There is a beer thread on HF that gets bumped up every once in a while. A lot of good information in there too. Check it out and and fee free to give your opinions and suggestions:

http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/sh...914679&page=20

I honestly can't remember when I bought the same case of beer two times in a row.

As for Yellowhead Lager I think it's pretty solid. Really flavorful and blows any big brewery lager out of the water.

However I must admit I like my ales more than lagers.

I've had Yellowhead on tap @ Latzia's and at Blue Plate Diner. Soooo good. I haven't found it in any of the liquor stores I go to yet, but I haven't tried Sherbrooke.

I feel bad for the OP, some losers who think they are the beer authorities of the world came in here and hijacked the thread... How about the topic? If you hate bars why are you commenting in a thread about bars to go to post-game. Unless you intend on inviting him and his friends to your basement to share your awesome superior-being beer, what's the point of saying all this?

Hey no problem.

As for Yellowhead you can definitely get it in a bottle. Before Christmas I went to the brewery and purchased 12 bottles and got their pint glass for free. If you bring them all 12 empty bottles back they will give you another bottle for free.

As for stores that carry it, I've purchased it at Sherbrooke and I've see it at Keg & Cork on 99th street just north of 34th ave. They only sell them right now in single bottles but I believe they are gearing up to sell them in 4 packs. Kind of seems odd but the bottles are 500ml so a 4-pack of Yellowhead is equivalent to a six-pack of any other beer(volume wise)

Good point, I was just trying to make a point.

Although I'm not quite exactly sure who the rant is exactly geared towards.

Saying "traditional" with a fake british accent sounds quite proper, but it makes me fart out the tune of "god save the queen" when I order a velvet fog that way.

Why have they changed that traffic circle?


Last I recall it has lights and it's pretty hard to get injured there.

Even with the lights I find navigating it difficult because of user-error. You'd think having sets of lights would make it easier but noooo

I find the lights damn annoying, traffic circles aren't rocket science.

I liked Tree of Life, and the last thing on my mind was looking smart. Calling people pretentious for liking certain works of art seems like the fool proof fallback nowadays.
