Is it legal to purchase alcohol online and have it shipped to Ontario. Not if you're the LCBO. Otherwise, yes. The (federal) Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act says, Notwithstanding any other Act or law, no person shall import, send, take or transport, or cause to be imported, sent, taken or t...

I'm not expert in this area but I think the issues have everything to do with liquor laws and nothing to do with a lack of innovative thinking. Under the Liquor Control Act , who has the power to authorize the establishment of stores? Why the Liquor Control Board of Ontario: The purposes of the Boar...

I'm just on my last day of a family trip out in Nova Scotia and was struck especially when reading this post by how much I'm going to miss the beer availability out here. To me the NSLC is basically the LCBO on a smaller level (although having a good selection of Propeller and Garrison beers goes a ...

Have you tried the Galt Knife Old Style Lager? I have and I enjoy it like every Grand River beer I've ever had. But I'd tried it on some of my macro-oriented friends and hadn't gotten the same positive responses I got with the Town Hall. I was curious since I wouldn't have pegged it to get retired....

Got up last weekend and picked up some of the Plowman's Anniversary Ale. Delicious! One question I didn't have a chance to ask at the brewery but someone here will undoubtedly know - what happened to the Town Hall Lager? I always thought it was the perfect beer to keep on hand for those friends who ...

I haven't noticed Creemore anywhere in the ACC. There's a Creemore stand (serving only Creemore) about 50 metres west of Lord Stanley's Mug right by the Tim Horton's stand (sort of the southwest corner of the main concourse I think). In my experience that stand is often closed. The best bet for Cre...

Being a sports fan and a beer fan I remember being pretty excited when I heard that the ACC was going to have an on-site brewery. It was always Molson affiliated but the 1st year they brewed Toronto's Own there. I recollect that it wasn't anything out of this world, but it was a huge upgrade over th...
