The Bar Towel

Ahhhh. Right. Didn't check out the locale and didn't put two-and-two together, but that makes sense. Too bad, was super excited for a sec there (but good for both Bellwoods and Trillium).

Yeah the Trillium folks also posted a photo of their Ratebeer badge so it's probably for that.

I'm rarely in Toronto these days. Do they have anything at the LCBO/TBS or bars outside of TO?

No LCBO / TBS listings. Unsure about bars.

Dude, I have my priorities, you have yours, lets leave it at that.

No need to swear or make fun of people for not going nuts over the same stuff as you

Mr. Portwood, sad as it is, some people are going to give you this crap. Looking ahead, I was thinking of booking a vacation to Toronto this summer to check out a few breweries, as I don't get into the city much either. Maybe you'd like to join me.

You said something silly and people calling you out. Get over it. Lick your wounds quietly and keep on truckin.

But to pile on you some more, someone asks about where to get Bellwoods outside of TO and you answer with Volo and Wvrst. Could you be less helpful? Those are in Toronto and to be frank I'm not sure either carry Bellwoods as I've not seen it on either list on the regular. I haven't been to Volo in a long time (because they suck) so I can't say if they've carried Bellwoods lately. Wvrst hasn't each time I've been in. Maybe I've just been unlucky.
Bar Hop has had Bellwoods on and off the last few years.

I say Barn Owl #3 because the label colour is a bit lighter than the red of Barn Owl 1 (more like a peach colour, which makes sense given it's made with peaches) and the first couple words on the label are "Mixed fermentation," and it was described at Cask Days as a "Mixed Fermentation Farmouse Ale w. Ontario Peaches."

This is a cool shot. I doubt there is a collab brewing, but I'll check with my contact at Trillium.
He's received a few shipments of Bellwoods from me over the past year, but he isn't a brewer so...

West of Toronto the only 2 places I've seen Bellwoods is the Woolwich Arrow in Guelph and Milo's in London. Both have them on infrequently as they have to drive to Toronto to get the kegs themselves.

I think there's a place in Hamilton (Brux?) that has them on occasionally as well, but I don't travel that way so I'm going by hearsay.

Both Brux and The Brain have Bellwoods bottles pretty regularly in Hamilton. Draught, not so much.

Jane Bond has had bottles, and Abe Erb has had kegs, both in Waterloo.

At risk of derailing the thread a bit, care to explain why they suck? Just curious as I quite like the place for the most part. And I'm not sure about on draft (they do seem to have some from time to time) but they definitely carry Bellwoods bottles regularly.

Bru in oakville has bottles

I've ranted about them too much already. Service (lack of) model, terrible location. Admittedly their food menu has improved drastically over just having chips. Some people seem to like them. Thats fine. Different strokes for different folks. I just can't stand people jumping to their defense simply based on them being around a long time excusing a terrible service model and being fortunate to host Zwanze day.
I MAY go back one day, just for the Jesty.
