TOKENS!
What, you want a beer magazine? Listen, lady, I mostly sell tokens.
The Growler? Well, alright. Let me see if I remember how to edit one of those. To be honest with you, I’ve been doing it from my booth here on the CNE midway. TOKENS! Sorry, that’s a reflex action. You know, I was also marking papers for the Niagara College Brewmaster Program here? Fine! Jeez!
Robin LeBlanc has some revelations about her predilection for well-made, low-cost lagers. Ben Johnson is going to tell you about an iconic Canadian brand getting its groove back (hint: it’s green). Maxim Morin has some real concerns about an emergent IPA style; He wants to know everything about it and actually interviewed people! David Sun Lee wants to tell you about what you can do in Ottawa, and he’s had the good taste to include Gatineau in case you need that francophone option.
If that’s not enough, we’ve got a recipe for Jerk Wings from the Granite Brewery in Toronto. I’m 600 bucks in lifetime on those. If I ever get out of this booth, It’ll be like 620.
