Literally ticked a box, and we're off to the races. First episode is downloadable, and the second, which I'm editing as I type, will be as well. And hopefully we can get it listed on iTunes soon.

Re: Toronto Beer Podcast - Literally random talk

Hmmmmm, interesting problem. I hadn't even considered downloading it off sound cloud. We're actually getting ready to record now, but I'll look into how to make that happen. It's probably a privacy or copyright thing I have unclick or some such thing.

Hey guys, Got a bottle of Love Fuzz from Black Oak and did up a review of it for the blog. It's a bit of a strange beast, but I really like it. Not quite a BIPA, but definitely too caramelly/molassesy to be a stock pale ale. It's quite something. Full review here: http://www.torontobeerblog.com/beer...

Belgian, there is a proposal that you can share profits across all licenses (so one store can go way over, as long as one is way under). And while Jordan already knows I disagree with his optimism on further changes, I disagree with his optimism on further changes. I cover it fully in my shiny new p...

Because I live the lazy-life, my first post about the big change, is actually just me scooping a note Victor from Garden Brewers posted to Facebook yesterday. Some good perspective though.
