We just got in a few new draught. St. Ambroise Cream Ale and Nickel Brook HeadStock IPA. The Amsterdam tap is back to the Black Friday as well.

It's an exciting time for Smokeless Joe as we have moved up to College Street into a bigger yet still cozy space with an upper level and a quite back patio. I am returning after a year off and am very excited. We are not open yet but I will keep all of you informed as to the progress. Colin.

Hello again Bartowel faithfulls. Just wanted to spread the word on yet another Ontario craft beer added to our line-up. Flying Monkeys Hoptical Illusion was tapped only moments ago. Cool, fresh and delicious, I wish I wasn't working tonight. Oh well, come on down and grab a pint. Looking forward to ...

Another reason I object to this is our lives are becoming so automated. I hate all the jobs done by people that are being replaced by machines. Don't get me wrong, I love the terminator movies but I also like talking to people.

It seems to me that something is lost if you take away the bartenders at your favorite beer bars. All the great conversations and recommendations. So these places in LA where you pour your own draft so that means you have one maybe two taps to choose from? Sounds pretty lame to me. Do I get a clean ...

Hey there. Colin here again. I added another draught to our line up today. We just tapped Wellington County Dark Ale. I thought it would fit in nicely as we didn't have any traditional style dark ales. Please come by any and all if you can. The more interest we get in craft beer the more I can wrest...

So things are slowly getting a little better at the Rogue. Last week we replaced coors light with Mill Street Tankhouse Ale.

Hey guys and gals, long time since I've posted. It's Colin here ex of Smokeless Joe. I've recently moved bars and am now at The Richmond Rogue (Sherbourne and Richmond St East) based on the fact that I live across the street and know the owners. We have a new food menu out this week and a great 2 fo...

I've got a few new ones to tell you about. We just tapped a fresh keg from Church-Key, it's their Rosemary and Ginger beer. Pair up a pint with a heaping bowl of mussels and you've got a match made in heaven. Also got back in our Petrus beers: the sour/tart aged pale ale, Old Brown and Blond. Wittek...
