The Bar Towel

This guy kills me. His last beer review, done on his ultra-cheapo Dominican holiday, might just be his best. The guy practically blows his wad in his pants over pouring a Brahma! Some of the great quotes you'll hear within; "I'd rather have an adjunct lager than a pilsner", "You can't...

I used to PVR Conan but don't anymore. Colbert and Daily Show are the only late night I watch.

I know a lot of you were at the BarTowel brew day and might have missed the Spearhead launch party or related unveilings...but did anyone try this beer yet? Reviews?

Well...the day is finally here. I hope everyone has a great time and a wonderful beer comes out of it. Please take lots of pics and post all your stories here...I would like to enjoy the experience even though I cannot be there.

Cheers,
Jon

Weyerbacher double Simcoe IPA. Yum.

Heading there this weekend for a few days. Anybody been there recently? Decent bars or bottle shops I can hit? I'm acquainted with the St.James Gate from when I was last in Banff in 2006. Fairly standard Irish pub beer lineup. There's a brew pub called Banff Avenue Brewing that has opened since I wa...

Westy 8 is about $15, 12 is about $17.

One week to go! I hope everyone is still on-board and excited!

Westvleteren Extra 8
Westvleteren 12

Available here in B.C. at retail...I shit you not.
