The Bar Towel

I find myself avoiding any Ontario micros that people don't like on RateBeer That is an absolutely ridiculous stance to take - and that's coming from someone who actively contributes to ratebeer. You'll miss a lot of good beers my friend, but we all get to set our own boundaries I guess. Remember t...

Sounds like a good use of fridge space.

Where is the Lion Stout from? Never heard of it..... From Sri Lanka (Ceylon) http://ratebeer.com/Beer/lion-stout/3061/ Now a regular item at the LCBO, I asked at Cooper St. I find I can drink at least two of these (8%) so easily but then I'm ready for a nap. Best enjoyed AFTER you need to drive som...

I remember not liking the Iron Duke (not a real stout) too much, but want to try Wellington's other stout.... Wellington has never claimed that Iron Duke is a "real stout" (as opposed to a "fake stout"?) - it's a strong ale, and always has been. They also made an Iron Duke Porte...

Not to be a spoiler, there are too many nice beers available now to risk change on something that gets indifferent reviews. I'd rather have six Sinha Stout for the money. I find myself avoiding any Ontario micros that people don't like on RateBeer, because I've bought some sixers lately that I've co...

I had one again last night and, forget the low price, this bottle of Sinha(Lion) Stout rivalled the St. Bernardus Abt 12 I had the other week for sheer flavor. Fantastically deep-flavored wih chocolate and coffee nuances, I don't know how they make this much flavor with just barley malt. Is this a p...

the reason you can't get those Bells/Kalamazoo beers in Ontario is because the small brewers are given way too much hassle by Ontario over small-order distribution... so the labelling isn't bilingual, who give's a pig snot over a small order No metric volumes indicated, no ABV indicated.... that's ...

Yes, our big country is a major pain about tax, so a large order would be tantamount to tax evasion for these border dorks. Why can't they just let it go and pretend it's all the same country, not like the guy was out to wreck the national economy buying all that beer. Quite the opposite effect real...

I thought that works for canned beer?

I am toying with the idea of bottling the Corporal Punishment and putting it into the LCBO system. I would appreciate any feedback you can give me before I make my decision. Cheers! Perry Tell me when and where. I could sure use some more SMIPA too. Last time I checked there were only 10 at the Upp...

You know he's right, it is a gem and I recently gave in & got one more case for the cellar. It's a crazy good deal I think.

Ahh, beer...

Skillful, artistically imbued qualities, made by hand and/or with great care or ingenuity. Applies to all real, good beer. BUT many brewers are outright lying in their use of the term "craft" (not to mention the much-abused "premium beer" descrption.) See definition no. 2 here: ...

We are nothing if not pedantic, yes?!

I'm convinced Steelback is some sort of elaborate money laundering operation. Yup, me too but it has to be a real beauty to justify the bizarre presentation we have seen to present. It's a horrible stereotype but I was wondering that too, I admit. How the hell can they afford billboards for SB Tang...

Wow, good tips there, joeycapps. Now I feel motivated to spend some dough in Buffalo! (Of course Tronna is much farther away, you've got it good in the Hammer.) I liked Premiére but I find that area of Buffalo kinda dull in a suburban way. So your tips for upper New York state (and the duty issue) a...
