The Bar Towel

My brother-in-law and I sat down last weekend, and did a side-by-side of the 12, 16, 18 & 30. We had a bottle of the 40 on had as well, but after the four, we really didn't think we could truly appreicate the 40, so we left it unopened for now. At the end, we both agreed that we liked the 12 the...

Southern Tier Creme Brulee

I picked up their little "trend report" booklet the other day. In small writing at the bottom of the last page is a note saying "This publication paid for by the suppliers". So the "trend" is just whoever gave the LCBO the most money. Nothing to do with what consumers a...

My favorite brewery, hands down. And the Plowmans is my favorite beer. Period.

I'm very glad this is my local!

Speaking of such, I purchased a John By Imperial Stout the other day, and it was completely undrinkable. Horribly infected. Hopefully, this is addressed as well.

Tequila

I haven't bought any Unibroue from the LCBO in a long time. TBS where I take my empties carries Fin du Monde, Maudite and Trois Pistoles, so I usually get a six pack for a nickel or so. Make the guy who grumbled all the time he was counting (and sometimes arguing over) my bottles work even harder to...

I would like to see Corporal Punishment restored to its former glory. That was a really good beer four or five years ago.

I'd have to go with Grand River. Indeed, if faced with the even scarier scenario of only have one BEER ever, I'd pick the Plowmans. I know GR doesn't brew as many styles as some, but what they do have are well made, lots of flavour, and most have a low ABV (which I prefer, though the current trend s...

This is an awsome beer. Last time it was avalaible, it bought a case from R&R. I haven't tried this batch yet, but I just I'm looking forward to it.

Tree Hop Head.

I got a case of Rochefort 10 from him a month ago or so.

I saw this as well, but this year I am not giving Trafalgar any of my money, for all the abuse and dissapointment they have given me in the past. Yesterday I had a bottle of the Bock, which was given to me for my birthday by a well meaning, but mis-guided friend. The lable was way above Trafalgar st...
