The Bar Towel

New Glarus is incredible. First drank them when they were available in Buffalo in the late 90's. Since then unfortunately, they decided that they would only distribute to within Wisconsin. I've driven to Wisconsin several times to bring back kegs of Raspberry Tart, Belgian Red and Serendipity. Serve...

The monarch tavern is hosting an election night party with Canadaland. Sound like it should be fun. http://www.themonarchtavern.com/event/c ... ce_id=3793

Just FYI your survey is missing the 35-44 year age range (...of course I'm much younger than that! )

http://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/the-quest-to-reproduce-the-worlds-oldest-shipwreck-beer?mbid=rss The description of a beer found in a shipwreck ... it was made in 1839-1840 so the flavours may be "a bit" off of the original flavours! ;) The original tasted of "sweet apple, ...

Links used to open in a new window. I tried a couple tonight, and they opened in the same window, so I "left" the forum. Is there a setting for this? Much prefer links opening in new windows. Evidently this was eliminated with phpbb3 from phpbb2 (the old forum) due to wanting to make the ...

At the same time, the "faux" craft can be a gateway beer into real craft... is that a bad thing? The more people that realize beer doesn't need to be tasteless swill, the better overall the beer industry will be.

I actually applaud the big guys trying to be more "crafty". It perhaps means that they're finally acknowledging that consumers want beer with more flavour. What I hate is the dishonesty of trying to disguise their "crafty" beers. I'm of of mixed feelings though -- does Goose Isla...
