We should get in touch with the brewer to make sure this batch is not off.

I just had the Aphro on tap at Red Room - no creamy pillowy head, zero big deep sweet vanilla-cocoa aroma at all. Is this even the right beer? Flavors were mostly all short and bitter-dry with no roundness and supple cocoa-dark fruit flavors I'd expect. When it's dead in the keg it's not a great be...

I suspect it's not a rule made by Volo/organizers but a requirement for the liquor licence or from the location. I don't know about the liquor license. I had no problems grabbing two pints at once when Cask Days was at Hart House. I don't see much difference between the two venues. If it was due to...

do we know how much of this stuff is in ontario? Will this be hard to get? Kuhnhenn 4D is still not listed in stock, but I picked up a bottle at the Dupont/Spadina LCBO just now. A whole shelf of them there, so likely they are around in other stores now too. One of the LCBO's I called said there we...

Pretty sure the label has changed. Unfortunately, I think the identifying sticker is on the neck of the bottle. But the ABV is curious. Curious, indeed.

Seems like these guys are already embedded in the community, the baseball theme is cool, and I'm excited to have more thoughtful and hardworking brewers in the beer scene of Toronto.

LOL. The site is useless for craft beer drinkers as it doesn't distinguish between bars that only/mostly serve micro beer and those that peddle Molbatts garbage. That's why you see The Scot's Corner, Poacher's Arms, etc. listed on the site, with the inference that those places are somehow worth vis...

More for the rest of you. :wink:
Cheaper than GLB RIS, which has relatively mediocre packaging. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.
