Re: Doom Bar
its good ice cold, they drink in the summer,the BBQ and patio is where they prerfer to drink....
Stronger tasting beers are made, have been made and very few make big inroads with the consumers.. they just don't buy enough
As ales are easier and cheaper to make than lagers... the breweris have tried... try Molson export... orginally an ale ( and still is)... now its hard to tell it apart form a lager
It intresting to find that the popular German wiess (white or wheat) beer has IMHO done the best job of gaining popularity in the NA main stream ( a beer that's a bigger pain in arse to make than lager)

Re: Doom Bar
Fine, I don't drink Coors Light. Point is, I don't care how tasteless it tastes as long as its got a punch. 5% is minimum, more is better until you get up to the 9s. Then it sort of ruins your evening as after about four or five tall cans of 9+% stuff you don't feel like going out.

Re: Doom Bar
Never seen Mad Tom in cask form...i bet that would be great...as i do enjoy it and ive seen it on tap, but never in cask form, where did you try that? that must have been in the Muskoka region somewhere?
I took a friend who was visiting me from the UK on a cask ale tour of Toronto, that was a good route we planned out. One place i visited was called "Ces't what" on Front Street, they brew their own cask ales and had 4 different ones in when I was there. Very enjoyable, wish i had chance to visit more often.

Cheshire Cat pub in Carp to reopen within days, after devastating fire | Ottawa Citizen
It is on the west outskirts of Ottawa..great pub in a former one room school house which had a large fire which demolished the roof and a lot of the interior in Feb 2013 but reopened 10 months later.
They change their cask offerings seemingly weekly

Nice! I plan on a visit up to Ottawa later this year, when I have visitors, so will be sure to pay that place a visit! Mad Tom on cask....that would be right up my street! But any other Canadian cask offerings would be great too.
I think cask ale popularity is definitely on the up in Canada!!

Re: Doom Bar
Yes I heard that somewhere way back when I was living in the UK but I didn't know how true it was. I also heard that a Canadian introduced lager to the UK?? It wasn't Carling was it? lol! My UK ale loving friends will never let me live that down if that's true...we all have a passionate hate on for chav Carling!
