Junction Craft Brewing is going to be at 2938 Dundas St West according to this page on their still under construction website that I managed to find with Google. 2938 Dundas W seems like an unlikely location.

I think it was the spring/summer of 2005, in cute little 250mL bottles.

When were those available?

Storm King was last available the winter of 2003-2004, I think.

Anybody know if tickets to these (especially the Beerbistro one) are available yet?

Just heard that somebody has rented 2876 Dundas St W (in the Junction) with the intention of opening a brewpub.

Given that this is two blocks from my house, I'm pretty interested.

Anybody heard anything?

Out of curiosity (and don't take this the wrong way), but what else did you think the answer might be? Directions to the secret good beer store in a lair buried deep underneath the city?

Drive to Buffalo.
