Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
I know it's just one case, but I have a friend who decided to give up drinking over a year ago. His normal potions were macro lagers. He is regularly trying different NA beers and reports that they all basically suck. He's a serious foodie, so if he can't find something that meets the taste baseline...

GLB Karmageddon.
*tries to channel Borat voice* - Is niaace!
Well balanced for a big beer. Oddly, the aroma has a hint of grilled meet. Not off putting, just weird.

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
So I had this dream the other night where I was in a bar and all the beer was really really expensive. When I asked why, I was told because it was all non-alcoholic. Crazy those two themes converged. Must be some latent anxieties... Which begs the question, why are NA beers stocked at the LCBO? They...

Re: Recruiting back to the Bar Towel
FWIW, I migrated the forum to a new server in the last couple of days so hopefully it's faster for everyone. Google's PageSpeed insights gave the site a 99/100 on desktop performance! (I should have checked before, but let's just say it was lower! :P ) But I can only read so fast! This is getting t...

Re: Alcohol regulation changes
There's probably a catch. Something along the lines of you would have to live in the greenbelt or every individual serving would have to be retail priced at $1.

Re: How to dispose of a keg?
Hang on a second. The Beer Store handles keg returns for local breweries. They might overlook the origin and give you a deposit back. If it's industry standard, it should not matter to them.
If that's too much hassle, I'll still happily take it off your hands.

Hey! I'll take that too. I have the right hardware to re-purpose it. Sanky, I assume, not euro?

Re: Two-Tap Jockey Box - Free to anyone who wants it
I have an excellent use for it and would appreciate. I assume is also has the chiller. I'll see if I can figure out how to PM and work something out.

Palestine
I’ve had beer from this brewery! I remember it very distinctly. It was in Jerusalem over 20 years ago. The publican explained how it was smuggled through all the checkpoints designed to block Palestinian businesses from selling in Israel. Economic starvation was the policy of the time. The beer was ...
