A handy video on using beer to resolve any kind of conflict

Last time I was there I heard the words "Black tea beer".....maybe another specialty coming down the pipe?

Open up the July issue and go to page 15. Its a good sample of Canadian beers that we in Toronto will not likely ever see.

Edited to add I've had Fin du Monde and Propeller but thats it!

Our curling team is having an off-season get together...anyone know a good or just passable pub in the downtown area that has a table top shuffleboard game? Kind of an odd request but I didn't know who else to ask.

I left at around 7:30-8:00 and it wasn't there then. But winning a t-shirt and reduced prices was definitely good!

The sage-spruce wit was particularly good.

This is the funniest microbrewery website I've seen.

I used to brew beer at Select Brewing at Mowat and Dufferin ages ago (mostly from syrups, but I did one all-grain) and it was always good. Some of the recipes were theirs, and some were my own. The owners were very knowledgable and they carried good ingredients.

It's long gone though....

How about a ginger porter? I made one at a brew-your-own place a long time ago, using ale & dark ale extract, light & blackstrap mollasses, ginger and lots of honey! Very nice

Sounds yummy!

Anyone know what the ETA is on this? I looked at it a couple of days ago and they don't look that close to being done. Anyone in the know as to what they have planned for this brewpub?

Save some for me....I'll be there Saturday

For anyone interested in Miller time....http://hotair.com/

Garrison Brewing from Halifax is pretty good. Their coffee porter is the best I've ever tasted and the nut brown is very good as well. But stay away from the Jalapeno Ale!
