The Bar Towel

xingu straight from brazil.

drinking this now, my 1st offering from grand river.

very nice beer but i wouldn't really place it as an ipa personally. seems much more like a hoppy west coast amber to me but i'm not complaining, i love drinking a fresh local beer.

well done grb!

love Rogue, looking forward to the release.

had a beauty boil over today with burnt hand to boot, it will all be worth it though when im tipping the first pint back!

picked some up from chbs and this will be my first year, can't wait for a fresh hop pale ale.

found this a little too sweet and cloying on the finish but otherwise a nice beer.

i don't often drop $9 on a bomber but this was well worth it and i'll definitely pick it up again.

can't see it being real but pretty funny nonetheless.

simply amazing.

made a chocolate vanilla porter last week, we'll see how it turns out.

yeah i always go blow off tube now.

Tests results have shown that shaking carboys/splashing wort do not get O2 levels anywhere near high enough. Wish I could find it online (I have seen it before), but the results are published in the new Yeast - A Practical Guide book. I have one of these - http://www.homebrew-supplies.ca/viartshop/...

i got a lot of smokiness/burnt flavor in this beer. the aroma of it reminded me of walking into Tim Horton's before the indoor smoking ban.

surprised to hear the negative comments towards the mill st. barley wine. i was always under the impression it was one of the better barley wines around.

anyways, look forward to trying some of these beers as i've yet to get into barley wines.

haven't received my feedback but i'm patient.
