The Bar Towel

The Glutenberg stuff out of Montreal is solid. It's not exceptional relative to glutenful beer, but it's not bad. They have bottles of it at Volo, or at least they did a few months ago.

Nice, pretty excited for Goose Island Sofie. I'm a fan of that one, though the Matilda isn't as exciting.

I think this thread has gone on long enough and should probably be locked.

I really don't think the article is hard on the Rhino at all. It clearly states: "The Rhino Bar and Restaurant on Queen St. W. played no part in organizing the party but faced the ire of many at the bar that night." Sure, protesters were angry at the bar, but that's clearly not the opinion...

I'll be there. Sounds pretty great.

CBW is on my list of places to go. I always end up in Buffalo on Sundays.

I feel the opposite about Thirsty and Mis. I always enjoy hanging out there.

Yes, the bag is pretty awesome. Much better than other bags.

I think you mean growler.

I've purchased growlers from stores in the States before because they sometimes have different beers available on tap than in bottles.

It's not a purely local behaviour at all.

I don't see this as a step forward, at least not for my personal convenience. I'm never too far from an LCBO in the city, and the selection will be less, not more or different, so it's unlikely I'll ever be visiting one of these. I don't really have a problem with access to the LCBO, just a problem ...

Had an LCBO batch Tempest yesterday and thought it was excellent. Nicely roasty with a pleasant coffee bitterness. I didn't find it overly thin.

Yeah, I found this batch of Karma Citra to be really bitter and a bit boozy. Wasn't a huge fan.

Over Christmas dinner and pre-dinner:

Ithaca Flower Power
Rogue Yellow Snow
Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout
Beau's Matt's Sleepytime
