The Bar Towel

The answer to Ontario's tap situation seems to lie once again in the hands of our all-knowing provincial government which, in its infinite wisdom, treats draught beer separately from all other packaged beers and has only granted 4 import licences to 4 corporate entities so they can control and take...

I apologize in advance if this has been noted elsewhere, but Erdinger Dunkel has arrived...I'd pretty much assumed it would be a no-show again.

I saw the De Koninck packs last night and they didnt contain the Winterkoninck as mentioned in this thread. Just the blond, tripel and 2 of the amber.

I love that exclusive belgian ales pack. Fantastic deal IMO.

Slightly disappointed that the Maredsous has a faux metal rim. Of course I still intend to pick one up. Tho very nice to look at, the faux metal rims are not really ideal for regular use. The Westmalle on the other hand is perfect for routine use, unpainted rim and nice weight to it. Not sure if any...

Nope, it's a tall straight glass which was out in the UK about 5 years ago!!!!! I was looking forward to a new glass this year but already have this one And a very nice glass...

Perhaps if it had just been advertised as '$4 half-pint / $6 pint' a pointless thread could have been avoided. Other than gasoline and a few other things, volume discounts are ubiquitous folks. The details specific to draught beer are irrelevant. Now get off your computers and back to the business o...

Is the Westmalle out? It's not showing anything other than the future gift pack on the LCBO website when I look for it.

Short, non-lecturing about reading the thread answer: Yes.

I hope you manage to find it despite the lack of LCBO e-guidance!

Has anyone tried Sam Adams BL lately? It appears to have changed significanctly. Far lighter in colour. Similar flavour profile, but muted. Certainly less bitterness. The label says 'brewed in Boston, MA and CIncinnati, OH', but I don't recall whether that was always the case, so I'm not sure whethe...

Did it scan at all when it was at the cash? It's still not in the computer system, which is probably one of my biggest peeves with the LCBO because it makes me feel like going out in search of something is a total crap-shoot that more often than not results in disappointment, and also outrageous an...

that was pretty sneaky of westmalle dubbel to just show up unannounced, unplanned for at my local LC on a friday...

Happy Weekend!

I've been rather impressed by both this and the Great Lakes Pumpkin Ale. However, I found the SA version to have achieved a better balance and harmony of flavours, especially compared to earlier editions (early 2000's, where the spice was too pronounced IMO). The only 'negative' is that it is border...

At the gift shop at Forquette Forchette in Montreal they had gift packs for BDC, TP, Maudite & LFDM containing two 341 mL bottles + glass each. I picked up one of each naturally...very nice glasses, classy packaging.

I didn't realize this was on the general list. Sweet.

It's not GTA, but there were probably at least 60 bottles in the main Barrie LC. This location normally has everything that the LC offers, all in a walk-in refrigerated room.

will drinking DFH60 make me younger, wealthier and more attractive?
