The Bar Towel

On that note, bottled early August. Not bad for initial release of a California product. nearly 2 months old eh? yeah, "not bad" for an LCBO release but not fresh enough for an IPA. Learned a huge lesson in early August from visits to Tree House and Trillium. I bought a few super fresh IP...

Probably because the Grapefruit one tastes better.

my bet: date codes were higher up on the list

Sierra Nevada Trip in the Woods barrel aged Maple Scotch Ale 750ml 9.8%abv $19.45 Nineteen bucks, though :o ... think I'll pass on this one Oh it's worth every cent. If it were in 3 x 250 ml bottles would each be worth $6-7, definitely. The aromas and the substantial body of this beer make it worth...

Does anyone know when the Saison Dupont will hit the shelves? I have been travelling for a while and hope that I have not already missed it. Don't know when it will be on the shelf, but you haven't missed it yet. Still waiting.... Did I miss it? Maybe it will show up in September ... just in time f...

I've ordered from: Dominion City, Sawdust City, and Blood Brothers. All did a good job. I only have two issues ordering direct from breweries: 1. Delivery costs add ~buck-a-beer :wink: :wink: (or more if you don't get a full case) ... to already premium priced (i.e. expensive craft) beer. 2. Stale b...

If you pay $120 to go to this event and you feel you got your money's worth, then you got your money's worth. I can't see myself feeling that way though. Most I can drink in 3 hours is 6 pints - maybe. That's $20 a pint. Yes,l there's great/rare beer but I can pop over to Lewiston and get 15-20 can...

I can't think of any other Ontario crafts without some form of date code. LOL Plenty of Ontario crafts WITHOUT any form of date codes... The most loved of them all - Bellwoods - doesn't use date codes!!!! Others I've had of late without dates: 5 Paddles, Little Beasts Brewing, Town Brewery, Blood B...

If that is how you judge your drinking habits, you live a sad life. Also I am an accountant. You are the reason I hate the stereotype that is associated with our profession. Just to make sure you're right about me I googled the definition of accountant. Here's what I found: "drives 80 Km on a ...

Desperation? or a brilliant read of his base/supporters?


never thought I would ever see a "Conservative" Party promise something so interventionist/socialist/anti-free market.
