Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

Ottawa and area help
I work at that big hulk of government! I haven't been yet as I'm on pat leave. It'll be nice to pop by on Fridays after work.Cass wrote:Very convenient to Ottawa - on the traditional bar strip which is just behind the big hulk of government. Awesome to see another great beer lineup in Hull/Gatineau.
Oh yeah? Cool! I hear it's quite the hotspot after work. It's literally straight out the back door from the hulk (at least the right part of it).Ceecee wrote:I work at that big hulk of government!

Lag time aside, Gainsbourg beers do exist. They had a booth at the Gatineau beer fest with some 3 or 4 of their own beers, including one that was served warm IIRC. Hopefully we will see some of their offerings before too long.Cass wrote:I hear you, good points. Didn't notice the advertising about microbrasserie. It is a bit odd that they started talking about themselves as one when clearly they're not (yet).

Some addresses on this list are completely barren of beers. In general its a great complete list, but some areas are less researched. Specially on the QC side.

Thanks for this. A lot of new places in the area since I was hopping through a lot 2 summers ago.Bytowner wrote:Ottawa/Gatineau beer guide is out again. Pretty comprehensive:

Yeah the Lowertown Brewery is a joint with Clocktower and York Entertainment Group. They own a few restaurants in the market area. I'm assuming they are looking after the food and Clocktower is looking after the beer.
Interesting since Clocktower have a location roughly two blocks from the Hard Rock.
