My wife bought me a years subscription to a Beer of the Month club back in the spring. In this shipment were two beers from Cheetah International Brewers. One is a Classic Dark Lager and the other is a Premium Mango Lager which I tried yesterday. It was weird and I felt there was a much too pronounc...

My wife and I go twice a year to Stratford. Although it is not a great place for craft beer, I really enjoy the food and patio at the Boars Head on Ontario St. They have a few Mill St including Tankhouse and a couple of Imports on tap plus the food is good at the Pour House, across from the Avon.

Maybe the West end is coming out slower. Mine is going to the Liberty Village LC and I have not heard from them either.

My third year trying and finally got a bottle. I tried off and on for 50 minutes at work and was hold for 10. Answered client emails while on hold so my boss knew I was working.

The glass sounds interesting.

My birthday is at the end of the month so I am hoping it comes in a little early.

Brew Your Own Places - Toronto

Hi,

I have a friend looking to find a brew-your-own place in Toronto. He does not want a place where they make the brew and you add the yeast, as he wishes to learn the process.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!
