Re: Quayle's Brewery

I had their Fiddle and Field Pale Ale last year when it was at the LCBO. It was one of the best new beers of 2022 that I have tried. I cannot comment on their other beers, but I was impressed by that one.

Re: True History Brewing

I agree. Love their beer and the tap room. It's already in the top few in the city for me I think.

I just got a bottle. I had been calling off and on since 8:30 and only getting busy signals. When I got through, it was about 20 minutes on hold.

I got to RBC just before 7:30 and missed out since the line was too long in front of me. I'm glad the LCBO employees let us know at 8 who was getting it and who wasn't so I didn't have to wait another hour at least.

No, I was wrong. I guess they are open today, but not all weekends.

You're correct, that test batch was a blonde ale. We decided to switch it up after that.

I tried one of their whiskey's 2 or 3 years ago in Portland and I really enjoyed it. I was drunk before I even got to Rogue though, so that take that with a grain of salt. I remember my favourite of their spirits was the hazelnut rum.
