The Bar Towel

Very nice Greg. I like the write up on the Rhino. When I lived near there in the early 90's it was one of my favourites along with Squirrelly's down the road near Bathurst. Your comments on the service and food sadden me. I used to be amazed at how well we were taken care of at the Rhino while they ...

There's plenty of Corona and Canadian on the shelf at the LCBO near me. Nice and chilled too.

Could be a matter of history. Very few North American brewers survived prohibition, so they didn't need a quality product to compete (and almost anything would seem to be high quality after the bootleg brewing). Maybe it's been like this for 70 years (which is a long time in North America, yet only...

New! Molson Ceers.
Beer watered down with Coors Light...
...or Labatts Bleer?

Lots of cold shelf space to explore the diversity of former warsaw pact lagers (tm) but a bureaucratic rejection of the fastest selling beer LCBO ever shelved because US micro beer needs a filing deadline for a stack of paperwork...and no extention or quarter given in the requirment. :roll: I'm no ...

I'd even be happy if they stocked the Ontario micros.

No disrespect to the DFH that I would so like to have in my glass right now...

I wish I could remember the name of the place and the exact location... Many years ago I was stuck in downtown L.A. without a car (the equivalent of leprosy). I went to a place across the street from the city hall, around where the new concert hall is now. The only reason they were open after 5pm wa...

Recycled beer, how about the opposite? I was once in the local tavern in Huntsville (sorry can't remember the name of the bar or the strippers) and I saw the bartender opening and pouring bottles of beer in a jug. I aksed him what he was doing and he said their draft lines had been down for weeks so...

I too am a fan of Sierra Nevada, especially since it is so well distributed in the States. When I travel, I really like to drink local, but sometimes (o.k. most of the time) establishments only have the macro bottled pop. SN is generally the token micro, or they have Sam Adams or Anchor products, ne...

Sorry for your disappointment. I was working in the LCBO lab at that point in time. Your bottles had to be 'tested' for human consumption, and because these beers tested SO well, repeated testings were called for & then after our little 'testing event' there was none left to send you. Standard ...

hmmm... how about registering car stereos to fight noise... Actually I fully agree with the keg resgistration. One of the reasons cops need gun registries is so they know what kind of potential firepower might exist in a residence when the breakup a dispute. When the wife and I go at it, they have n...

Oh wait... the hops aren't good for them.

I'd rather wash my dog in good beer and give it a shiny coat. I tried the Molbats on the car once and it just dulled the paint.

Seriously, if it's not good for your body, don't poison the dog.

If it were my brewpub, the stouts, porters, ESBs etc. would rule, but as you said, you need to grow your business. On that front, I suggest you keep it simple but look for some uniqueness. In my travels of many southern regions, I have found so many decent (but not brilliant) outgrowths of German tr...

hmmm... and what's your opinion Gedge?

Sorry buddy, if you feel you have to advertise for others, it doesn't say much for your self respect. On the other hand, free is priced right...
