The Bar Towel

I posted this elsewhere too, but in a recent trip to Detroit a bottle shop recommended a Wax Wings IPA to me, which I brought home and thoroughly enjoyed. I believe it was this one: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/53044/360429/

Oh, I forgot to add before. One of the beers that was recommended to me when I was there was a Wax Wings hazy IPA, out of Kalamazoo. It was outstanding.

Are taprooms not open late? For example, Bellwoods is open until 1, Amsterdam Brewhouse until 12 or 2 depending on the day, Northern Maverick until 2. I'm sure there are some that don't say open too, I just checked a few randomly that I thought probably had later hours. I think you'll definitely fin...

I was just in Detroit for an extended weekend, figured this thread could use dusting off. Breweries: Detroit have a few, but honestly they're not as saturated as most places are these days. I gather that's changing in time. Faisan was the standout place for me. They're pretty new and still finding t...

I noticed Karma Simcoe on LCBO shelves. I haven't tried it myself, but you'd think that would be kinda piney?

Pine seems like a flavour profile that has fallen out of favour a bit over the years. I haven't had a Lone Pine in ages, I should pick a few up.

Thanks!

I had As Is on the list already, but the other two are new to me. City Swiggers could definitely be on the agenda since it's by the museums.

It's on the list!

Grimm was on my list, but KCBC wasn't, thanks!

I'll go where the beer is.

I've got a weekend in NY on the horizon. Any updated advice?

I checked out a Badlands tap takeover at the Wooly in Guelph last night. Badlands tap takeovers are ridiculous. They're just like "Here's 18 hazy IPAs, a festbier, a stout and a porter."

The porter was incredible.

I had a Bellwoods A Stout with Coffee (https://www.lcbo.com/en/bellwoods-brewery-a-stout-with-coffee-30366) the other day and thought it strongly resembled my memory of Peche. Possibly a little stronger on the coffee and a little more approachable at 5%. Reminded me why I grew to love that brewery b...

They're also a great, affordable, venue for events. I got married there!

Some interesting stuff on there. A few Euro offerings I've never tried and a couple of big US IPAs that are always fun.
