The Bar Towel

I imagine the LCBO thinks we wouldnt want to drink seaweed ale but heck, I love seaweed.

11% v/v equates to about 9.1 w/v.
As for the Unearthly, perhaps a misprint?

It is a shame that a reward system is in place, I had a similar discussion yesterday with the regional sales manager for Hillebrand Winery yesterday about how we require tipping as an incentive between the patron and employee to keep service in check. Also a shame. Personally I believe that there sh...

Finally just finished it, impressively long.

An excellent article referencing contemporary 'extreme beer' and using dogfish head as its example. For all that it is it provides a fairly balanced view of both the craft brewing market as well as the large scale industrial.

enjoying a nice westmalle dubbel in my new westmalle glass. excellent.

midlife,

I feel the same way about the dukel weisen and while it is a great winter beer in the fact that it goes straight from the glass to my belly, it doesn't satisfy my cravings for the style.

I'm on the hunt for a plastic keg (the style that looks well... like a roundish keg with a raised spigot), I can't seem to find one in Ontario, although they are popular in the UK. Looking to do some on the counter cask ale.

Anyone have one their willing to part with or know where I can get one?

A nice strong, full bodied IPA reminiscent of Granite, Garrison and Propeller.

I'd like to see Great Lakes pull out a nice porter as well.

currently, my beers occupy no space, since I've long since quaffed all my more wonderful beers and there is a lcbo and a beer store at the end of my street.

d berry, i hear ya on the baroque. Bach is my all-time favourite but i won't turn down some Vivaldi.
I also enjoy playing a on my classical or flamenco guitars when i drink my lovely beer.

Bugger that about the east end, the beer store and lcbo in cabbagetown are both substandard.

Ideally, and usually I am in the kitchen, cooking up a scrumptious meal and enjoying some music, usually mozart or beethoven.
what can i say, i'm a sucker for the traditional.

I was also at Volo yesterday and they were very generous half-pints, unfortunately I was clever enough to not eat breakfast/lunch and drink 5 3/4 pints of beer.

In my mind i see it broken down like this. Let's take the assumption that there are 2 servers and one bartender, a dishwasher, a prep/pantry cook and a cook in a traditional toronto pub. a half pint = 2x more service from a bartender (if a second pint is desired) 2x more dishwashing, which in turn e...

I'm down with that Belgian, I can think of more than few places that serve a good pint that are big enough to house us.
