The Bar Towel

I've been drinking some beers received in a recent trade from a Buffalo trade partner. The White Oak IPA and Red Army RIS from 42 North. I had never heard of this brewery before, but he noted it is a local favourite of his. The RIS is particularly excellent. I love it when trades include local favou...

Thanks for the replies. I’ll grab the Side Launch (always liked that one) and a few of the others. I already have some Bellweiser and Paper Tiger for him too. And I am stopping by Muddy York today for a couple.

I need to try a few more of these myself. I like a good lager but never seem to buy any.

Hoping those of you who drink more lagers than I do can help with this. I have a friend up from Florida on the weekend who wants to bring back some local craft Pilsners (and good lagers). What would you currently recommend from the LCBO? They can be traditional or not.

Cheers.

Sometimes being too lazy to proofread works out for the better!!

All Stars Bakery makes a Kvass. You can find it in Russian supermarkets and it is usually in 2l plastic sofa bottle.

Agreed. Best IPA I’ve had in a long while.

Stopped in to the Rainhard Heaets Collide release yesterday. All three versions were nice. I generally like, but don’t love their stuff. That changed with Revolution 8 DDH IIPA. Great stuff. January 25th canning date. Bonus points for being in a 355ml can.

I too decided to buy a few things from what is available. Other than CBS and KBS t...

There are a few confusing/odd formulations in your survey. “Dark” is not a beer style, at least not in the sense that others in your list are. What is an “Imported domestic beer?” That just doesn’t make any sense. In your list of “craft” breweries you have Better Bitters and Nickle Brook listed. One...

I love the regular SK this year - had the coconut and the coffee ones at the release/holiday party and I felt that both the coconut and coffee flavours, respectively, were overpowering to the already excellent beer. Perhaps with age it would be better integrated. I passed on the variants. I thought...

Hafis was Dead at 12:15. I’m guessing the SK variants last a bit

Another screwup for the CBS At Summerhill today. The Founders website said that it would go on sale at 9:30 and to line up at 8:30. It has since been changed to 11:00 on their site. The good people at the LCBO were willing to sell to those silly few who got here before opening so that we wouldn’t ha...

The best of the Ottawa area breweries in my opinion. Definitely a step up from BTP and Tooth and Nail. Sunsplit is excellent.
