The Bar Towel

Indie Ale House's Breakfast Porter is pretty good, and regularly available in growlers and/or bottles. I remember enjoying Bellwood's Lost River, but it's been a while since I've drank it. Availability is also sporadic (as per most of their releases).

I had it earlier this month at Bar Hop. Similar to the original, fruit is there and not too overpowering. If you like the original, this one is definitely worth a shot.

I once tweeted Indie Ale House saying I'd go there more often if they posted their current taps more often. They replied with plenty of snark....and no current tap list....ah well, it was meant as constructive criticism! I live across the street from Indie, and would go more often that I already do...

Junction also updates their site, but it really seems the only adequate way to find what's in stock for most breweries is Twitter. It's honestly the only reason I use Twitter these days.

Cool! What were the beers available in growlers this evening? Surely the samples aren't just three-quarters of one ounce though, are they? Definitely not any more than an ounce for sure, but not tooo bad for 50 cents. On tap at the moment are Amsterdam Starke Pilsner, Mill St Distillery Ale, and Gr...

I checked this out after work today. It's staffed by 1-2 employees (first doing tasks, second engaging customers). Samples are 50 cents for about a 0.75 oz pour, plastic accepted even for such a small amount. Growlers are in the fridge to the left of the fill station, and next to that is a pretty de...

Not going to be available......first casualty!

Huh, what happened?

I found it simply okayish... The smoke flavour seemed a bit too artificial or an afterthought to me, but even so, surprisingly drinkable.

Went here last night as well, worked my way through their taps with sample pours. The pilsner was definitely astonishingly well done as mentioned above. I also really enjoyed the stout, even though it was nothing fancy. The dark saison was also really well done. Everything else to me was average or ...

This is on tap at Barhop right now. Anyone tried it? I tried it Monday night there. A lot more on the tart/sour side, peach isn't too strong but this was my third fruit beer of the night, taste buds might've been mangled. A lot more emphasis on the Berliner Weisse style than the fruit. I really enj...

Sounds yummy, and nice hip hop reference (Kendrick Lamar). Shame I won't be able to get out there.

actually, $8 for a barrel aged porter is pretty solid if you ask me. considering no ones bats an eye at bellwoods' $13 500ml barrel aged offerings and most other BA bottles that hit the lcbo are $12+, i'd be surprised if many felt this was overpriced. now whether it's any good is the real question,...

Pretty much.

I'm a regular, and you probably know me by now. I'll be there!

I tapped out at 12 oz, gave my friend 4 oz, and ended up drain pouring the last 2, couldn't do it. I'm also gonna submit to the novelty of the sriracha beer tonight... I'm scared...
