The alcohol laws may be adding fuel to the fire but it's hardly the main reason for the protest.

Since we're all chiming in.. I have a single-hop Galaxy Double Rye that is almost ready to drink. Didn't use darker malts like most Rye beers do. Pale malt, tons of flaked rye, and some sugar. 13oz of Galaxy throughout (for better or for worse). This past Sat I did an American Wheat with Citra/Amari...

Was at Black Oak today to transfer and dry-hop my beer. What beer is this? Our club is going to be serving at Casbah's upcoming beer fest, as mentioned at the end of this thread: http://www.bartowel.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=8886 - we brewed three beers at Black Oak to make things legal, and one of...

Was at Black Oak today to transfer and dry-hop my beer, and swung by GLB afterwards to grab some Harry Porter and Johnny Simcoe. Was quite surprised to find a new Tank Ten offering, Robo Hop. Got the first six, with a canning date of today! Having one now and it's very enjoyable - not the juicy trop...

Okay, I almost never read reviews on BA/RB, but I feel better having done so. It seems I'm not totally mad. Pretty decent reviews, with only a few bad ones. Possibly there are by-bottle issues, and also some amount of preference involved. As an aside, and not trying to pick a fight, but Cale: if yo...

I really wish Ontario brewers would just learn how to make a style well and release it as is before going and barrel ageing everything. Especially considering most of the beers spend way too much time in those barrels or are blended poorly. I guess it sells though... I haven't tried this one but I w...

Page is gone! Wow. It's still there at my end of things. Hmm, that's odd. When you're in FB, do a search for JasonParkdale. You won't get a FB page result that works. That is, you will see www.facebook.com/JasonParkdale, but if you click the link you will get a Page Not Found result. Works for me. ...

How did the 2012 and 2013 Dogstalker Bock compare? I always wonder if bocks are worth aging. The 2013 had a sharper alcohol presence, the 2012 was nice with a year on it, slightly smoother. But they are quite fine fresh too. I was wondering how that turned out at the tasting. I had two bottles of 2...
