The Bar Towel

Yep, just like Granite's.

There are still some bitter Americans out there...

Tapsucker: Globe and Mail, December 13, 2008, "The beer essentials for lighter brews: strong body, lots of taste" Unfortunately, it's no longer available online for free... %$#@$* I stand corrected, now I remember that article. I guess I've had a few too many robust brews or I'm just gett...

Between the article and the reader comments, there is some good discussion on these stronger styles. However, I have always felt it's too easy to make a strong beer. What I mean by that is, it's a lot harder to develop a full rich flavour profile without the higher alcohol content being a factor. I ...

I bet the stubbies also don't need ot be sorted for each vendor. Everytime I'm at the BS and the line is backed up while they sort bottles I remind them of the opportunity to go back to all stubbies! I guess they might have to come up with green or clear stubbies for the 'brand before taste' vendors...

At $1.95 Canadian for a pound, that's just pennies over $5.00 a pint. They also had Marston's Pedigree and a house cask for the same price...

hmmm...15 minutes of fame. Can you describe the aftertaste?

I don't know what the capacity at the Publican is, maybe they are just struggling to brew enough? The Granite has been running out of growlers quite regularly in the last little while. I know they have fixed capacity and the restaurant needs to be kept stocked first, since they don't sell anybody el...

The home didn't tell me she wandered off again. I guess she knew we'd find her at the LCBO so she went a little further abroad.

Nothing wimpy about it, I'm just tired of all that shit.

Maybe we can arrange a 'lite' winter for you...something that tastes like cold.
