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. It's too small, for one, and currently holds a variety store/post office that recently fou...

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

Although now that I think about it, it may have been available once since then, in 330mL bottles. Not sure.

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

Re: 10 BY

Surprised and a bit disappointed that the bottles lasted so long for this third batch of 10BY...perhaps the local market is saturated for this type of beer I think that's probably true, using the "can access the brewery during business hours" definition of "local". Getting wider...

Seriously? You've never bought beer for consumption two or three days later before?

Put it wherever you like. We're talking two days here, not long-term aging. Unless you're gonna store it in the oven (switched on), you're not going to do any damage in that short a time.

Doesn't include the Beer Store, or (more importantly) sales directly out of the brewery (including restaurant/bar sales).

New Brewpub Rumour

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?
