The Bar Towel

Recently went with my girlfriend. Food was fantastic, beer was great but everything seemed under-carbonated that day (both the habits saison and the amsterdam howl)
The taps and bottle list are well curated.

Will definately go back.

Hey!

A little last minute, but tonight (May 26th) we're tapping our newest collaboration. It's with Stone Hammer and the legendary George Eagleson will even be dropping by around 7 to officially tap the first keg. It's a light, summery wheat saison with galaxy hops. Should be pretty tasty. It'll be around for the next week but, unfortunately, George will only be around tonight.

Also, re: carbonation. We've been working on getting the drought system in the front of house to show both our beers and other taps with more carbonation. Things should be a lot more consistent on that side now.

Nice night tonight, guess this means a walk up is in order.

thanks I'll try to pop by this week after work

A great time was had last night. Really impressed with the saisons, great work Chris, Christina and Doug! Also I really liked Habits: food was tasty and the owners (Michelle & Louis I think...) were really nice. Recommended.

I'm heading there today before I go to the People's Pint event - keep reading good things about the Saison so I'm excited to try it.

Thanks. I'll be at the People's Pint event so hopefully I'll see you there. I think we're a pretty good warm up for amateur brew since we're still only semi-pro!

I didn't end up making it to Habits unfortunately (I was hungry and it wasn't open yet). Ended up at the banknote - they still had bourbon county on tap - before heading to People's Pint.

Tried to go today at 2:30 but they were closed. Didn't realize it's only really an evening type of bar.

Yeah 5pm, says so on their website.

In fact, I give them full marks for putting all their info (location, hours, phone number, email, food and drink menus, reservations, etc.) in an easy to read format particularly via mobile. YAY! Only thing missing is payment information. I presume that's not on there because they accept everything.

We're working on that too. I know it's a pain that it's currently not open earlier on the weekends (or on Sunday at all). As we expand our inhouse brewing the hours should expand too.

Good location, nice-looking comfortable interior, and darn good beers - had both the Saison and the Griset made with Raspberry.

Will be back for the beers, the genuine gastro food and better than OK prices. Ding ding we have a winner...

Shameless plug/announcement. Eventually we'll make a proper blog for this stuff, but for now Bar Towel works!

Tapping some collaboration beers on Friday. Should be a bit of fun and should last into the next week. First time having four of our taps on at the same time. Hoping to not have to relinquish them to guest taps again!
