The Bar Towel

I've had friends keep telling me about this place because I'm the "craft beer guy". Doesn't really seem like my thing though, too gimmicky and I don't really care for spas in the first place. I'd rather just rent a cottage or cabin on my own terms. The Clear Lake beers I've tried weren't v...

Only ever had one beer from them, it was on draft at a brewpub and it was really good. I'd like to do an order, actually, but I am worried about brew dates.. beer is too expensive these days to gamble on it.. anyone know if they are pretty good for keeping fresh stock? For example I was at Counterp...

Kind of a weird one, getting licenses to serve on-premise. When was the last time you ate on premises at a 7-11? https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/7-eleven-liquor-licence-ontario-locations-beer-wine-agco-1.6862251 Partial quote: The 7-Eleven convenience store chain sidestepped a formal review ...

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 ...

Cool announcement from Town, they'll be operating a pop-up space in the old Whitby Pump House for the summer. Looks like it'll host a beer garden, mini market, special events and more. Fantastic brewery, definitely worth the trip to Durham. As added incentive for hazy IPA lovers, they have a collab ...

They've gone and gentrified makgeolli! lol

I'd actually like to try this, I have fond memories of drinking makgeolli in the countryside of SK. You could buy it from little carts on the side of hiking trails and whatnot.

Ah, I should've separated those thoughts better. I couldn't find Equilibrium on the LCBO website. I found the Dupont listing, but it doesn't seem like the latest order has rolled out yet, at least near me anyway.

Doesn't seem like it's even listed yet, I can't find it on the website. I'm also hoping Dupont will hurry up and get here soon, been craving some of that lately.

Looks like we're getting drinking in TO parks this summer afterall: https://www.blogto.com/city/2023/05/toronto-allow-drinking-parks-summer-theres-catch/ For the click adverse, the "catch" (wouldn't be BlogTO without a little clickbait) is that it will only be allowed in wards whose counc...

Distribution of this the Karma pack was a little disappointing, didn't show up in any of the LCBOs I regularly visit and doesn't seem to be available for online ordering. Timothy Taylor Landlord seems to be disappearing quickly too, I swear I'd seen some available at my local but alas it was gone b...

Moving to short cans for some brands too. I have to wonder if we'll see more short can offerings from breweries to keep price points down amidst increasing costs, definitely a way to reduce sticker shock since I imagine most people don't do a cost per ml calculation when they're staring at the price.

Left Field Ice Cold is a summer staple for me, straight out of the can. Gardening, yard work; whatever I might be doing outside, it fits the bill. Seems to stay ice cold too since those small cans disappear quickly. Seconded on GLB lager too, if not just for the fact a 2-4 is fifty bucks.
