The Bar Towel

I'll be taking the VIA with some buddies on Thursday. Touring the festival on the Friday... looking at the list -- looks like an early Saturday attempt as well. Looking forward to this!

WOW ... going for the first time -- as an attendee and not behind the bar at a booth. That is an impressive list.

"Bud Light Lime "Straw-Ber-Rita" " ???

How many line extensions is that ? I've lost count....

I think I will wait until next year for Bud Light Lime "Straw-Ber-Rita" Platinum in a sleek wide mouth 750ml can.

The Saint has been "Can"onized!!

Pale Ale cans are now at Summerhill. At least 100 LCBOs to follow.

Thanks! Any chance of a list of what places are getting those kegs? Where do I send my thirsty taste-buds? I just found out from my colleague @McAuslanUnicorn (twitter) that the Winking Judge will be the first to be pouring in an Ontario bar. There are only 38 kegs to go around -- so most places wi...

Hi folks - Erable will be making its way to a few pubs and restaurants by the end of this week. Definitely Barque will have it on tap soon -- when exactly TBA. On a side note - our Pale Ale cans will be on the LCBO shelves - hopefully by the end of the week as well. #331264 - $2.75. Though it isn't ...

Does Labatt have a microbrewery in Mississauga?

I thought they tried to pass off Keith's, Rolling Rock and Shock Top as microbreweries to the masses?

It is my favourite beer, especially after a night of trying various styles of beer - it always seems to be my 'finish beer' to top off the evening. Looking forward to seeing 'her' again...

I picked up a couple today at the tiny LCBO at Eglinton & Wincott. There were lots there. Enjoying one and then saving the other.

@ Jeff - regarding the StA there were a few stores that stockpiled a bunch of cases fairly late in October. I find the cloves very aromatic in Sept & Oct. I had an LCBO manager tell me they buy a case for their guests and serve it at Xmas time - as the spices blend quite nicely. I tried it - she...

Just had a fresh one a few days ago. I am biased but it is pretty decent! Will let you know when & where & how it is sold in ON.

I was at The Bent Elbow on a stormy Friday night. Quite a fantastic craft beer selection - European and local. Very good bottle selection as well to complement the 22 draught lines. Cask to be functional this week. Their motto : "Food, Friends... and Fine Beer!" -- I partically had a good ...

Peter McAuslan told me "as the beer ages, the carbonation goes down and takes on a beautiful port constitency". I am pretty sure that batch was brewed and bottled in eary 2009 - so that bottle was aged for 4 years for you -- and you didn't have to pay extra :D . I have some in my cellar an...

I am sure there is a Shoeless Joe's around there but I would recommend "The Black Dog" -- not very craft beer friendly ... but pretty big space and very much a pub. They are located near 401 - close to where you are staying...

Very sad news.
