Yep, Steam Whistle is fantastic. It's my go-to pilsner if the bar carries it.
Ooooo, I haven't had a Maudite in a while.
Perhaps we should organize an "Interferencers Beer Tasting Event" (not to be confused with "Interferencers Meetup To Get Smashed The Night Before The Concert" ) right around the time of the next show...I think alot of the contributors to this thread will be here, right?
this will be happening before the meadowlands/NYC show, right? i know just the place
THE HALF PINT NYC BEER BARS NEW YORK CITY BEER BARS NYC BEST BEER BARS THE HALF PINT
looking into maybe the last show w/ arcade fire, but it's in the middle of fucking nowhere. maybe montreal
by middle of nowhere i mean there's no direct flight from new york. i'm sure it's perty.
i'm seriously considering the saturday montreal show... it's only a 6 hour drive... toss in a $100 hotel room now i just need to find someone who has a car
under consideration... i will let you know. i don't have a car so i'd have to either find someone to go with or get a flight in saturday morning and out sunday... can't do friday unfortunately
It's not for everyone, but I really enjoy taking the bus. There's a midnight bus that leaves both cities, so you'll be able to overnight it. If you're crazy, like me, you could conceivably forego a hotel room: leave NYC midnight on Friday, spend all day in Montreal, then leave for NYC after the show. The concert should end at 11 and to get to the downtown bus station from there would take 25 minutes with the subway, give or take.
Or you can be sane and leave NYC midnight on Friday, and then leave Montreal with an early morning or afternoon bus to NYC.

Yep, Steam Whistle is fantastic. It's my go-to pilsner if the bar carries it. We've also got Amsterdam brewery which is quite good too, though I prefer Steam Whistle
The beer store by my house has a lot of them. Spadina just south of Bloor on the west side of the street. It's a really shitty looking one but they carry some interesting brands for some reason.
Also, the liquor store on yonge street a few blocks north of davenport has Blanche de Chambly (in the nice 750ml bottles) so I assume they carry a few more flavours. It's the really nice liquor store near the old train station
How did you enjoy Toronto, anyway? What did you end up doing? I'm always curious what people think of the city.
