Funny you should say that. I just came back from Vermont with a case of Heady. This beer is not over hyped, it is awesome! Not sure I want to trade any of it, lol.

Called 393 in London, took my name, but only for courtesey call for when it hits the floor. Will stick with first come first served. Holding it for regulars is BS. They'll hold it for st...

This is terrible. Just terrible. Gambrinus was the icon of craft beer in southwestern Ontario.
