The Bar Towel

I was hoping to pick the brains of the bartowel crowd. I want to get a nice hoppy beer in for my small superbowl party. My only concern is my guests might not appreciate, or even like, DFH 60 IPA or Southern Tier IPA. So my question is what's a good beer that's a safe bet? I was thinking maybe Cree...

hopefully this thread about beer can hang in there!

go beer go!

but then they would have to sell it at $22 a bottle!

the John By has been drinking like a champ this season. Im about 20 deep on my first case but I have a case waiting for me at my local LCBO. it may or may not be a "true" imperial stout but it is a very good stout however you look at it.

im confused, where did this come from

going to my wife parents house with some Mill Race Mild, and London Porter. my father in-law always makes a kick ass super-bowl stew so I always bring some sessionable dark brews. when this tradition started 5 years ago i would always take a 4 pack of guinness but 2 years ago it was 10w30 and last y...

this BGB is different then the same vintage i enjoyed about a year ago. the sledge is very tasty and when you mix the sledge with the beer it makes for an awsome impy stout. the coffee is all gone but the chocolate is just begining to come out. if i had another bottle of the 07 id let it go another ...

I had my first of this years batch the other day and to put it simple its a damn fine beer. The chocolate and roasted malt up front is very porter-like but the dark fruit and light spice adds complexity. Really nice stuff from this brewery lately.

tonight ived had a Gosser Beer (new rating), a Upper Canada Dark (last from a case), a John By (new bottle, damn hoppy stout), and now im sipping a homebrewed Wild Ale, my mouth is full of grapefruit and funk!!

Yes, but presumably it'll only be available at the brewery store.

(I'm not sure if they plan to keg any of it).

even still it will be worth a trip to get some or you could mail me some

So last week I got a PM from Jamie Mistry (at the Amsterdam brewery), saying that he was interested in attempting my doppelbock recipe and he requested some more details. Needless to say, I was ecstatic! They've got the ingredients together with no compromises and they're actually milling it today,...
