The Bar Towel

The Hefe is pretty good, I picked up a couple bottles to try on the weekend and will be going back again soon.

I wish a local brewer could shed some light on why bombers have become the go-to. Is it a shelf space thing? Profit margin? Ease of production? LCBO requirement? Or are new brewers just following the herd, since bombers seem to be one of the modern standards (the other being the much-superior 473mL...

Wow, that's an awesome deal!

Please let me know when this happens.

I can contribute as well...

Will do, just waiting for my parents to drive home with a few pounds of hops I bought, and hoping they bring a case of Jai Alai with them.

Cigar City anything and everything. Fresh Jai Alai is hella delish. Jai Alai was breathtaking. Making plans to brew a clone shortly. We went out for dinner one night and it was in the domestic beer list, $3.75! I thought it was funny as Blue Moon was on the more expensive imported list. I also trie...

Thanks for all the tips, it should be a tasty week. I'm now trying to plan a trip now to the Cigar City brewery.

I'm off to spend a week with the Costanza's at Del Boca Vista Phase 3 enjoying 4pm early bird specials... A week with my parents in Cape Coral, I need some beer to get through this. My Dad has been kind enough to offer to have the fridge stocked for my arrival, like a have some kind of reputation. I...

Interesting. I didn't think they were intending to be on LCBO shelves.

It will only be local stores to start with until they can increase their production.

Also, the swingtops were/are great for homebrew and I miss them. That's how I justified buying those beers. I still did get a couple Harvest Ales this fall, but I used to buy a lot more than that, plus all the other seasonals too. All I buy now from Muskoka is cans of Mad Tom, even that has been re...

Thank god, if only to avoid the confusion (but also because it sucks).

The name made no sense.

Light, hoppy, and inexpensive.

Slightly OT - Is there some kind of cheat sheet for where to find bottling dates on 6 packs? I think some are on the bottles and some on the packaging? Sometimes I stand there like an idiot flipping them upside down and around trying to find it.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that.
