The Bar Towel

Pretty sweet looking beer dinner coming up to celebrate the launch of New Holland into Ontario. I think this may be a BarTowel scoop and this news is not widely distributed yet, so you should grab a ticket if you're interested - there aren't many to go around.

surprised Dragons Milk's not on there

It's all about the Hatter apparently. Maybe they'll have that as an extra though, since it's coming to the LCBO?

Apparently there are still a few tickets left for this, which is a bit surprising to me - that's a great looking menu, and the debut of these beers in Ontario is pretty exciting, IMO.

Hope to see a few of you there!

any word as to how the actual food was?
i don't really rank BM as being a great cullinary destination.

I was there, and aside from the somewhat pedestrian dessert (basically flourless chocolate cake, not as exciting as the description), the food was quite good.

Michael Cipollo is a pretty great chef. Not boundary-pushing, perhaps, but he knows how to work well with flavours, and can pair with beer better than most chefs in the city. Like any corporate chef, the food being served day-to-day may not reflect this, but I've enjoyed any meal I've had where he was heading the kitchen.
