Looks like they're still doing renovations inside. The sign is up for the place, and on the window there is a paper sign the says "The Bent Elbow 2013".
I googled them to see if they have a website yet (they don't), but someone has put in a RB event for an opening of February 1, 2013. Not sure if that's just a guess or the actual date. I'm assuming someone from here put the event up.

Has anyone been by lately? Would love to see some new/renewed options in KW.

I drive by every day on my way to work. Still looks the same as before. There's often vehicles in front of the place, and I've seen people haul stuff in.
They have a not so active twitter account,
this is posted as their first tap.

Just dropped off some Oatmeal Coffee Stout at the Bent Elbow. They said they should be open on Monday at 4pm.
22 taps, + 1 cask. Here's some of them, off the top of my head:
- SH Oatmeal Coffee Stout
- Wellington SPA
- Stratford Common
- King Pilsner
- Beau's
- Great Lakes Pompous Ass (on rotating tap)
- Rogue rotating (currently Yellow Snow)
- Thurn & Taxis Wolfgang Dunkel
- Hopf Weisse
- Erdinger Weissbier Dunkel
- Mort Subite Kriek
- Stiegl Radler
- Affligem Blonde
Obviously I am missing some, either because I've forgotten or they weren't up yet (such as 2 from Grand River).
I'm going back on Monday to drop off some glassware so I'll get a more complete list then.
Shaping up to be a pretty damn impressive list, I must say!

Harold dropped into Toronto on Saturday and picked up a nice assortment of Belgians from me. Great to have some good Belgian beer available in KW finally.

I was at The Bent Elbow on a stormy Friday night. Quite a fantastic craft beer selection - European and local. Very good bottle selection as well to complement the 22 draught lines. Cask to be functional this week. Their motto : "Food, Friends... and Fine Beer!" -- I partically had a good chuckle at the Bud Light tap handle on the urinal.

Good place. Was in Sat and any place with a GRB Mill Race Mild (my nominee for most underrated beer in Ontario) on tap is OK by me. Looking forward to going back for schnitzel this weekend.

Just an FYI to Bar Toweler in the Kitchener area. Dry Hopped Augusta Ale Cask just tapped. On deck Curmudgeon IPA.
Cheers
