Re: Burdock
Great spot. Last time I was there they had seven of their own beers including a fantastic West Coast Hoppy Pilsner, a Saison, a Grissett, a Hefe.. and IPA... it got a little blurry. One of the nicest brewpub systems I've ever seen. Food has always been great for me too. Plus if you're trying to trac...

Re: Jester King in T.O.
Start time has been changed to 6pm. Thanks for the heads-up. But they seem to be open for regular service starting at 12...? Wonder if they are doing a quick shutdown at 5 to reset for the event or if you can stake a claim to a table early and ride it out. POST EDIT (26/8/15): Jester King Tasting w...

Re: Summerhill Growler/Craft Beer Destination Store
I haven't been to summerhill all summer. Is there any action in the old Timothy's shop to suggest that this is on track for an August opening? Last time I was by the construction looked well underway. The wall between the LCBO and the Timothy's was partially taken down and replaced with a tarp/temp...

Re: Duggans and their beer
Is Duggan's also Mascot Brewery? Does Mascot Brewery brew at their downtown location or do they just contract brew at the Duggan's brewpub and rebrand other Duggan's beers... A picture of them brewing on their instagram looks like it's a Duggans... can anyone fill me in? https://instagram.com/masco...

Re: Habits to be nano brewing
Sadly I can't make it tonight, but I will try to pop in this weekend. With that great of a tap list, it would be awesome to have some taster option available. I wish more places did that. The Only Cafe does it best. Even when they're busy they very happily do it and only charge $10 for 5 5-oz pours...

So I think the tap list for Friday and the next few days should be: Habits Saison (New World Saison) Habits X Liberty (Smoked Saison) Habits X Indie Ale House (Farmhouse Ale... not-really-brett Trois and Claussenii mixed fermentation) Habits X Indie Ale House (Jarrylo Dry Hopped Saison) Amsterdam Lo...

Re: Habits to be nano brewing
Shameless plug/announcement. Eventually we'll make a proper blog for this stuff, but for now Bar Towel works! Tapping some collaboration beers on Friday. Should be a bit of fun and should last into the next week. First time having four of our taps on at the same time. Hoping to not have to relinquis...

Re: Random Reviews
On Canada Day I walked over to East York for some Muddy York. This is that post: http://saintjohnswort.ca/visit-muddy-york-brewing-company/ Woah. They are way smaller than I thought! Their fermenters are, like, 3.5 BBL? Doesn't make our little 2.5 BBL feel so small considering all the new, shiny 10...
