The Bar Towel

Hey Jesse, what did you think of the Trafalgar 3 pack? I tried it and found that all three seemed to taste the exact same to me. The off flavour was so overpowering that I could taste nothing else. I have tried several of the Elora brand and have not had a bad experience with them. The Strong Ale pa...

I'm actually not shooting the messenger here. Just stating an opinion as folks on this forum are encouraged to do. I appreciate knowing what new beers, good and bad, are coming down the LCBO pipeline. But like all other topics I'm often inclined to have a reaction which actually has no bearing on y...

Anyone doing anything fun for St Pat's? After working all day I am spending the rest of it with my one year old daughter while my wife is at work. We stopped by an Irish Pub ( Tessie McDaid's on Dundas ) and I enjoyed a half pint of Guinness but it wasn't appropriate for a little girl. I didn't want...

You are welcome to 'mix six' if you are shopping at the Magnotta Brewery. They also have a tasting bar if you want to try something out before buying.

... but I am worried that it may not be as fresh as what the LCBO carries. Anyone have any experience with buying craft beer from The Beer Store? Anothter option is going to the brewery - now located near Kipling and the QEW - freshness there should be good! If you want fresh... They were brewing t...

Great Lakes Green Tea Ale. The tea seems more pronounced than I remember it from the TFOB. The beer seems quite mild but fairly bitter. I am certainly no expert but I think it seems more from the tea than a hoppy bitter. I can certainly see myself enjoying a few of these on the balcony once it gets ...

I picked up a sixer at the brewery this afternoon. It was neat to see the progress made at the facilities already but clearly there is a lot of work yet to be done. The beer is quite tasty! I think I tried it last summer but it was on a day when I'd tasted a few more than I probably should have. Dri...

Nothing too special in my collection but I do have a DogFish Head 120 I am saving for the Daytona 500 coming up this month.

Viggo: My apologies. I had no right to make a comment like that. I would edit the post but since it is quoted up and down this thread I don't think there is much point. I am sorry and someday I hope we both make it to one of the fine beer events around here and I can tell you personally. The only pe...

Did someone shit in your corn flakes today or are you always such a knob?

I suppose I could have cut out of work early to drink beer but that seems foolish.

Last night I enjoyed:a Tankhouse, a Don de Dieu and a bomber of Double Bastard. This afternoon after not being able to get into the Victory Cask Fest I travelled on to Beer Bistro and had a Hophead followed by Arcadia Hopmouth Double IPA. Then it was on to C'est What for a cask Arkell and a cask Neu...

I arrived at 2:20 and was told they were at capacity. Hopefully next time they will sell tickets in advance or otherwise accomodate people who have been looking forward to this for months and travelled many miles to get there. I had arranged for childcare and made sure to have the afternoon availabl...
