The Bar Towel

I wasnt suggesting to intentionally age them either. More like a case of 'oh yeah, I still have some of that left' :) My "Wild Shakespeare Irish" Stout experience has been very different - mine have not aged well at all. Also, the Hazelnut brown goes south *really* fast. I also think the ...

Not sure if you guys know this but Monday nights at Cafe Volo is cheap pint night. That's right, it's not good enough that Ralph at Cafe Volo has one of the best selections of beer on tap and bottles in the city and, *more importantly to me*, cheaper than anywhere else. And never mind the fact that...

Officially confirmed. The 750's of Maudite, La Fin du Monde and Blanche de Chambly will no longer be available through the LCBO at the retail level. They will only be available in 6 pack format. :cry: Salut Is this an LCBO decision, or is this the first sign of Sleeman trying to change things at Un...

It's ok Bobbyok, I have an extra bottle that can help ease your suffering if you like :) Wish I was close by to pick up all these extra bottles that people don't want! My sadness lies more in the fact that I'm unable to get my sour fix as much as I'd like here in NS than being distressed about othe...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Looks like Molson wants those government perks all to itself. Moosehead is steamed that New Brunswick is giving Molson some major incentives to build a new brewery in Moncton.

Looks like I missed you, Peter, but it was great to visit Beerbistro (try the bacon) and meet a few of you this past weekend. The world needs more restaurants like yours Stephen! Wish I could have stayed longer.

Got to try a few of these while in Toronto for the weekend. The DFH 90 Minute was my beer of the trip. I thought the relative "balance" of this compared to Three Floyd's Dreadnaught, which I got to sample a few weeks ago, made it a much nicer and more drinkable beer. Both very bitter, but ...

If anyone bought extra bottles they'd like to sell or trade, I'll be in Toronto the weekend of November 13th and would love to arrange something. Particularly the Rogue Old Crusty, I2PA, RIS (was this licensee only?), or DFH 90 Minute. Hopefully there will still be some of these left at BeerBistro a...

Can someone refresh my memory and tell me which brands are included in the 12 pack? From Unibroue webpage: Mix Pack Twelve Bottles Unibroue Collection Including : Édition 2004 (2), Blanche de Chambly, Maudite, Fin du Monde, Raftman, Eau Bénite, Don de Dieu, Trois Pistoles, Éphémère Pêche (peach), É...

Ah, that explains it. I guess I skipped over that update to the front page. I had only seen the Autumn release forum thread. Well, that's better for me then. Now I only have to figure out how to get some Rodenbach for the fall, then Orval in the Winter, rather than both in the fall.

So, Orval is part of both the Autumn and Winter release?

well no, it's about $$$, which equals quantity. It was actually a really interesting article though. The note about what would happen if Molson got bought out intrigued me. I wonder how long it would take Sleeman, Lakeport, Brick etc. to pounce on the fact that neither of the two big guys were Cana...

On the topic of Moosehead, I keep seeing their Pale Ale (Red Label), does anyone know if it actually tastes like a Pale Ale? Nope, just your typical Canadian Bland, sorry Blond Ale. On tap in some places, possibly just here in Halifax, they actually call it Moosehead India Pale Ale to try and hit t...

Anyways, thats not even my point. We sit in this beer geek bubble looking at the consequences without looking at the big picture. In general, I personally dont disagree with laws that seek to improve the cleanliness of places where food is prepared, nor do I disagree with laws that seek to keep poi...
