The Bar Towel

Just returned from Calgary. While there visited a small brwery in Revelstoke BC. Mt. Begbie. Of note their Alpine Amber I think is their best offering. They served up a dark wheat beer that was very interesting, not for the faint of heart however this is a solid full bodied wheat beer. Also visited ...

I like that Rogue stout as well. Funny thing I was in the local liquor store (brampton) and the guy tells me he had a whole case to get rid of, didn't sell he said. I took a couple off him but i already had a fridge full of St Amboise Oatmeal (that i stocked up on passing through Georgetown (of all ...

You guys downtown have it g...

I agree good beer is most important in my book, not necessarily beer selection. Ambiance, and food is secondary but a welcome surprise if above the average run of the mill pub fare. My favorite pub has only one decent beer on tap (their own excellent beer it's a brew pub)(although once they erred an...

Good topic. The content of my fridge varies considerably depending on my last excursion. At present i have laid in a supply of various beers from the Gold Crown Brewery in Waterloo. Not getting out there very often I stocked up on: 1. The Traditional Dark Ale (Once known as Friars) very dark and mal...
