The Bar Towel

Athletic is great, and I'm not just saying that because I'm an Ambassador, lol.

But I did purposefully only mention Canadian N/A beer options in my last post

They will definitely have to do a collab beer with Outlaw Brew Co.

Nice read, I fall into this 75% category:

A 2024 report by marketing agency NIQ highlights that 75 per cent of non-alcoholic beverage consumers in Canada also purchase alcohol products — not necessarily replacing alcohol but integrating it into a more balanced lifestyle.

So apparently carbs are a big factor in blood cholesterol, and now I've gotta take lowering it seriously, so sadly my beer consumption is down to almost zero these days; at least until a get a handle on things. I figure lower ABV filtered beers will have the lowest net carbs, but some of the non-al...

I would imagine breweries willing to ship direct to home, no LCBO involvement, would be fine? But we shall see how it works. One thing people don't seem to realize, is a lot of breweries in other provinces don't ship anywhere, or only within their own city. We are kind of spoiled that so many brewer...

Never made it to the Aviary.
I remember being at The Dock Ellis some time ago and all beers were from Longslice.
Apparently the same owners, from what the bartender told me. I guess they will be pouring other beers now.

Anyone heard news about Northern Maverick? The one time (in a long time) I thought about going last month, they were randomly closed. Their website doesn't work now (malware I think...don't check it, lol), and their Instagram is pretty quiet. My favourite beer from them was when they were still a co...

Deadline fast approaching
I was thinking of stocking up on a nice saison, like Saison Dupont (I know, not Ontario...but it's on sale) or Saison de la Meuse.
Then I realized I have too much beer to drink already, so no stockpiling for me.

This growler talk reminds me I was going to take advantage of the Rhino growler deal, but remembered the annoying "must buy food" part. https://www.therhino.ca/draft Rhino Growler Takeout 32oz! Order draught to go – introducing the Rhino Growler Takeout 32oz! Get a 32oz to-go for the price...

College Volo has a mini Tilquin feature starting February 1st. All kegged stuff, which, in my experience, sometimes lacks versus their bottles. I had the white peach in Aylmer and it was excellent. Abricot (Lambic W. Apricots) Clémentine (Lambic W. Clementines) Gueuze (Lambic Gueuze) Kriek De Schar...

Cool....I mean Big Rig and 3 Brewers offer franchises...so not a totally novel idea, but kudos to trying.

Awesome stuff, and great photos!
Even the crappy / average beer tastes better while on safari

100 Acres is a cool spot. Indoors was cozy and nice, but outdoors was vast, you can just stroll around while having your beer. Beers were solid, especially the double ipa, Painted. I quite liked their table beer too...cant remember the name of it. Go visit the new Canoe Museum in Peterborough and th...

Saw these ones at Dundas and Jane LCBO today, and grabbed one of most of them: 16133 Zundert 10 330 17767 Schneider Aventinus Eisbock 330 27997 Gouden Carolus Christmas Beer 330 97469 Samichlaus 330 572081 Founders Breakfast Stout 355 244376 Porter Baltique 750 They may have had some of the other Wi...

I ordered 3 of their different beers from Mother India for to-go orders, when they were on Queen St W. They've had them there for a few years. Never saw them anywhere else other than Indian restaurants. Funny though, I only ever got the Asura (Premium pale Ale), even though I tried ordering the stro...
