The Bar Towel

I'll take a decent beer in every lcbo for starters...I don't know how many times I've walked into the beach LCBO hoping a decent beer found it's way there, and walked out empty handed...they once got hoptical illusion and acted like it was the CRAZIEST thing ever.

I just picked some up at the kingston/victoria park beerstore. It's dated Aug 24, the rest were july. I tried it once before when it was first available it's better than I remembered, perhaps because I had a march batch last time.

I'm not so sure, the cost of living is 30% more here than where I'd move to... of course my beer budget would probably take up 25% of that, but I'd still be saving money. And I prefer the expertise of others.

The ones who are already drinking Bud and Blue for the sake of getting drunk are prime candidates for the craft movement I would think, because if they just tolerate the taste for the sake of a buzz, they might really like drinking something they enjoy the taste of, from a craft brewer, that will g...

"Waterloo, Ont.-based Brick Brewing Co. Ltd., for instance, has introduced a new low-calorie light beer to attract more female customers but is also mulling ways to tap Canada’s burgeoning new immigrant communities." It's too bad they're not thinking about brewing better beer. Instead they...

You're on a roll! You're sounding an awful lot like the guys you were making jokes about

How I envy you. Ontario doesn't have an IPA that is readily available, of consistent quality, and with exemplary flavour. In my opinion. But it's definitely better than it was even a year ago. I blame my high standards on my infrequent trips to Oregon.

I hear that. May I ask why your expectations were a bit high?

Sometimes service sucks, and sometimes you want to post about it on a message board. I don't see the big deal either way. Of course there's always going to be people that don't agree with you and make presumptions and judgements. That's the risk you take posting on the internet. It's too bad the guy...

Unfortunately I buy the majority of my beer at the LCBO, where I believe 95% of their beer selection is more pedestrian than Rogue. So I have to settle.

I don't go to Volo anymore. I can barely stand you people here nevermind in person
