Hops and Robbers
Interesting to read the Best Bitter comparisons. For those of you who have visited Pepperwood's Bistro in Burlington in the past: You should recognize this beer ( as I recall ) as the Pepperwood's Dry-hopped Best Bitter. Paul Dickey, brewer of Hops and Robbers, was the brewmaster at Pepperwood's a f...

Cleveland
I was in Cleveland in the summer. Fathead's in North Olmsted, ( Lorain Rd ) near Hopkins Int'l Airport is a must-visit. Headhunter IPA is their top beer and is outstanding, with many more. Downtown, Superior & Prospect, near Progressive Field, are the Winking Lizard and right next door, City Tap...

Buffalo Wild Wings-Meadowvale
The new Buffalo Wild Wings, on Winston Churchill, just south of the 401 is very close for you. They have a few craft taps- King Vienna Lager, Barking Squirrel, Steam Whistle, Sam Adams. I had a chat with a bartender and a manager and they mentioned that they have a few rotating taps for micros, alon...

Checked this out tonight. A bit bland looking on the inside, but a very nice craft selection, including a couple you don't see much of: St. Ambroise Pumpkin and Weihenstephan Dunkel. Thye have a 4 x 5oz craft sampler for $6.95, which I think is a great idea. I had very good service at the bar. The s...

Pricing
I am wondering about the price people are paying for this beer. The tulip glass provides a 14 oz serving, I am told. I had it at Bryden's in the tulip glass and am sure the price was somewhere around $7, tax incl. I had it last night at West 50, same glass, and it was $8.64 + taxes. I nearly hit the...

There are a fair number of quality Ontario craft brews, as well as a number of European brews. They do have various seasonals. Black Oak's Chocolate Cherry Stout is on right now and the bartender said they were expecting a few more. Here is a link to their menu. It is not completely up-to-date, as S...
