La Belle Crawl - Super Marche Rahman

September 11, 2010

So, after a mighty big sandwich, the only thing left to do was make a pick-up of beers that we would be difficult (at best) to get back in Ontario. The weird thing for most Ontarians, is not just that you can buy beer at …

La Belle Crawl - Schwartz's Deli

September 6, 2010

Okay, so you may or may not know this, but I'm a vegetarian (strictly speaking, I'm a peskaterian, I eat seafood). But I'm also a trained chef, and a big food geek. As well, I spent a lot of my time in highschool in the …

La Belle Crawl - Dieu du Ciel!

September 6, 2010 · 4 comments

Ummm, okay, here's the thing: Dieu du Ciel!, it's like a beer Mecca. If you don't know, they make a huge variety of incredible beers, lots of Belgian styles, but also heaps of new-school brews, from badass AIPAs to BIPAs …

Okay, first off, sorry this took so damn long to get to. The evening of this crawl (okay, it was a drive, but whatever), I came down with a crazy fever, caused, it turned out, by an antibiotic-resistant chest infection, …

Ptown crawl part IV - The Olde Stone Brewery

April 3, 2010

Last stop, though I really should have already left. The Olde Stone is a brew pub right in downtown ptown. With a brewery in the basement, this place serves both their own brews on draught, as well as five Ontario guest …

Ptown crawl part III - St Veronus Cafe and Tap Room

April 1, 2010

On the advice of Marty at Publican, I left The Only and wandered along Hunter St. to St. Veronus which is a classic Belgian style bar. Elegant and clean layout, with a few different rooms, including a small bar room …

Ptown crawl part II - The Only Cafe

March 31, 2010 · 4 comments

So my second stop took me to The Only Cafe. Which is strange to me, as The Only is on Danforth in Toronto, right? Well, about 20 years ago, the dude who opened the Danforth location, Jerome, sold it, moved to …

Ptown crawl part I - Publican House Brewery

March 30, 2010

After dropping my mum at her desired location in Peterborough, I headed to Charlotte St and the pleasant Publican House Brewery. Bought myself a growler of Square Nail Pale Ale and had a great chat about their intentions …

March 30, 2010 · 2 comments

So, this past Saturday, my mum needed a lift to Peterborough. I, being a good son, happily obliged. Certainly, because I love my mother, but also because a trip to ptown means a stop at Publican House, and also, …
