The Bar Towel

Hi Peter, I've had a thought regarding this unfortunate turn of event and I was wondering...Is it possible that the product was rejected due to bad timing? I mean, I was reading an article that many television stations were pulling episodes of the Simpsons that referenced a nuclear disaster or Tsun...

http://i.imgur.com/A6HwE.png Brilliant...I kinda dig the low-tech design. Truthfully, we are were disappointed that LCBO fullfilled our expectations. We were hoping that they would support the craft movement. We all feel a little censored. Not to mention the amount of money invested in the brand.....

Peter has admitted on these very forums that he hid many 420 references in the packaging and he wondered if the LCBO Social Responsibly people would notice them. It looks like they did. Maybe that was a bad decision, in hindsight. Nope. Can't be it. We'll just blanketly make shit up, but there is n...

Thanks guys....every little bit helps!

Peter, Plus do post the beer stores where this is available. I will most definitely purchase cases of the stuff to show my support. Is there any way we can vent or anger/disappointment regarding this decision in a meaningful way? Ken I promise to post all of the beer stores before we release it. FY...

That is terrible news. Do they give any reason as to why it wasnt socially responsible? You would think that they would give you a list of ways to make it conform to there standards. Thank you for continuing to try and change beer in ontario. Yes, the LCBO stated the name would have to be completel...

Rejected by the LCBO today for Social Responsibility reasons. It will be released to micro-supportive Beer Stores in 4 - 6 weeks. We will be giving Molson and Labbatt $2600 for the sku listing and $280 or so for each store we list at. It hurts. I'm sorry, Peter, that's gotta sting. So incredibly ri...

Called the LCBO twice this week. No news.....it has taken longer than Hoptical.....must be all the 420 stuff they are looking for.

Staged additions to keep the yeast happy to that strength? It was an awesome party. As always, Milos was a great host! Three of the four Everest experiments were released. One was censored. Derek, you are partially correct.... although we prefer use the term "pulse fermentation." There wa...

Smashbomb still stuck in SR (Social Responsibility). I hope it graduates soon. Ha ha. Is it the name, or the 'addictive' hop flavors? I'm glad our LC can invent so many things to do, we probably feed a small city with the extra jobs this must create. Do you think SR will find the 420 references?

Smashbomb still stuck in SR (Social Responsibility). I hope it graduates soon. FYI - We are about 6 weeks to market from the approval date.

Yours in brewing,

It was a bottle. Garlic may not be the best descriptor, but it was definitely off from other bottles. I ran it by someone else too, they found it strange. Great work following up though! I just tried one more recently and it seemed improved. I just got Netherworld carried at my work, so as soon as ...

I'll check into the garlic note tomorrow on the Jan date....was it keg or bottle? I just have to ask?
