I received an email from Jim Curtis of Chicago who writes: • “Hey beerbloggers, • My name is Jim Curtis and I'm a homebrewer from the west suburbs of Chicago. I have a general beer and brewpub info site at www.beer100.com. I have just quit my government job and opened a brewing shop in …
Life In A Beer Shop - Episode 1

Here is a report from the front line - the very counter in Bury St. Edmunds from Paul, the owner of Beer2Go, a type of beer store that would be illegal in most of Canada and perhaps some of the USA - certainly Pennsylvania - though it is essentially the same idea as the Party Source in Syracuse …
Buying beer in Quebec
Posted by on Friday, November 26, 2004 in - 24 comments
The workers of the liquor stores in Quebec are on strike. In any other place in Canada that would cause a small crisis, but Quebec is distinct in Canada for several reasons, one of which is the retail sales of beer and wine. While spirits can only be purchased at the government-run retail stores …

When I was a kid old O.H. Armstrong in our church called it the "Government Store". In the South Shore of Nova Scotia apparently it is called the "Power House".

Directions to the Galeville Grocery • So we hit the road at 8:00 am and were at the fair at 10:30 am after a few stops - one of which was the Galeville Grocery. Unlike Pennsylvania and its restrictive distributor system, New Yorkers have some of the most civilized laws relating to the purchasing …

One thing to note from any trip to Pennsylvania by a beer fan are some of the strange laws of vending said beverage. Simply put, they try to deter you from doing so by making it difficult and taboo. To buy a six-pack or a 12 pack you have to go to a bar with a sign that says "six to go" or some …
At the LCBO, Kingston, Ontario

Directions to the Downtown LCBO in Kingston, Ontario. • I am a lucky guy. The main LCBO in Kingston sits between my work and my car park. When the snow is swirling, a half of East India Sherry might be just the thing. When, like today, Ohio's factories and the earth's axis conspire to make the …
