FastLane Annual August Patio Party - Molson Coors

Toronto's Festival of Beer - Digging through the details
Monday morning. Sky is blue, there's a lovely breeze off the lake as I walk the dogs after breakfast. To be honest, I'm actually feeling in pretty good form. A little rough around the edges, a few cobwebs, sore legs and …
BBbarfly teams up with Sunnybrook Hospital
The coolest bottle opener just got a little more cool. I got this note a little while back from Brian Becker, co-owner of BBbarfly. I love seeing companies team up with charitable organizations; well done BBbarfly! …
Red Racer IPA - Central City Brewing
A lot of people bang on about BC here in Toronto. The trees are bigger, the people cooler, the air fresher, the sushi better. You've probably heard it. Lord knows I have. Not having been west since I was three, I'm …

Yup, it's Wednesday, and I've got a 4-pack of tickets to The Queer Beer Festival, Tomorrow night (Thursday, August 4th). Want them? Three questions. All correct responses will be pooled and I'll let PHP randomly select a …

Toronto Festival of Beer Photo Scavenger Hunt
So, you might remember from my earlier post on TFOB, that I'm running a photographic scavenger hunt during the festival. The deal is, take pictures of the stuff on the list below, upload them to Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr …
One Million Sorries
I cannot say enough how sorry I am. I supported a server company, and they pretty much took advantage of my love. I was burned. They left me out to dry, and you all have been without my witty insightful posts for nearly …
Toronto Festival of Beer - Contest
So, what are some of the flagship beer events in Toronto? Certainly, Toronto Beer Week made some serious waves last year, in it's inaugural session. Speaking of which, Session99 followed up on the successes of that …
2XIPA - Southern Tier Brewing Co.
So I mentioned this one in my run-down of the LCBO's summer beer release. It is a double or imperial IPA (sorry Stephen), from Southern Tier, a highly respected brewery in Lakewood, New York. Okay, it's currently 32C at …
Best Business Bars in the USA
So, while it's probably no surprise I spend a lot of time in bars for the sake of this little bloggy, you might not realize it, but I also do a lot of business in bars for my day job, as a web developer. This is mainly …
Beer Talk on Edge 102
So, I didn't want to mention it, as it was one of those things I was a little afraid wouldn't happen, but last Friday I was lucky enough to sit down with "Fearless" Fred Kennedy, the afternoon drive guy on Edge 102.1. …
Rickard's Blonde
So in a little package from my friends at Molson, I received this alongside Sublime 67, for me to see if I wanted to review. Rickard's has obviously been on my radar for some time. Red was one of the early "craft" beers …
Summer Festival of Craftbeer - The Only Cafe
For those of you following along, you will know I work with Castro's Lounge, in the Beach. If you're familiar with the beer scene in Toronto, you will know that there is another bar, not too far away, that has a very …
Golden Rule - Short's Brewing Co.
Another bottle my dear Mum brought me from Michigan (thanks again, Mum!), so yeah, you won't find this at the LCBO, sorry. Short's is a very well-respected brewery in Michigan. I thought Golden Rule was a good choice …
Canadian 67 Sublime - Molson Coors Canada
Okay, I know what a lot of you are saying. I definitely focus on craftbeer on my blog, but here's the thing: I'm completely able to review anything, and remain fairly objective. I appreciate that there is a variety of …
Open July First
[caption id="attachment_1529" align="alignleft" width="225" caption="Ka-Pow!"][/caption] Alack and alas, too often do I find myself on a National or Provincial holiday in want of beer. Why? Well, because I don't plan …
Rescousse Altbeir - Dieu du Ciel!
Ah, the joys of friends who both travel and like beer. A while back, Matt Caldwell (onebeeratatime.wordpress.com) was in La Belle Province, and brought me back a lovely little stash of beers. One of them was Rescousse …
The USA drawn by breweries
I must admit, I do like good infographics. And, of course, I like beer. So this seems to be a natural fit. Of course, it's the USA, but it's a good starting point if you're traveling to a state where you don't know a …
