The Bar Towel

Went to the BBB fest at Woodbine last year. I remember Left Field and Great Lakes were there for sure and want to say Nickel Brook (among others). Focus is on BBQ, but it's nice to have plastic cups of good beer to drink while sitting on the grass and stuffing your face.

I'm kind of disapointed as I've tried several times to join on the http://torontobottleshare.com/ website and I never seem to receive the email confirmation. I've checked my junkmail and everything. It's a shame as I'd really like to make it out to one of these events. You probably are on the maili...

I'm one of the organizers for Toronto Bottle Share. Feel free to shoot me a PM or email me at torontobottleshare@gmail.com. We're always happy to have new members!

Thanks for all the inquiries. The Dark Lord has been traded away

Got a bottle of Dark Lord 2011 for trade. Ideally looking for some Founders CBS or Bourbon County variations, but will listen to other offers involving imperial stouts, sours or something else of equal value via PM.

Prefer an in person trade in Toronto rather than shipping in the cold weather.

Two of the casks at Cask Days were also based on Double Tempest. Have they said how much if any will be kegged? I talked with one of the brewers on Sunday and he said those were done from extra Double Tempest after the barrels had been filled. He didn't say there was any extra kegged, either barrel...

Looking to trade a TDD Dulcis Succubus bottled this spring. Not looking for anything specific in return, just something interesting. Can do in person in Toronto or am happy to trade via mail. Send offers via PM.

Sorry to threadjack, but I've also got a can of Heady Topper available. Willing to trade local or ship. Not looking for anything specific, just something that isn't easy to find in Ontario or Buffalo.

Got an email from the LCBO saying that the Utopias is coming back. Here are the pertinent details from my blog: "Big news for fans of the Sam Adams Utopias – the LCBO is getting 400 bottles of the Utopias 10th Anniversary. To celebrate the release, Sam Adams founder Jim Koch is coming to the Su...

I'm trying to split a case of the Grande Noirceur. If anyone in Toronto is interested, send me a PM

Edit: Case is now full!

I don't know how hot it was, but probably around 70. It was at least relatively consistent, ie didn't spike during heat waves. I used to 'cellar' beer under my sink in an apartment without air conditioning, so I've come to realize that strong beers are pretty resilient.

I moved into a condo in May and started using my storage unit for a cellar. It's definitely cooler now than in the summer, but stayed at a consistent temperature throughout the warmer months. A couple of potential problems I've thought of: -Light. If the lights are on all the time or people use the ...

Beau’s will have their NightMarzen back in the LCBO in a week or two, followed by the Weiss-O-Lantern, a pumpking weiss that will be part of the Halloween release.

That guy has the worst copy editing

Bartowel (for years): "Give us American west coast IPA! Give us American west coast IPA!" LCBO (finally): "OK, here ya go." Bartowel: "Meh...not fresh enough." Sums up my sentiments exactly, thanks. Why send us a product that relies on freshness for a good deal of its ...
