The Bar Towel

Stop in to Rozi's when you're out by the Beer Engine - its only 5 minutes away. Its been one of the best bottle shops in the Cleveland area for years.

There is also a bar there at 4224 Maple, part of a complex, that received a good write up in the Buffalo News a few weeks ago called The Library. If I remember there was also another bar called that back in my old Mac days, I think it was in another locale though. Easy to get to, 290 then 62 south ...

Coles posted their lineup:

Oscar Blue G'Night
Oscar Blues Dales Pale
Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye
Lagunitas Censored
Ridgeway Pickled Santa
Etienne Dupont Cidre Bouché Brut Zymatore
Waiting on Ithaca's Casks

they might have one or two others as well.

has anyone heard any news on what beers or brewers will be there? Beers are still very much TBD. The beers below are extremely tentative but Bobby, the manager at Goodbar, mentioned that among others (~12 total for Goodbar) he was hoping to have: - Bear Republic Red Rocket - Oskar Blues Dales Pale ...

Man, I love those Quebec orders, without it Cantillon would be impossible to get as it seems to have all but disappeared in Buffalo. Yeah it's hard to come by. The only really interesting lambic I saw at Premier a few months ago was 3 Fonteinen Schaerbeekse kriek, but they wanted $30 a bottle!! Con...

Now, would calling the state daily to ask when you are going to get your license help, or not so much??? :) (Does Homer "but I'm Missing the cook-off!!!" Simpson dance in anticipation.) Probably not so much. We already have our representatives in the state legislature on that for us. :win...

Hey folks, Myself & a bunch of partners are in the process of opening a nanobrewery here in Buffalo, NY. Its called Community Beer Works. We will be on tap at Coles, Blue Monk, Mr. Goodbar, Blackrock Kitchen and Bar & Village Beer Merchant when we open. Our tap presence will be expanding fro...

They haven't done this in years past - I kind of doubt it'll happen this year. I'll make an effort to post what they should be pouring but a lot of the casks aren't determined until a few days before the event.

The 2011 Buffalo Cask Ale Festival will take place at both Coles and Mr. Goodbar the weekend of December 2 - 4th. As in previous years this will be a pay as you go event. Beers have yet to be determined, but given what has been available in years past I'm sure the selection will be top notch. Coles ...

Next time I will def watch out for Firestone Walker, and probably try to find a deal on Thisted Limfjordsporter and Hair Of The Dog ADAM. Ever have luck with case buys? Sadly HOTD does not make it to Buffalo. Ethan, the beer manager at Premier is good about posting to Ratebeer what has recently com...

Hey Bar Towel, The Blue Monk in Buffalo is having a Mikkeller Single Hop tasting on August 20th from 2 - 5pm. The facebook events page (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/event.php?eid=213217498726534) has the following details: Saturday, August 20 · 2:00pm - 5:00pm Blue Monk Buffalo 727 Elmwood Ave...

Don't know if their brewery is worth checking out, but the few beers I've had from Alpine have brought a tear to my eye. Their Nelson is truly stunning.

Hi there Ontario folk, Buffalo beer week is coming up from June 19 - 26th. Yes, it overlaps Toronto/Ontario Beer week. This is only the second year of the event but we have some cool stuff lined up and more will be announced shortly. Beer dinners, rare tastings & tappings, a beer & wine crui...

I tried the Gemini - it was a very strong, very hoppy ale and beyond belief expensive. $9 per bottle?! Someone once told the LCBO higher-ups that Southern Tier brews with solid gold fermenting tanks. Its been a while since I've bought one but I'm pretty sure that Gemini is at least $7 a bottle here...
