The Bar Towel

My favourite point of the article (and other articles I've seen in the past) is that by promoting their discount brands the MolBats are actually hurting their profit. It's not rocket science that Labatt makes more money on a case of Blue than Lucky Lager. That's where I think your point is particula...

I'm interested in what you're saying: I've always found the Steam to be a little indistinctive: it was by no means a bad beer, it just didn't seem to jump out at me. I've always preferred the Liberty Ale because it had always seemed to have more personality, but I don't think that's really a fair co...

I was flipping through the Globe and Mail's business section today and noticed a couple of beer articles in there. The first article wasn't anything new: it was about Lakeport and how they're making life tough for the other major brewers. It's nothing new, but I thought I'd toss it out there. You ca...

Awesome work, inertiaboy!

I'd be interested in a case of the Hercules and Oak Aged Yeti.

If you need help with the aggregate orders, let me know. I'm not too far from Downtown either, so I should be able to help with distribution if anyone's on the west side of Toronto.

I'm also price sensitive (I took Peter up on the private order...) but I'd be interested in a case.

I'd try the Real Ale Phonix Double ESB. My parents moved to San Marcos, TX (about 30 minutes south of Austin) a few years ago. When I was down for Christmas I picked up a Real Ale sampler pack and liked them so much that we actually went to the brewery to check them out. I tried the Phoenix Double E...

I'm not sure if you can get them locally, but you may want to check out Paddock Wood Brewing Supplies: www.paddockwood.com. I'm getting started in brewing my own and ordered some supplies from them. I can't yet vouch for the quality of the product (the beer's not ready) but it was packaged well and ...

Ken dropped off 24 at my door yesterday afternoon. The beer's great, the labels look good, and at your door service? Thanks a lot, Ken!

Ken also mentioned that a friend of his had kept some Nutcracker in his cellar for 3 years and it was still good, so I'll have to put some aside to try for myself.

Pulled out a bottle of the 2002 and 2003 Brick Anniversary Bock from the store room for a Sunday Night Battle Royale. Here's my take on the results: I started with the 2003 Anniversary Bock. It had a dark cola colour with slightly less than average sized tan head. VERY malty nose of dried fruit and ...

I'm heading to southern Ireland in a couple of weeks. I'll be there for a week and am planning to make stops at some of the usual suspects (Guiness, Kilkenny...) I'm looking forward to seeing some of the big breweries, but does anyone know if there are any micro-breweries in the lower half of the co...
