Waterloo Dark - easy drinking beer

[mr x]

I grabbed this when I picked up the Headstrong. Not a bad beer, kinda Schwarzbier like I would say.

Cool, I have a can of that in my fridge as of yet unopened.
It won't last too long once I get off being on call.

This might be one of the VERY few things mr. x and KMcK agree on!

What a coinkydink. Here I am in Ontario, visiting my mother and she, lacking any concept of beer, laid in some Waterloo Dark - solely on the grounds that it was dark...

Went to the Beer Store this afternoon, and I must say there are considerable changes since I lived here. And none for the better. The store is now full of imports - InBev/Molson-Coors imports, of course. The Beer Store stocks exactly _two_ IPAs (you will be pleased to know that Alexander Keiths isn't one of them), but exactly _where_ they stock them, I couldn't tell you. Not here, anyway. The best beer - other than the Waterloo Dark - that I could get here was Wellington's Arkell Best Bitter, which isn't nearly the beer it was when they were among the first independent breweries to set up shop in the 70s/80s.

I'm a founding member and past president of the Waterloo Dark Gang (c 1995). This is the beer that pushed me over the edge into the realm of good beers only.

Should be some Muskoka stuff at the Beer Store. But again, whether or not their staff knows it's there to get it for you is another question entirely.

Nope. It was the Mad Tom I was looking for. Computerized cash/inventory systems should know even when the staff don't - this staff simply said, "we don't stock any of that stuff".
