... I started a thread on our KW beer geek board where you can post what's currently on tap at the Kick Off, but they also update their facebook page regularly with info on what's new. Over-all I think its a fun idea to know what every place has ahead of time in order to make decisions on where to ...

Maybe we're onto something here. Sports bar beer that sucks and the sports teams that suck. So if BMO Field trashed Carlsberg and swapped in (your favorite local beer here), TFC would soon stop sucking. Ditto for any TO/GTA sports bar. Ditch the macros for the micros and the Leafs, TFC, and Raptors ...

Site builders provide clients with the necessary tools to do so. I think the better question is: are site owners (like our fa...

Picked up Mad Tom at the beer store @ 3rd. Line/Upper Middle Road. I couldn't find it on the display shelves. When I asked a staffer if it was in, he was uncertain on whether it had arrived. He did a search in the storeroom and I spotted it on the top shelf. Oddly, he handed me my sixer but didn't a...

I don't think this has been reported on Bar Towel, so here's some news from Molsons. Details available here . "Molson Coors Canada has created a new stand-alone division that will focus strictly on building its craft beer brands like Creemore and Granville Island. Called “Six Pints Specialty Be...

We had another great evening at Volo. A busy Thursday night with a packed patio and mostly full tables inside. Service was excellent and the food was truly the best I've had there. The lads and I worked our way through many of the offerings from the On Tap menu. There's something for all tastes, on ...

Just want to say thanks to the team at The Only Cafe. I couldn't get there until Sunday, but had a fine time. The weather was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and the beer flowed. I enjoyed the offerings from Neustadt Springs and the Wellington cask. Coming in from the beer wasteland of Oakville, I...
