That would be some bullshit. It's already available to that market, why waste the listing? they have to deliver their own product. why would they drive all over the province instead of driving all around one city? Seems fairly obvious: To sell to people not located in/around TO. That's probably why...

Spencer Trappist Ale

My apologies in advance if this topic has already been opened up elsewhere on the forum, but I was intrigued when I heard that the U.S. now has its own Trappist beer (from St. Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts), as of December 2013 (http://drinkbelgianbeer.com/news/spencer-new-american-trappi...

Heads up for the Windsor people, I just picked up some Backwoods at the Lauzon location. There wasn't anymore on the shelf but chances are the Roundhouse might still have it even though the lcbo website never listed it as being in Windsor. Roundhouse is not getting any. What was on the shelf at Lau...

I assume 'GLB Beard Of Zeus (Bourbon Barrel Barleywine)' is new? Can't find any info on it. Looks like it was a winning homebrew at the 2012 Toronto Beer Week Homebrew Competition. An Old Ale brewed by homebrewer Kyle Teichert, the name actually appears to be "By The Beard of Zeus". Sourc...

Re: Vote for the next Game of Thrones Beer from Brewery Omme

weird, I would have figured everyone would be voting for quads They probably would, if this contest had been launched on Ommegang's Facebook page! Unfortunately, this was launched on the GOT page, so we've got a different crowd of people voting... Just an example of the kind of person voting and th...

Vote for the next Game of Thrones Beer from Brewery Ommegang

This is great! Except everyone is voting for the wrong beer!

Any chance we Bar Towellers can put one of the quads in the lead? I'm pushing for Khal, myself.

Re: late to the party

I'd definitely be up for ordering cases into Windsor, trading, bottle sharing... I also hear rumors that there may be a second beer festival in our area in 2014. This one will be a summer event and will not take place downtown. I think the organizers may have thoughts of another Erie Shores Wine Fe...

Anyone here heard of, planning on going to, or involved with The Windsor Beer Exchange? Some of you might have heard talk this past summer about a new bar which was to open in Windsor in or around July of 2013, in a stock exchange format where draught prices would fluctuate based on sales (http://wi...

Not sure if any Windsor/Essex Bartowellers have been following the thread about the distribution of draught St. Ambroise RIS across certain parts of Ontario (http://www.bartowel.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=127714#127714), but I've already given my two cents on the topic (see below).
