The Bar Towel

Don't mean to put a damper on things but--working through the LCBO is one thing, but you'll have to convince the agent for Great Divide to do this as well. That is, the LCBO will contact the agent with the information, and it will be the agent's decision whether or not to go forward with the order. ...

I'm sorry for you loss, Perry. My condolences.

This is a dangerous time for you, when you will be tempted by the dark side of the Force. If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path, you will become an agent of evil. The power of the dark side is stong. Mind what you have learned. Save you it can. (TO EVERYONE) Told you, I...

For those that are going, how are you getting your tickets? It doesn't seem to matter whether it's at the door, or in advance, since the advance tickets end up with surcharges that make it $50 for 2 tickets anyway. Any concern about a sellout? I was able to buy mine at the door last year. Am planni...

So yes, I do need to defrost the sucker every six months or so... have a drywall trowel, hammer, lots of towels and a bucket ready and you're set! I think it may be fairly easy to damage the cooling element banging on it with metal tools, just as a general note to anyone. If leaving it open several...

I'm going with two other Bar Towellers. I'll be staying at the Adam's Mark. It's relatively close to the event, though nothing is really close to the event.

Cheers,

Innis & Gunn Oak Aged Beer is brewed by Caledonian Brewery.

I've converted hundreds of fridges over the years (at UC, Algonquin, F&M and of course for friends) and you might want to keep in mind that energy efficiency goes out the door with an old classic. They continue to work great and may never die but they use a lot of power. I'll check the Haier ra...

You fancy computer geeks and your quick Google searches. Thanks, Greg! I propose a new verb, "to clow." Definition: post a beer-related question or rumour to these forums so that Greg will google it for you. Usuage: "I heard there's a new brewery opening up in Hell, Michigan. I'll clo...

Always my favorite shade of black.

Question: how much blacker could it be?

Answer: None! None more black!

(Or something like that )

The Vermont Pub & Brewery in downtown Burlington is well worth a stop as well. Fine establishment. Magic Hat is a lot of fun to visit, but you can only buy growlers at the brewery. If you want to take some of the beer home with you, buy the bottles elsewhere. Finally, to plan your trip, go to ww...

Do we know if the same beers will be served on Saturday and Sunday? Since, I'm coming from out of town, I'll have to decide which day. It would be nice to see a list.

Cheers,

Joe.

I just have two comments: 1) How could anyone defame their products? 2) D'Angelo's lawyer is accusing the Union of "torturing" the statement? Oh, and just want to highlight the link: www.steelbacksweatshop.com (Now, we know what their secret ingredient is!) Legal Battle Brewing Steelback c...

If you are out of the country for less than 48 hours (even by minutes) they could charge you duty for a single bottle of beer. From what I understand, the length of your absence from Canada isn't measured as precisely as that when it comes to determining your personal exemption and/or any duties an...

to Gmonk: To other Premier-curious BarTowelers - I am not convinced there is a hard and fast number of bottles you can bring across the border, even with duty - I think it's a judgement call for CRA officers - if they think your xx bottles (24? 45? 144?) are potentially for commercial use - or are ...
