Re: Red Tape Brewery
I know someone who did the custom brew thing. For their dog no less. Didn’t realize it was so expensive.

Blood Brothers’ Over The Tap - $7 to $12 for 4 oz pours
If you don't follow the Toronto Craft Beer subreddit, there's been quite a bit of negative feedback over this event that took place this past weekend in Toronto. The theme was collaborative beers between Blood Brothers and other breweries. Apparently, it was $15 to get in to this ticketed event. Thi...

Not a brewery, but the Danforth location of Bar Hop closed last weekend.

Re: UK update
I was surprised to see Newcastle brown in cans at the LCBO last week, so picked one up out of nostalgia.

The Only Cafe (Toronto) - property listed on MLS
Very, very sad if this mean the end of the Only. Hands down my favourite bar in the city. This has been my local for nearly 15 years since moving to the east end.

Re: Collective Arts
Ultrasoft is excellent. Tropical Distancing does what it says on the can. Veers into alcopop territory IMO. I bought four and will save the three I have left for warm days.

Re: Rorschach Brewing
Rorschach is worth trying. I'm not into sours or fruited beers but I like their IPAs. Can vouch for the current batch of Truth Serum, Master Status and Telekinesis. Their "crowlers" are actually 1 litre plastic medicine bottles since they don't have a canning station and they are currently...

Quick Google search shows Spearhead, Grain & Grit and Cowbell are using Canpar. Anyone else? I wish Dominion and Sawdust would switch over to Canpar.Napalm Frog wrote:MattS wrote:
Also, several breweries have shifted to Canpar. So far these have shipped blazing fast, and no issues upon delivery.

Re: Black Lab Brewery opening in East Toronto this fall
Nice space, lots of dogs. Four beers on tap (a sour, an IPA, an APA and a black lager). Liked the IPA the best, but not enough to buy a bottle to go. Early days for this brewery, so will visit again at some point to see how they are doing.
