An unapologetically opinionated view of what's brewing across the continent and around the globe.

(In February, World of Beer Update subscribers read about the 5th annual Barley Wine Festival held at that terrific San Francisco beer bar, Toronado, located at 547 Haight Street. But that was hardly the extent of my beer tasting travels in the City by the Bay, and some of the rest are recounted in the following story.

The Celebrator -- A Fond Look Back at 10 Years of Beer News
About eight or so years ago, while on a press trip to California, I stumbled upon an interesting newsprint publication called the Celebrator Beer News. Being unfamiliar with it, and it being available for free, I picked up a copy and brought it home to Toronto with me. Little did I know that in so doing I was about to begin a relationship that would endure for many years to come.
Kitchen Table Tasting -- A Vertical Tasting of Niagara Falls Eisbock
Long-time readers of World of Beer will remember from this time last year our vertical tasting of the well-regarded Eisbock from Niagara Falls Brewing on Ontario, Canada (please see the March, 1997, SBWoB for details). Well, once did not seem like nearly enough, so in February, I dug deep into the recesses of my cellar and emerged with six vintages of this fine beer, plus the Eisbock Gold, a special version of the 1994 vintage that was aged in the tank at the brewery for a year and further concentrated to 8.6% alcohol by volume.
