The Bar Towel

Is Fullers IRS still bottle conditioned? I hope so. I might be in the minority here, but I do miss those Bottle Conditioned ESBs and such we used to get.

Hey everyone Just wanted to get some opinions on of people use any brewers’ online shops and which ones they like. Still have never ordered right from a brewery. Had an insane pint of Greenwood IPA from left field tonight and was gonna order from them or maybe Merit. Just curious on the experiences ...

No, not bragging a friend texted me at 8:15 to say the HF stuff was up, but, yeah I got a couple bottles. For those who haven’t tried it in the last, it’s very typical of a tart funky Saison. You’d swear there was oak in there somewhere. Very winey but also dry and crisp. Short finish. Not like the ...

That’s just it - we all assumed it would be the big guys to play this game. Prime real estate in LC stores and advertising? That sounds totally aimed at small brewers, why would companies who literally own their own points of purchase be tempted by that? I would be surprised if this Loon Lager wasn’...

Oops...I quoted myself...see what I mean? Twilight Zone!

I honestly didn’t think Barley Days still existed.

What I find interesting is he’s actually (according to the star) artificially lowering the price - he’s going to provide “incentives” (of the tax variety I assume) for those breweries to drop down to a dollar. Not very “free market” of him, as now we’re going to subsidize big breweries so that he ca...

I’m not even gonna lie - couldn’t sleep at around 2 o clock last night and decided to check because I thought they might be up.

Well - nothing is certain until you get the shipping confirmation.

Anyone get any Weller 12 the other night? That was another nightmare.

I put mine in literally a minute ago. Got only 3 bottles cuz I didn’t want to be greedy. There was about 200 of each and now it’s literally gone in a minute?

I got my confirmation email but then did they shut it down?

...and 6% abv to boot...

Saison Dupont finally listed...still at the stupidly low price of 2.75. No stock yet.

So...been drinking Badlands for months. Was hoping to keep it quiet for a while. All winter they were distributing to LCBOs in Brampton and we were all loving it up here but we’re being kinda hush hush about it. Their stuff pretty much rivals anything in Ontario. I love thingsike Goblin Sauce, IMHO,...
