la brasserie is a cool little place, I've been there for the abbaye des rocs. I've never been to eat, but I'd like to. maybe we could do a bartowel lunch down there sometime.

the black wych is now part of the lcbo's normal stock and they buy new cases of it. it was brought in because they thought we weren't being punished with enough bad beer so it only made sense to bring in another piss poor clear bottled macro piece of crap.

I went to the baview viilage lcbo today and they now have cans of kostritzer schwarzbier available. I haven't seen this anywhere else so I assume it's new. not the best beer, but there's a lot worse they could have brought in.

the funniest thing for me at the fest was overhearing some ask peter at the esprit booth if they had anything that "tastes like kokanee" to which peter replied "no we only have good beer" I laughed pretty hard. highlight of the fest was perry's millenium porter and the dry hop bi...

okay, here's the deal. I wasn't bashing the bier markt on a single episode, like I said, it wasn't the first time I've had service like that. I've been to the bier markt many times and maybe I'm just there at the wrong time, but I've always seemed to have a problem with uneducated staff. this is a w...

I never got to try the keith's celebration last year, but I remember them claiming it was dry hopped. I find that very hard to believe.
