The May issue of All About Beer has listed 125 places to have a beer before you die and a handful of Canadian places made it on the list, three from Ontario.
#10 - The Great Canadian Beer Fest (Victoria, BC)
#17 - Mondial de la Biere (Montreal, QC)
#18 - Horizon's Cafe, CN Tower (Toronto, ON)
#49 - Woolwich Arms Pub (Guelph, ON)
#113 - beerbistro (Toronto, ON)
Nice to see a lovely establishment like the Woolwich Arms make such an impressive list, and to crack the top 50.
The list was compiled by Rick Lyke, a well known drink writer out of the U.S. Funny though, I thought my place would have cracked the top 10.
I picked up the new AAB at lunch today, and I've gotta say that for a cover story, the "125 Places..." article is quite a disappointment.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, calling it an "article" is an overstatement - it's just a sort intro, followed by a simple list. Couldn't they have done short write-ups about at least the Top 25, or even Top 10 places? Would've been a better use of space than the accompanying photos, IMO.
My thoughts exactly Greg. When I got the mag in the mail and saw the headline, I thought, great, a detailed account of some terrific beer places throughout the world. The (article) left a lot to the imagination.
ReplyDeleteEven a small description of the place would have been cool with me.
Cheers,
