As a 4 time Session attendee I have enjoyed them all and I look forward to next year. I agree it was crowded and the washroom situation was almost a literal #^%show . I have no idea about Artscape but they sound like a poor organization - I hope someone cut them a new one after the porta pottie fai...

Otherwise, hopefully some fresh Founders Centennial will show up as we're a few 6pk's away from being completely out in Ottawa (stock is thin everywhere though it appears). There was a posting on the Founders newsletter and website that because of some delays/issues with expansion there are slowing...

Re: LCBO iPhone app (new?)

Hey, Just noticed that the LCBO app for the iPhone lets you browse beer selections per store... lets you pick a favorite store, and when you search for products it automatically lets you know how much inventory there is of that thing in your favorite store... VERY NICE. Cheers. Not just favourite s...

Just having one now (bottle). Is that even possible for 115 IBUs? I'm sure there are people with greater knowledge that can respond but my understanding is that this is completely possible as IBU is often just the 'calculated' bitterness based on hop additions and alpha acid %ages.
