I think that numbers indicating annual growth of craft beer sales in LCBO and the ever growing number of breweries and beers available in Ontario are pretty good indicators. Beer is meant to be enjoyed in a company of like minded people. It is our choice to either be happy or unhappy with our lives....

We came back from "a round trip" yesterday with a cargo van overloaded with kegs. As soon as we finalize the list, we will post it here.
All I can say, there will be LOTS of goodies for everybody, including beers making first appearance outside T.O.

To all of my dear friends and supporters of craft beer: I have shut down Gambrinus Army FB page, as well as Gambrinus Army twitter account because new owners and lawyers of our place where we all worked feel we have no right to keep in touch that way. I will keep everybody informed here. Cheers Milos

Well, I was going to wait till tomorrow. But, yes, it is sadly truth. We have two weeks left to serve few more pints. I am heartbroken and feel like I failed horribly all of the great stat that made Gambrinus what it is today. Our thanks go out to all the customers and friends who supported us. Stop...

Len, you bloody infidel! Do you realize that some of the Czech mullahs will issue a Fatwa on your head? And, yes, IMO the cans are pretty good, but nowhere close to unpasteurized version you can get in Czech. I fell in love with the beer all over again. The one thing I like about the whole idea is, ...

It's good to see some people got up early! I suspect there will be few late risers. Thanks everyone for being! It was an overwhelming success and a great rebuff to all those who say there isn't enough craft beer fans in London. It was great to see our friends from out of town, too. I enjoyed the con...
