Anchor Brewing Ceases Operations

Doesn’t sound like they are doing so well! Or rather that Sapporo ran them into the ground.

Re: LCBO Hack...

If you've used the LCBO website to place an order you may want to contact your credit card company (or at least take a good look at your bill!)…

Re: Do you ask for a ‘pint’ anymore?

Speaking of cash… I was in London, UK two weeks ago… nearly every pub I went to was cashless / card only… I spent a week in London and never handled the local currency! But they were serving full pints!

Re: Great Lakes Brewpub (Queen's Quay / Jarvis)

I don't trust 3rd parties like google or Facebook … but businesses have no excuse for not posting on their website. If their hours of business are there they open they should post exceptions.
