Bier Markt, Toronto, Ontario
Posted by on Friday, February 23, 2007 in - 2 comments
Just a short note. Last night, I visited Bier Markt in the Big Smoke for the second time, the first being a short stop waiting to jump on a train at nearby Union Station with nothing but a Rochefort 6 to keep me company. The gathering was a small bloggy get together hanging out with these three …
Canadian Christmas Breakfast Beer?
Posted by on Thursday, December 14, 2006 in - 8 comments
Britain's CAMRA apparently has a great idea for this Yule - start early. As part of their "Christmas Cheer With Beer" campaign they include suggestions for different meals including this one: • “BREAKFAST: Smoked salmon and scrambled eggs • TRY: An English style wheat beer • WHY: The beer …
BeerBistro!, Toronto, Ontario

I had the occasion to visit BeerBistro! near the corner of King and Yonge Streets in Toronto today...ok, twice today...which in itself tells you something. I had to meet a friend for a quick lunch in that area of town and later took the time to have another beer as I waited for the train back home …
Mill Street Brewpub, Toronto, Ontario

The picture above is the best of this set. We visited the Mill Street Brewery's new brewpub which has just opened last week in Toronto's Distillery District and were very impressed, first of all with the facility - one of the nicest laid out bars I have been in. It was pretty dark so the photos … read more »
West 50 Pour House and Grille, Mississauga, Ontario

I do not think I have ever reviewed a picture of a bar before...especially a bar that has yet to open but following Greg's links from his story at the Bar Towel to the unfortunately URLed website "hiprestaurants.com" I found this great design for a tap house sitting right there on my computer …
Ontario: Neustadt Springs Brewery, Neustadt, Bruce County
Posted by on Sunday, August 27, 2006 in - 1 comment
Directions to Neustadt Springs • As I headed up from Stratford towards Owen Sound on a family tour, I knew that Neustadt was roughly on the way but I had to figure out the shift in the north-south concession lot roads from the north-west to south-east ones...and I got a little lost. South of …
Ontario: Confederation Ale, Robert Simpson Brewing, Barrie, Simcoe County
Posted by on Friday, April 14, 2006 in - 3 comments
A can of beer from Barrie. Mmmm. Robert Simpson Brewing is a brewer that does not make it to the east end of Lake Ontario. I picked this one up a few weeks ago at the Queens Quay LCBO in Toronto. The BAers, who have some reservations at 21% nay, call it a cream ale - which to me means a warmer …

Here are two ales from the Elora Old Mill brand produced by Trafalgar Brewing Company at Oakville, Ontario. According to the ever useful Brewed in Canada by Allen Winn Sneath, in 1997: • “Trafalgar Brewery of Oakville opens the Old Mill Brewery in Elora on the site of the defunct Taylor & Bate …
Volo, Toronto, Ontario
Posted by on Saturday, March 18, 2006 in - 3 comments
The other day, when I did rock, we headed up Yonge Street in Toronto to finish the evening at Volo, a much discussed beer bar amongst the Bar Towelling set. With very good reason as well. While I wasn't able to take my camera and get some shots, I can tell you that the place seats about 40, is …
Ontario: Dark, Hockley Valley Brewing, Mono-Adjala Townline
Posted by on Sunday, February 26, 2006 in - 7 comments
A great day yesterday...perhaps. Under the judicious but incomprehensible plan for the parcelling out of microbrews of Ontario by the LCBO, Kingston got a 2-4 of Hockley Dark Ale. One whole case. Importantly for understanding the dark world of Ontario micro distribution, Sgt. Major IPA was nowhere …
