The Bar Towel

I'm sorry but I can't let that pass. Steamwhistle is no King Pilsner, but its surely a step above Keith's in quality, lack of additives, fresh pilsner taste, etc.

I'm a big C'est What fan and have been for years, but I agree with antirealist. The "two menus" thing drives me nuts and is the opposite of customer-friendly. It makes no sense and actively bugs me every time I go.

Thanks. I couldn't find it on the web but I think I had a slight spelling malfunction. Riverside sounds good too!

Anyone been to Cafe Brussels lately, or is it now closed? If the latter, does anyone have a favourite place for mussels and Belgian beer? Smokeless comes to mind, of course. Others?

I didn't ask about the Bock, but there appeared to be abundant supply in the fridge today.

I was at the brewery this afternoon and they said there are still about 200 bottles of Barley Wine left for sale. I took 5, so there's still plenty.

The usual suspects speak up (today's Star): That article is so depressing. In particular, did I really see the following from the executive director of MADD Canada?? "It's [alcohol] not a commodity that should be on the open, free market." Keep that in mind next time MADD solicits for a d...

Just opened my first St. Peter's Summer Ale. While I don't have any leftovers from 2003 to compare it to, this seems to me to be quite inferior to last year's batch. It's barely carbonated, rather smoky in flavour, as a previous poster noted (not necessarily a bad thing, but strange for this style) ...

Will they lose some taps, too? I haven't been on the "nia" side in quite some time, but it seems to me they had taps (that were not duplicates of the other C'est What taps) on that side as well.

Kudos from me as well. I particularly like the cask-conditioned Dogsbody and continue to hope it might show up somewhere in Toronto.

I think the crux of the discussion is whether GB makes good beer that is worth supporting (despite the inconvenient location). Would we miss it if it were gone? Is it just an overpriced, mediocre American chain, as some have opined, or does it actually brew some interesting beers, albeit in a steril...

Pusateri's at Avenue Road and Lawrence.

What do those who have had it think? It certainly is unique.

Well, I'd like to hear more, because I don't agree. I agree that the Denison's Weissbier is very nice. But I don't think the rest of the Denison's beers were "in a different league entirely". In fact, I think Gorden Biersch is making a superior Helles and Pilsner, hoppier and more distinct...

I agree with dhurtubise. I've driven out there on three or four occasions (it is a bit of a ways, unfortunately) and I think the beers have been consistently quite good - the equal of the old Denison's brews IMHO. I'm more of an ale fan but I think this is one of the better venues in the GTA (perhap...
