The Bar Towel

No I didn't as I was camping. I would have if I was around though, as I agree it looks pretty good.

While I enjoyed last years (same set up as this year it looks like) due to the chill atmosphere compared to pre-Covid Cask Days, I honestly can't see myself making the trek to Toronto for this ever again. If I lived relatively close however, I'd say it's worth stopping in for.

Can vs bottle aside, it’s kind of a shame that the new mix pack is down to just 4 beers. I would get the mix bottle pack from time to time, and IIRC the last one had Terrible & Raftman. Kind of weird that they dropped Blanche de Chambly too, so now the mix pack is all high octane. https://www.t...

I've never had any qc issues with aging canned beer.

Anyway, saw a 'new' listing for Carlesberg in the LCBO which seemed strange. Sure enough, they are moving from a 500 mL can to a 473 mL can. $3.00 for the 500, $2.95 for the 473. Aside from the marginal increase in cents/mL, I suppose they like the $2.95 vs $3.00 for psychological reasons. I wonder...

While I prefer Jever I also found myself drinking Pilsner Urquell more this summer... probably because it's in my local lcbo instead of having to order Jever online. I'm a firm believer that Godspeed makes the best pilsners/lagers in Ontario right now. I also agree Tooth & Nail "Vim & V...

Good to know, thanks!

I was there once about 12 years ago or so and had the Dragon's Breath Pale Ale. Tasted like a malt extract beer tbh.

What he disagreed with was forced lockdowns and mask-mandates, and welcomed anyone who agreed with him to his brewery; everyone what was in his space was there by choice. I'm not too sure how that makes him a garbage human being, even if you disagree with him on lockdowns and masks. I don't really ...

I've changed my mind on Innocente, they are now one of my favorites. I was wrong. Steve Innocente was a garbage human being during covid. attended and spoke at many rallies. 35 enforcement actions against him. https://kitchener.ctvnews.ca/35-enforcement-actions-issued-for-disobeying-covid-19-rules-...

Not knowing any insider info or financials, I just get the feeling that this is a brewery that's overextended itself and we'll see either a contraction or sale in the near future.

Never heard of these guys, are they any good?

Beautiful brewery. Don't remember anything wrong nor outstanding with any of the beers I had though.

Muddy York makes some good beers, so I'm happy they won... even if they paid to play and others didn't.

Can't say for certain re. freshness, but one thing I do if I'm going to order is check a brewery's instagram for the beers I'm interested in ordering. Usually a lot of them will post when they've released something, so I have a good sense of how old it might be. It's not foolproof, but AMF seems to...

My favourite brewery. No only great beers, but I loved the styles they make, and @matt7215 was always amazing to deal with (Jeremy too).

I already knew this was probably going to happen, but I'm quite sad to see it official. Really sad actually.

Thanks for all the great beer and chats gents!
