The Bar Towel

Popped in Friday. $3 a ticket; 1 ticket half glass sample, 2 tix, full glass.
Had 6 Pints Black Lager, apparently this is a Molson "brand"? Regardless this was really enjoyable. Would love more details if anyone has them

Bought an on-sale 6-pack: 5 were gushers and all were - what I suspect - victims of oxidization. Shame, I really like this when it's on. Would love to see it re-stocked as the big-ass single bottles

Pepperwood's has become grossly inconsistent since Paul Dickie moved on. Last experience the staff knew nothing of the beer available, several listed house brands were n/a, and what house brands they did lacked the quality I remember

WHAT?

I'm off to Grey Cup in 2 weeks. My poor body will have to sacrifice itself to the Molson Machine at official Festival Events but I want to get to at least 2 or 3 good beer bars for the local flavours.

Recommendations?

Ok, think what you may about pro wresting but I'm a nerd and this may actually be interesting. A new show proposal for the WWE Network about Stone Cold and beer. Wonder who his "counterpart" may be... Stone Cold Steve Austin and his counterpart, a refined beer expert, visit a different loc...

Yes.

I like Iodophor too. I think we're in a minority with using it. It's considered a little less environmentally-friendly then other sanitizers but I've found a little goes a long way.

My very first batch was 1 can of malt extract a pound of sugar and a little packet of dry yeast that came with the canned extract. I honestly thought I had mastered the simple science of brewing. Then I started googling the term "homebrew" and POW! Right in the Kisser. I realized I knew no...

Just in the Dorval LCBO in Oakville. There was about 9 of the Geuze on the shelf. Now there is 5.

Was at C'est What last Friday. They said they had it, but it wasnt tapped. Maybe do a walk-in?

Anyone have any good ones?

Thought I'd try something different while sitting by the pool, drinking a "Dr. Pepper" consisting of

1/2 oz white rum
1/2 oz amaretto
1 bottle of King Vienna Lager

Tasty little number

From their Facebook page:

Hello Fans of Smokeless Joe's! Smokeless Joe's is moving and will be open in mid August! The location is amazing, bigger and badder, cool patio as well!

Stay tuned right here for more information!

Interesting.

Second time for me. I understand the price point issue but when your able to talk to all the brewers in one location at the same time, that's worth the price of admission alone for this homebrewer.

Thanks to all the Brewers and organizers for putting on a great show and giving your time.

Best Wishes to Adrian and congratulations to GL for getting such a fantastic Brewmaster.

Soooo..... who's taking over at Black Oak?

Ummm... still haven't got my ticket in the mail. Should I be concerned with the Canada Post rotating strike going on?
