The Gem on Davenport Closed
Haven't been in a while before it closed due to the fire but sad news to see a long-standing pub close. A fond memory of mine at the Gem was it was where I went immediately after I received my first-ever Bar Towel branded merch - some simply designed blue coasters. I stuck one under the glass at a t...

Re: Kalamazoo
So I did a fairly epic Kalamazoo weekend just past, where I went from Thurs-Sat (including a night hanging with Stephen Rich and London beer guy Cory). Although it may not be the most beautiful or cosmopolitan city, KZOO does have quite a nice beer scene with a wide range of interesting beers. I kno...

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Cassel Brewery closing: https://casselbrewery.ca Twelve years ago today, alongside Benjamin Bercier and Michel Racine, I embarked on a journey aboard the craft beer train, becoming the 8th brewery in eastern Ontario. Throughout the years, we forged countless friendships and were fortunate to have ex...

Re: Toronto West Beer and Bourbon Fest
Reminds me of my old Toronto Bourbon Week events. Nice to see Henderson keeping the fire burning on that theme!

That's a weird one for sure. I have never heard that was a requirement. Hope all's good with Dan now.S. St. Jeb wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 8:48 am Ontario's booze regulator told a bar to collect names from take-out customers. Now it's backtracking

If anyone didn't feel like watching all the episodes of my Quick Beer in London, I edited them all together into one, director's cut style!

Re: Jasper, AB and Revelstoke, BC
Thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions. Spent 3 nights each at Jasper and Revelstoke last week and was a great time. Some notes for posterity: Jasper Is pretty quaint which is as expected as it's within the national park. Jasper Brewing is perpetually busy and has a decent lineup of house beer...

Jasper, AB and Revelstoke, BC
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.

Re: Lot 41 - Delta Marriott Pearson Airport
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...
