The Bar Towel

Yeah, the tripel is completely out in most places - the nine currently showing at Davisville were all gone when I got there. Who knows if there will suddenly be hundreds of unsold bottles or if this was a very limited beer. I find it annoying that it is hard to tell how large or small these release...

Whats up with the vartripel? I work for the LCBO and in our system it shows little to nothing around anywhere. Just wondering if anybody can shed some light on this. This is the one I have been the most excited about trying.

I for one think your packaging is great Peter. No matter if people drink beer or not in the LCBO people always stop and look at Hoptical or Netherworld and 9 times out of 10 they walk away with the 6 pack. Oh, and the stuff in the bottle kicks a little ass as well. I look forward to Smashbomb at the...

Its expensive as hell, the shipping is insane. Its only worth it if your getting big quantities

People love to shit on Sam Adams. Probably because people see them as the "big guy" and this is natural (DFH gets it too) I think Sam Adams makes a solid line up with far more hits than misses, I cant wait to try Infinium.

yeah I know, it was Belgian. I'm awful with the whole quoting thing on here. I did not mean to misquote you sir.

Really?? I know a bunch of people who feel the same way as you, but I opened an 18 month old Orval last night and it was outstanding. I would even say better than fresh.

This is excellent news. Flying Monkeys definitely leads the way in Ontario in terms of envelope pushing and quality. Now, to add my two cents about Great Lakes. Yes, they do push the envelope no doubt about it the only thing is that sometimes the end result is a little lackluster. I think efforts wo...

Its not the best and it is a tad expensive, but I still dont mind it once a year. I can't hate on it.
