The Bar Towel

Here's what I'm wondering. If I've tried other trappist beers like the St. Bernie's ABT 12, Westmalle, Rochefort, Orval, whatever...is the Westy 12 SO GOOD that it would immediately stand head and shoulders above all of these? I know taste is subjective, I'm just wondering and hoping (since I didn't...

That's all fine and good that the majority of LCBO staff were nice but that didn't help me get a case of Westy!

I'm sure anyone who was lucky enough to get one must think the employees are saints.

They just keep coming!

For shame to all those who have bought multiple packs, either through paying off others, or purchasing on different days. I've seen too much of this; it robs others of the opportunity to actually experience this, and all for the sake of greed (from jacked up selling on Ebay, or aging bottles upon b...

Apparently Queen and Coxwell is a NO GO now as well if you didn't already grab a ticket. They only had 36 cases.

So no chance at Lib Village? My wife is on the way there too.

Unbelievable how hard this beer is to get. I'd expect only slightly more demand if it was a magical live forever tonic.

Went to Bayview Village around 8:20AM. They handed out tickets for about 54 cases at around 8AM and had to turn some people away as the line up was bigger than that at that time. Out of luck for me. Will try Richmond Hill tomorrow much earlier or just skip the whole thing. So in Edmonton it sits on...

SOOO......has anyone noticed any gift packs sitting on a shelf in Ontario today?! Specifically GTA?

I'm just wondering if any stores happened to put them out later in the day and avoided the wrath of the crazed masses.

Wishful thinking but you never know!

LOL! The guy in the photo was the one who tried to get the homeless guy to buy him an extra 6-pack. I was heading for a cashier when I heard him say that but didn't get a look. You know, I very briefly thought about doing that since the homeless guy was behind me in the lineup but decided against i...

I shed a tear for all the people who truly wanted to grab a pack of Westy (including myself) but lost out to people who were simply there for the hype. Imagine the number of bottles that'll go to waste by people who have no concept of what a trappist beer/quad is supposed to be and spit this out in ...

Latest word from Queens Quay is that IT'S ALL GONE!

Unbelievable...how do SO MANY people all over the province know about this!? An article in The Star and word of mouth? Jesus.

Weston/401 opened at 9:00. 40 cases sold out by 9:15. Apparently they had people waiting from 7:00am. Crazy beer geeks. Ya I was there at 7:10, one lady was there from 6:30. She even drove by at 3:30 to make sure the line wasn't starting yet. I knew they would be gone relatively fast (like in one w...

This is pure madness!

Screw lists! It better be first come first serve!
