The Bar Towel

I'm with Hogtown (The brewery address on Adelaide is the head office. We are contract brewing out of Cool) Basically it is a "soft launch" in that there isn't a specific event, but it is our first time on tap at a bar for regular sale. The brewery has only one beer right now, simply called...

Queen's Quay LCBO has them on the shelves. I was in today to get some Red Racer, and I found them sitting near the other summer premium releases. I took two – at least 6 left – not sure how many are in the back. There were two left about an hour ago. It's worth trying, but not something to get too ...

Sports bar, no question. I typically don't order the same beer twice in a row, plus I like sports.

That's a really annoying experience. And Len, while it's true that some LCBO employees are exemplary (like the woman at the Front/Jarvis store who did the opposite for me and was incredibly helpful and polite getting the Rogue from the back for me), but this kind of stuff definitely happens too. Fo...

All you need as a teenager to buy alcohol from the LCBO is a beard. Or a tie. Ive never been carded while wearing a tie. And I don't look 25. I had the same experience when I was 19 or 20 and wore a tie - I didn't get carded ever. I certainly did not look old for my age. When I was on vacation in A...

I haven't stepped foot inside a TBS in a year maybe. I don't even go to return empties because it will cost more in TTC tokens than I get from the bottles I can carry and it isn't worth my time of a 20+min walk each way carrying empties. I have 5 LCBO's within 1km of my place, so I get majority of m...

This is great news for Manitoba. Let's hope this passes.

Even markets in this country with arguably better setups (Quebec, Alberta, B.C.) all have certain trade offs for greater beer access (most specifically price). I don't think this is quite correct. The prices in Alberta are higher and the selection is better, so I agree on the facts. However, the fo...

I went on Sunday and I rated them 4>3>2>1. Of the other ones that I tried, I think the Black Oak Rye IPA was my favourite.

Hitachino Nest White finally showed up at St Lawrence Market store today. LCBO website doesn't list it yet though.

Hey, I have a business degree from WLU!

I find Unearthly to be too much on the sweet side for me. 2XIPA is more balanced with hops.

I've been to tastings and bars with Sammy. He's always been great to me and I've tried many beers I wouldn't have otherwise. I get that people have issues with him, but it isn't universal.

I've never even heard of this. Did I read this wrong, or have I broken a federal law when I bought from BC and AB home to ON with me? Not to mention the East Coast and Quebec. Yes, you broke the law. It is legal from the US to Canada if you declare at the border, but illegal from one province to th...
