The Bar Towel

Very weird. COVID is a shitty way to die.

Everyone, Please, if not already, get vaccinated and get your booster.

They're going to run out of announcements at some point!

That is huge…and I am very excited to see this for restaurants… But at the same time why does this government always seem to follow up bad news (COVID) with some sort of alcohol announcement?

I really like it… overall a better experience. On mobile, with this theme everything is much improved, just with they would make a line out of the whole post rather than having to tap the title.

I was surprised I hadn’t heard about this:

I think the forum would benefit from a more mobile friendly / mobile first template. It works on phones but is clear that it is desktop first. We don’t live in a desktop first world anymore :) . (Also allow real emojis) I wonder if breweries, brewpubs etc. may be willing to promote the bartowel foru...

I don't post much on Bartowel, but am a frequent lurker. Would hate to have the forums go away.

I'm looking forward to some travelling for beer. Will feel much better after my booster. Also, keeping to smaller places that frankly I prefer anyway. (who goes to a 30,000 fan hockey game for "good" beer? LOL!)

Also, if driving, Seaforth ON is a short drive west (30 min)... YOU MUST GO TO HALF HOURS ON EARTH.

Mercer hall is good, and great food.

The HUB usually has a better beer selection, but food not nearly as good

Beer, and drinkers rejoice... and chickens tremble!

New Glarus is incredible. First drank them when they were available in Buffalo in the late 90's. Since then unfortunately, they decided that they would only distribute to within Wisconsin. I've driven to Wisconsin several times to bring back kegs of Raspberry Tart, Belgian Red and Serendipity. Serve...
