The Bar Towel

Any Peterborough interest in the XH?

Why does the bionic man have to be on it? Why not just go with the beer guy?

Brock Road in Pickering.

Well this is disappointing to hear. I wonder if I should bother keeping the bottles I grabbed for the cellar? The ones I've consumed so far were fine, but I'd hate to open a bottle a year from now only to find that it was off from the beginning. This is going to apply to a lot of people. Are all of...

I'm not touching that barley wine until someone here buys it and gives a positive review. That stuff made me cringe two winters ago and after a few sips went straight down the toilet. Thank God I had some Hardy's to cleanse my palate. Other than the painted bottle, it's no different than previous y...

For those in the area, the Unibroue 17 is out on display in Peterborough now. Looks like a couple of cases.

They're on to us. They're in stores, but most are hiding them in back 'til the current promotion is done. They're not registering them on the website yet so we won't know where to go and pester the help.

Peterborough. They always seem to put 'em out as soon as they arrive.

Was in Whitby last night, and didn't see anything there. (Brock & Kingston).

This isn't bad at all. I think maybe some are going at this as an IIPA (or an imperial cascadian) and coming away disappointed because it doesn't meet style expectations. It's far closer to an ASA than an IIPA, I think. Its malt profile, which really awakens as the beer warms, is up front and sweet ...

I still have a 2008 and some 2009 peche mortel left. will be interesting to do a comparison Coffee will be real faded. But it's not! It's still better than awesome. Even better than better than awesome. It keeps getting betterer! It's just smoother and more cohesive. But still lots of coffee.

In store?

Yes sir.

Starting to show up now. I saw Fullers, the Belgian mix pack, Sammy Smith, Jenlain, Bah Humbug, Christoffel, La Chouffe, and maybe a couple of others.

And that, folks, is how you define irony.

This discussion clearly belongs in the "Beer Reviews" thread, but, whatever. You guys need to give the Ghosttown another chance. You cannot take two sips of a beer such as this and then pour it. There are no off flavours. It is not a mistake. This is the way it i supposed to taste, and if ...

Call me a Noveau chic beer geek or whatever...but this did nothing for me..yeah I get it subtlety etc...not everything needs to be a hop bomb, this is an archetype blah blah..gimme a Red Racer at $2.95 any day of the week or a Crazy Canuck at $2.25..just my two cents LOL. I'm much the same way. Hop...
