The Bar Towel

I know these are two totally different places but there wasn't a thread on either of them and no point in setting up two. Heading for the annual ski trip which will include a loop from Jasper to Revelstoke and then out through Banff/Canmore. Any personal recommendations from Jasper or Revelstoke? Ha...

Final episode from London with visits to Anderson, Powerhouse, Toboggan, London Brew, Holy Diver, Bungalow and Chaucer's. A fun visit for sure.

BlogTO reporting that Louis Cifer is closing in the spring, although does not cite a source.

I don't think they will be missed by serious beer fans.

It doesn’t take much, does it. Even having those three choices is so nice compared to only having the standard Molbatt options. Yeah, that's exactly it. It's kind of amazing (but maybe it isn't) that even through the craft beer 'revolution' there are still so many places staunchly about corporate d...

Pretty random one here, but I found myself at a work event staying at the Delta Marriott nearby to Pearson. I usually don't expect much from airport area hotel bars, but their lobby bar (called "Lot 41") had Rainhard, Beau's Juicy & Mill St Tankhouse on tap, amongst some others. Pleasa...

I know it doesn't seem like much, but the activity on the forum thus far in 2024 puts us on pace for the most activity since 2018. Woo!

Keep it up!

Good stuff. Thanks for sharing!

I wish we could get Two Hearted here. I have a Quick Beer video trip to Kalamazoo in March and I'm trying to get an interview with Bell's. Since they're now owned by Kirin/Lion I guess the old reasons for why they never came to Ontario – supposedly Larry Bell refused to deal with LCBO – don't apply...

And another, this one visiting Forked River with a barrel tasting from Dave.



Final episode in London hopefully coming on the weekend with the final spots in town.

We didn't touch St. Roch, but it seems to be the traditional shopping street with some nice dinning, bars, and coffee shops. Highly recommend Quebec City, but similar to another table at dinner that I eavesdropped on; It's an awkward distance. The flights are expensive (relative to distance), the t...

Thanks for sharing an update! I used to have a client who was a sponsor of Carnaval so I went for a few years. Always a great vibe and enjoyed exploring the funky bars along Saint-Jean, which it looks like is where the places you went to were as well.

Very happy you joined!

Any recent visits to Cleveland? They agreed to a Quick Beer video so will be heading down there in early May. Never visited before!

Kalamazoo confirmed they would like A Quick Beer video so I'm heading over there in early March. Will be interesting to check it out, besides going to the Bell's bar I have not done a single thing of anything else there.

You got that right. I usually don't stress about beers coming and going but that's one I will miss. I'll probably buy the mix packs when I'm driving through Buffalo in the future now.
