AD Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 the Ontario Today Phone-In on CBC starting in a few minutes (or maybe at 12:30 or 1, I dunno) is about beer today. There will be some beer pro there answering questions. We are all just well-intentioned amateurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SolarGarlic Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 About to open my first pint o' the day... Mr. Chips. Have you tried the English beer cheese that has that in it? Pretty tasty, and a conversation piece to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorgnor Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 The upside to ale is that it has a unique character at either temperature, cold or semi-warm. Again I say........... RED CAP STUBBIES!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagochips Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Made a little trip down to the big LCBO on Rideau St last week and purchased a whole pile of random beers to try. Here is my new favourite: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted September 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I picked up a couple of bottles on your recommendation although the label said "Beer" instead of "Blond". Pretty sure it's the same thing. Anyway, I loved the burnt bitter taste. I really like that in a beer. I will be back for more. Also picked up a 6-pack of Southern Tier IPA from New York. Excellent, excellent stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 For those in Ottawa who like Beau's beers (their Lug-Tread Ale is really nice), they'll be hosting a party at The Elmdale House Tavern on Saturday, September 27, 2008, featuring "the brewery's very own band - The Oh Yeahs."Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossolee Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 If you like ST IPA or the hoppy US style Pale Ale... be sure to grab some Dogfish 60 Minute IPA from the LCBO. Should be available soon, I'm looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 (edited) So I pulled out the very first beer mug I got from the company that got bought by another company, who then merged with yet another company, who then zorched my group into nothingness, giving me a year of unworked pay...but, yeah, back to the mug. It's plain glass, with some text and graphics commemorating the first quarter in which the company (that got bought by another company, who then etc.) made $100,000,000.00 (one hundred million dollars).The company gave out beer mugs when anything important happened (yearly results, stock offerings, etc.), and I ended up collecting about 10 or 12 different ones. They take up about half of the lower shelf of the fridge, standing at attention on their heads, with some crumbs and things helping them to blend in, almost like camouflage.There are a bunch of other mugs in there, even a british-style dimpled rounded pint mug, with the logo of Queen's University Golden Words; there's a glass-bottomed pewter beer stein with my initials etched in script on it (mimicing one my Dad had, with his initials on it, not to be confused with the glass-bottom pewter beer stein that had "Ken / A Really Nice Guy" etched into it, an early-retirement gift from his colleagues to him); the stamped-out pewter mug, commemorating my and my buddies' 2nd place finish in the Queen's University beer-brewing competition; and another stamped-metal one, this one heartfully tacky and touristy: a mug with the island of Bermuda's logo on it, that my parents brought back from their second trip there, their first trip there having been their honemoon (they brought a pair, my brother has the other one). There was also the nice straight-sided tall glass one, with my name etched in it, almost so faintly that even the condensation that'd accumulate on the side of the glass would obscure it.But the hundred-million-dollar-quarter one seemed appropriate.But I needed something to put into it.I'd had the "Headstrong" Pale Ale a couple of times, and liked it, so when I saw the "Headstrong" Munich Lager, I decided it was the one. It's pretty good, a little heavier and richer than most people think of lagers, but not overly hoppy (almost like a Creemore). It's a great beer to have with food; I had it with some veggie-ground-round/tomatoes roll sandwiches tonight, and it blended really well with them.And it tasted great from the mug.Aloha,Brad Edited September 24, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 If you like ST IPA or the hoppy US style Pale Ale... It's my favourite style. Thanks for the tip!Drinking a Dogfish 60 right now... delish!Also picked up a sixer of Rogue Dead Guy Ale, first time I've seen it outside the tall bottle format.At LCBO Rideau & King Edward. Ask for the Dogfish if you don't see it. I took the last six but they usually have more in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
