Beer trading in 2017, folks.

Absolutely unreal. Thanks OP for reminding me why I don't visit this site anymore.

I thought this video was terrible.

Put more focus on the actual product and less on the unfunny "lol lets go viral" shtick.

crowd funding was overdone 1-2 years ago and no one really cares much any more. Unless, of course, if it still works. Sounds like Yogi Berra's "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded" You know what also works, and has worked for hundreds of thousands of small business owners worldwid...

Because you get a free ticket to the event if you do.

These guys are solid, certainly worth checking out. The west coast pilsner is a standout for me, reminds me of Jacks Abby Hoponius Union/jabby bray hybrid. Good to hear. So far, all I have seen from these guys is people checking in their beer in Untappd and the ratings don't seem all that great. If...

Was there and for the most part had a good time - ran into a few folks from BT. Also really enjoyed the Ducato bottles (esp. the Krampus). Was hoping they would kick out that idiot in the red shirt who jumped the link. He cut in 2-3 people behind us. I know exactly what he looks like - fucked up fr...

Amsterdam Sweet Nuthin might be the beer in question. Mozzarella cheese, gym socks and a number of other horrid smells and flavours. Gag inducing. Amsterdam has without a doubt had a track record of producing some of the best "wild" beers in Ontario over the course of the past few years, b...

If you don't dig lagers as a category, that's cool. Honestly, though, good, flavourful lagers are far more rare and harder to brew than most ales and thus are a little underrepresented in our market. I love well made lagers, so this is a definite "try" for me. Edit: Would understand cring...

No interest in going. Long way for just an ok beer. The event is heavily hyped which invariably means leaving disappointed. I'd much rather hit Chicago on a random weekend for a relaxed time hitting HopLeaf, Map Room, Local Option, etc. And FFF for takeout on my way back. Just ok beer? I'll remembe...

No thanks.

Just curious, are you saying "No thanks" to the style, Black Oak doing it, or the price?

All three.

"Imperial Pilsner."

No thanks.

Also, how long have Black Oak been lagering?

Or Maker's 46. Very solid wheater as well, and not at all talked about for whatever reason.
