The Bar Towel

Saw a post on Reddit that Saulter Street is closing. Can't say I ever enjoyed anything I had from them

Been grabbing stuff from them since the pandemic - I usually grab a few cans on the way back home. They occasionally hit it out of the park with their hoppy offerings.

Got everything I wanted between a Wegmans and Consumers without having to line up. It ain't 2014 anymore.

The Bananas Foster is actually a great price. About 35% less than in Buffalo

A few places I checked out in Minnesota recently; worth visiting of you're fishing or hunting on the area or find yourself stuck on Thunder Bay and wanting to have a change of scenery fo a couple days. Grand Marais Voyageur Brewing - fairly standard stuff. Prefer their lagers and darker offerings to...

Didn't get an email or anything, just looking for a pair of keys I seem to have lost back in 2018.

I think so, at least in Ontario. The frenzies of DFH 60 and peaking with Westy seem like ancient history. Americans still seem to clamour for hot releases (are there still lines at Hill Farmstead?), but I just don't think folks here would do it. And as the overall quality and accessibly of good bee...

Yessir! Hill : Pretty much everything, I have a particular soft spot for the Society and Solitude IPA Series and Anna. And of course the in-house lager series. Lawson's: Still a fan of the Fayston Stouts and Triple Sunshine. Quality seemingly dipped a bit going to the bigger system but almost of wha...

Just came back from a trip out that way. Did the usual places (Hill/Alchemist/Lawson's/Foam) Some random thoughts on places less talked about elsewhere: Kraemer and Kin: Cans available throughout the state, actual taproom in the Alburgh golf course. Focus seems to be on traditional styles. Standout ...

Over the last couple days:

Muddy York Jail Fire
Godspeed Poltomavy Lezak 11 - Agreed with Belgian on this one - glad I have a few more for to bring me into the new year
Left Field BBA Blackburne
Left Field 10 cent Beer Night

My last Taru Ichi can went off like a rocket - lost about half of it.

The Kizuna was alright - maybe a bit too citrus forward (I think Bim and Shaun came up with the recipe ages ago and that was Shaun's extent of it being brewed). Better to drink at room temperature.

Based on their lager, Northern Superior. And yes, I know they're aiming for the crowd that really misses the Bill Sharpe Northern brews.

They did a one off Irish stout that was on tap at a few pubs in the area that was surprisingly good years ago. Cant say I've had any of their stuff since

It's no world beater, but the Silkie Stout at 2 bucks and a dime has been a semi-regular for me.

Some good news in that Ontario release if you're a ticker. The collective Arts IPA7 is what i'll be on the lookout for.
