The Bar Towel

Is it just me (as a lover of German beers) or is the LCBO buyer biased towards British ales....or maybe it's easier to import from there. We see Adnams, Deuchars, Wells, Boddington, Tetley, Wychwood, Fuller's, Bass, Belhaven, St. Peter's, Mckewan's, Newcastle, Marston's....all with a selection of th...

Geoffrey and I got to try a lot of these for the first time in Denver a few weeks ago and I did as well during my visiit to Rogue 3 weeks ago...we're looking forward to everyone's reaction to any of these that you haven't tasted before so post those reviews! When can we expect to see them in LCBOs?...

I heard they were the original brewers of Conner's...not a bad beer before it went to the Brick....maybe they can't get some of the same ingredients....I find it hard to beleive it was the process...the OC brewey seems fairly spartan for equipment.

In general, IMHO, Old Credit is a marginal brewery on a good day. This was my attitude going into the tasting of this OC Pilsner...I had a Steam whistle and a Neustadt lager in the same tasting for comparison. I found the OC to be a fresher tastier beer and was pleasantly surprised. I realize it do...

"The prices of all beer products containing more than 5.6 per cent alcohol were raised following talks between the LCBO, the Beer Store and the provincial government." And right there people is the reason Ontario's beer consumer still wallows in the neolithic morass of regulated isolation...

Looks like "old school" chug. guzzel and hurl" to me...even in that regard this team needs training.

Sounds great Ken ....next time I'm in for the Nut Cracker growlers, I'll save up a steamer to "Christen" your executive washroom facilities

From my RB tasting notes: 650 mil bomber: Unpasturized. Poured very pale straw color...1 finger white foamy cap from a hard pour..fairly well carbonated......dissipated to a surface lace and sticky ring...nice subdued floral hop nose...some sour apple fruit notes. Starts brisk..fair malt and hop dep...

This Fuller offering is stark with delicious pronounced flavors...truly a great ale.....one that may have been over looked is the St. Peters summer ale which is a bit of a surprise.....very complex, 6.5% AVB, layered aroma and tastes...but understated and in a cask styled presentation (low carbonati...

I haven't been too fussy about the rogue imperial but this chocolate stout hit the spot and was verrrry drinkable....to me a hardy, high gravity or high hop beer is not overly useful unless it's drinkability is there. Thick, alcoholic big beers are nice....if you want a beer and not a few. Rogue did...

Looking forward to the Dogfish head, Fullers and most of all the Weltenburger bock and Orval.

Still have 4 Weltenburgers I cellared from last winter......they do age well and produce a bit more pronounced licorice tastes......still a lovely bock.

Had this on tap all summer at the Judge and recently bought some last of the bottles....a great brew that should be an annual seasonal......same for the nutcracker.
