Did anyone else notice that George Kash of drinking beer upside down fame is running for Mayor? Had to chuckle at that one.

As a 905er I don't get to vote, but I'm partial to Miller (not to get started in a firestorm of politics!)

Went in to the brewery today and enjoyed a sample, didn't really look to see what bottles were available but took a couple of quick pictures, saw Michael H. working away. Went to the bar/restaurant next door and got some shoddy service. My gf and I both felt like we were getting the shaft because we...

I heard that they had a bit of a construction delay but I will leave it to K to give an update on what that means for opening.

I agree that it is nice to hear about what the agents and Smokeless are getting. I wouldn't hear about most of them otherwise. Although it does leave me drooling most of the time, I need to visit Smokeless more often obviously! I have a Lucifer in the fridge as it happens, maybe I will pick up a Duv...

Went to L'Amere A Boire and Dieu Du Ciel this past weekend. Had a good time. We stopped in at Cheval Blanc but it was too packed so we left. I wasn't overly impressed with the decor anyways. Had a bit of what I think of as culture shock in terms of paying for drinks as they came. (See my post at htt...

Apparently I may have been given an incorrect date. It came up in discussion last night and apparently it is November the 7th now?

Was a good time! I was impressed. Anyone figure out what we were actually drinking? It was clearly not a marzen. Probably just their regular lager. Was not bad though. (Free always tastes a bit better eh?)

Driving down Front St. the other day and there was a big billboard for MGD. The caption read: "Mark your territory."

What ad agency missed the obvious reference to urine?!?!??

I emailed the Green Party upon discovering that supporting local beer and wine producers through taxation policies was on their agenda. (The premise being that it reduces transportation and thus emissions.)
