Rag Round-Up - Thursday, August 7th

Once a year, usually just in time for the Festival of Beer (which starts today, coincidentally), the mainstream publications remember that there's more to drink than wine and give a nod to that other beverage - beer. Such is the case with NOW this week. First, Graham Duncan offers a selection of quickie profiles of some Ontario breweries, and even quicker profiles of local beer-friendly watering holes, as well as a list of upcoming beer events, minus lots of relevant information, like the time or price for some listings. There's a basic primer on beer styles that will be useful to beer newbies, and Steven Davey warms up to beer bistro after a couple of visits. Davey's also got a list of restaurants that uh... serve beer. Also, Molson made a really big beer keg. Okay.

At Eye, an unnamed restaurant critic drops by Table 17 and finds the offerings a bit uneven.

The only new article at Metro this week is Billy Munelly's piece on Southbrook Winery and their new digs in Niagara- they serve pizza. Cool.
