Good Way
Very cool. I'll never go back to 'just pouring into a glass'.

Great suggestion for this post!

A good Marzen/Oktoberfestbier would be both seasonally appropriate and work well in the malt forward category
I had six of the Amsterdam Oktoberfest, which would really fit the bill, plus great timing.

I found another show done a few years ago in Australia called "Beer: an insider's guide" that focused on judging/tasting, brewerania, homebrewing, production (6 episodes)
I watched this, following your recommendation, and it was quite good. Largely Australian based.

someone please help me understand how trafalger gets a listing in every realease, when their beer is so bad. I see it on the shelf in my local LCBOs every time (e.g. Fathers Day promo lager (I think) is still in 417 Waterloo), so I'm not sure I buy the story that they sell...

Well, I was planning on going to this (vs. beerbistro in TO), but alas, my minor hockey volunteering is getting in the way. Will be there the next night for dinner and any leftovers, going to JLC to see my Flyers beat up on Leafs!! See you then Milos!
