The Bar Towel

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

I wish we could get Two Hearted here. I have a Quick Beer video trip to Kalamazoo in March and I'm trying to get an interview with Bell's. Since they're now owned by Kirin/Lion I guess the old reasons for why they never came to Ontario – supposedly Larry Bell refused to deal with LCBO – don't apply...

And another, this one visiting Forked River with a barrel tasting from Dave.



Final episode in London hopefully coming on the weekend with the final spots in town.

We didn't touch St. Roch, but it seems to be the traditional shopping street with some nice dinning, bars, and coffee shops. Highly recommend Quebec City, but similar to another table at dinner that I eavesdropped on; It's an awkward distance. The flights are expensive (relative to distance), the t...

Thanks for sharing an update! I used to have a client who was a sponsor of Carnaval so I went for a few years. Always a great vibe and enjoyed exploring the funky bars along Saint-Jean, which it looks like is where the places you went to were as well.

Very happy you joined!

Any recent visits to Cleveland? They agreed to a Quick Beer video so will be heading down there in early May. Never visited before!

Kalamazoo confirmed they would like A Quick Beer video so I'm heading over there in early March. Will be interesting to check it out, besides going to the Bell's bar I have not done a single thing of anything else there.

You got that right. I usually don't stress about beers coming and going but that's one I will miss. I'll probably buy the mix packs when I'm driving through Buffalo in the future now.

Hope Greg made a buck or two off of all that work!

Thanks for sharing!

It’s funny you mention about English, when I was in Ecuador a couple of years ago I communicated with a bartender using Google translate on our phones and showing it to each other. It did the trick!

I saw a couple of tweets (x's?) from Max Morin (Godspeed) but he didn't name names so I wasn't sure what he was referring to.

$12 for 4oz from a can is wild.

There was a '23 release from doing a quick search, but I don't think any came to Ontario.

The original Stouffville site would have been awesome. Right in the community, historic (old) building, easy to walk, right on the Main st "drag", near other retail, restaurants, etc. This new site is bland, industrial, relatively far from where people live ... but I guess the rent (or ow...

Thanks for sharing, I'd never heard of them. But then again, long gone are the days where I can keep track of everyone in Ontario!
