Put it away grub. Not too often that you get an opportunity like that one.

I like the warnings for rating a beer low, that has previously had nothing but high reviews. I think it would make me automatically question if I got a bad bottle, in which case I shouldn't be reviewing it. It could also be a beer style to which I am not accustomed, or don't like, in which case I wo...

Fuggles, I'll tell you what. Keep that bottle cellared for me, and I will pay you a 5% rate of return. Smaller of course than you would see from any other investment, but, you already spent the money.. I will pick it up in 6 years, and give you $2.90. That was calculated by the Royal Bank, so please...

I lived in T. for almost 10 years, and have been to many places with good, and not so good beer. I would go to a place with not so good beer before I went to C'est What again. The service was slow, and rude. I can understand not having attentive servers, but if my drink is empty for as long as it to...

I went to the LCBO on King St. in Cambridge on the way home tonight, and I am sure glad I did. They received 12 bottles today and I was good enough to help them with the shelf space issues. I just finished a bottle, and was very impressed. I really enjoy Stout and Porter, but I haven't been drinking...

The email I received from them was that it wasn't going to be available at all in bottles this season. That was in the fall, and I haven't looked since however.

I know that Conrad is a girls dorm.... I lived at WCRI on Phillip St. for a few years. I was trying to be funny, which really is a stretch for me.

TBS is terrible for buying beer. I haven't been in quite some time, other than to buy for my dad and sister when they come to visit.

That said, 70 Weber N. isn't very damn far from Conrad Hall, and TBS shows that there is some Trois Pistoles there. ;)

My wife just got back from the LCBO. She brought me back 10 bottles of Thomas Hardy. She either did something wrong, or is trying to butter me up for some other reason....

I better not have more than 1 until I find out. 2 at the most.

I feel the same way about drinking Imperial Stouts. So much so that I plan on going to the Castle for dinner and a few drinks Friday. When I was last there, they still had Wellington IS on tap. I will be there with my wife and 2 daughters, small blonde talkative girls. Feel free to drop by our table...
