Joe (though I'm also known as just_another_joe in some music related forums). Second, and don't take any offense to this Joey, your post reads a little advertising copy. I'm half expecting the next post to read, "why yes, I'm the ne...

I managed to get to Volo this weekend, and was quite impressed. The beer selection is excellent. The staff, friendly. The prices, quite reasonable. All in all, a fabulous place for a brew.

Somebody's tracked it down - there's already a rating for it on Ratebeer: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/steelback-blue-thunder/44516/20399/ Anybody want to take bets that this is a Steelback troll. They are getting a little wiser. He rated Tango, but was careful not to overrate it--just gently sugge...
