The Bar Towel

Does anyone know where I might be able to find 10 in the Hull area? Educated guesses would be appreciated also. I have someone in Ottawa looking for me. He's been to two SAQ's, two dépanneurs, and a grocery store to no avail. I'm interested in the beer, of course, but I would really like to get my h...

Is this a weekly show? A show entitled somethinglike "Follow that Food" did an episode on Stella, again shamelessly Interbrew. The followed the beer from the field, through production, to a bar in New York. They did also talk about many of the other Belgian brews but seemed to be fixated o...

It was released on November 27, and I picked up a six-pack last weekend at The Beer Store.

I certainly agree. And, no doubt, this accounts for the popularity of Stella and Corona as well. However, I think there is something more basic here. I think there is a genuine desire for quality products, and this desire gets funnelled into these brands--though Hoegaarden, Guinness, and Newcastle a...

Well, it seems I've not much to do this weekend but post my thoughts here. Anyway, just throwing out a few ideas and seeing if there is any interest. I've only really been exploring the world of beer now for about five months. I've always enjoyed good beer, but never was really into it as a hobby/pa...

Hello: There's a show on A&E called "The Incurable Collector." They do segments on--surprise, surprise--collecting. If you're like me you, you probably not only enjoy good beer but gathering beer related merchandise. I know there are many of us out there. Wouldn't it be nice to see som...

Any thoughts on the 2001 release of this beer?

God bless Smokeless Joe! Though I still can't understand why these beers, so widely available in Quebec, can't be sold more readily here. Don't we live in the same country? Are Quebec's standards so lax that the LCBO has to ensure . . . whatever it is they have to ensure? Are people in Quebec (and w...

I don't know where you can get the Orval glasses in Ontario, but they are available online. I recently ordered one from globalbeer.com. Their prices were reasonable, but US funds and shipping adds to the expense. The selection, though, is great. A beer/brewery merchandise store in the Toronto area w...

Can anybody tell me why Unibroue doesn't have a stronger presence in Ontario? Certainly, some of their beers are available, but why not all or most. What about their gifts sets? Wouldn't it be nice to give a Canadian brewery set as a present or hostess gift? Okay, I'm babbling. Just curious (and fru...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I too have seen the taste packs. I was refering to the Vintage Ale. Sorry for any confusion.

On a related note. Is the Vintage Ale a 2000 or 2001 release? I found the 1999, Milliniem (sp?) release a few months back. Should I expect more of the same?

Has anybody come across these beers at an LCBO yet? If so, which ones? I've been to all the stores in the Hamilton/Burlington area, and I've not seen them. Do I have to trek to downtown Toronto?

Has anyone else been to Beers of the World in Rochester NY? I went this weekend, and it was incredible. We went to Rochester to visit relatives, and I was hyped about going to Premier Gourmet in Buffalo (which, of course, is unbelievable). Well, imagine my surprise when in Rochester my brother-in-la...
