The Bar Towel

That sucks. Never like to see places close up.

I'm gonna need to hear more about "pizza flights"!!!

Looks pretty good!

And it seems it will be so.

Kensington Brewing Company Reopening Toronto Location Next Month

Thanks for the tip! Good that something is going back in the space.

Here I was thinking it wasn't so long ago I was in GR but damn, that was 5 years ago. Some spots we enjoyed (apart from the obvious ones) were Brewery Vivant, cool location in an old church; The Mitten which is in an old firehall and did "pizza flights"; and Creston, a smaller brewery in ...

So the Grand Rapids tourism people have stepped up and are helping out for a Quick Beer trip in Grand Rapids next week, which is pretty awesome.

Anyone have any particularly good personal recommendations?

Jordan St. John maintains probably the most comprehensive list of contract breweries in Ontario. From the looks of the list though, it doesn't list where they actually brew - as it may be multiple locations.

There were a number of changes to alcohol laws early in the pandemic. I _think_ I recall this being one of them. Over 11.9% is taxed higher and I don't think you need a distiller licence if it's still classified as beer (or I could be misremembering and Bellwoods has a distillers licence?). I've se...

Evidently in mid-June there will be some kind of Collective Arts pop-up at Union Station. https://torontounion.ca/union-market-press-release/ Union Market will open in phases over the next few months. Phase one, now open, includes The Alley, Lena’s Floral Designs, Manotas Organics, My Olive, Chocola...

Maybe this has been somewhere else on the forum, but I can’t find something that’s dedicated to just Happy Hour deals at bars & taprooms. So let’s start it! With inflation and everything crazy I do find myself hunting for a good deal where possible. Here’s one I’ve taken advantage of lots: Craft...

Just a quick post to say how much I like the fun things that Godspeed does at the brewery. One of the most memorable beer experiences I've had in life was visiting Koln/Cologne and the unique beer tradition they have for Kolsch, with the server uniforms and the "we'll keep serving until you tel...

Tapsucker I moved this into a new thread so it wouldn't get lost in Bellwoods discussion. I've been to the Walrus a number of times downtown, a nice enough place whose best quality IMO is its proximity to Union Station. Kind of what a beer bar would be like if made by marketing people, which is lik...

Scanning the legal document, even though Bellwoods got damages, it does not seem ideal to continue working with this landlord on a go-forward basis considering some of the stuff they pulled. I wonder what Bellwoods will actually do.

News about the Dupont location. Typical BlogTO clickbait around the location going to open - there's no indication of that. Looking at the end of the legal doc the judge awarded Bellwoods $6 million, which will certainly help with things. https://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2023/05/bellwoods-brewery-ne...
