The Bar Towel

Yesterday at Hungry Brew Hops, all draft from Sawdust City Gose - Good lactic acid character, but could use a tad more salt and fair bit more carbonation, it was nearly flat Golden Beach Pale - Nice session pale, lots of pine and orange zest to it, restrained malt with a bit of breadiness to it. Sko...

Returned to King Henry's again with a work colleague, they had 4 indie taps on as well as a few Granville/Creemore offerings. Great to see the Amsterdam Cruiser on tap there, paired well with Mango Chipotle wings

Another vote for the blue (or I just hate changes, not sure which at this point)

Thanks for all the electrons either way!

didnt have the opportunity to enjoy that one...speaking of Nelson Sauvin hops other than Alpine nelson, does anyone know of beers that predominantly use this hop, other than Hop Wired? I think Dunham's Leos Early Breakfast IPA uses it, but as I heard it, much of the 2013 crop was reserved for the N...

Yeah we've been discussing this over on the SOB board. Direct group buys are out, although Patrick from OBK has offered to basically act as a proxy buyer and get it drop shipped to somewhere in the GTA

Damnit, I thought we were doing good by recycling those plastic bottles into micro-fleece sweaters.

I generally tip 15-20% on the food only, before tax. Why on the food only?
