The Bar Towel

drinking a scotchirish plain porter. Awesome beer, really hope the new owner can do something with this line of beers. The sgt major, plain irish, and corporal punishment are all great beers when they are on.

Great Lakes Miami Weissendunkel That is a fine beer. When I had it, it was like a black wheat ipa. Had a few coors light at the gf grandparents place. Once we got home I had a netherworld, and right now I am sipping a Lagunits little sumpin' wild. Awsome what pale ale. Has super notes of peach and ...

Great news - for those not following GLB on Facebook, they announced earlier today that the Canuck is going to be CANNED (473 ml) and is coming to the LCBO as a general list item, as early as Feb. I've had it at the Vic a few times in the past weeks and this is the best batch yet, IMO. An excellent...

I am not sure of the hours over the holidays, but I can give a little insight to what will be offered. In another thread they mentioned a RIS going on tap starting monday. They should also have a dubble on tap which is really nice.

I have given plenty of support to the reopening of Niagara's Best as The Syndicate and have had nothing but great things to say regarding Taps' seasonal beers. However, as long they are limited to one offs and nothing more exciting than their Red Cream Ale, Charleston Lager, and Premium Lager are a...

I have had the yakima glory, tumbler, and a bottle of little sumpn' sumpn' wild in the fridge. Got it a month ago and its been sitting in the fridge waiting for xmas.

had a 2010 bigfoot, jacobite, 2010 celebration, and fresh gonzo. All were tastinge excellent. Not sure I like the bigfoot. Still very bitter and over powered just about any malt flabovor to me. Gonzo is one of my favorite beers I think. Put the Bigfoot away for about 5 years if you think it is too ...

Drinking my first cascadian dark ale right now. Awesome stuff. In the past 2 weeks I have tried this and smashbomb for the first time, and I am very excited to see where this brewery goes. Great balance for a CDA. With a little roasty and chocolate malt complemented by an amazing citrus hop aroma an...

Also saw some box stream dark and handsome at the niagara falls ferry street lcbo this afternoon. Lots of all the seasonals there if anyone in the the area is wondering. the only one i didnt see was the st b 12.

Went to chancey smiths today on a little side trek during a family christmas with my dad. While there finally got to try smash bomb ipa and man was i impressed. It really reminded me of a more hoppy and fresh version of torpedo ipa. Those citra hops sure are tastey. Really nice stuff and I look forw...

Bought some orval today. Cant wait to try it tonight, it will be my first time.

I have learned to always play it safe and use a blow off untill after fermentation has quieted down. Hasn't failed me yet.

I'm curious Matt, what is your setup like? After the Learn2Brew event I'm sold on the Brew In A Bag (BIAB) method...any thoughts? In my limited experience, BIAB rocks!!! I just got a huge sheet of cheap muslin and doubled it up. I have a small wire false bottom in the pot (it's a recycled round mic...

Just had 2 brooklyn brown ales, and 2 ithaca flower power ipa. Now I am working on a pint of homebrew hefe. On deck is a recently bottled pumpkin ale, and smoked porter. Cant complain about free fights on spike either.
