Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

For those put off by the "Enjoy By Jan 6th" note on the Bastard Box, it's worth noting the following: - Stone emphasizes the freshness of their hoppy beers so much that they give then pretty tight "Enjoy By" dates. In this case, the beers were all bottled in October (at least in ...

I was there recently as well, and will concur with everyone on the beer. A few OK things on tap - I had Augusta Ale - but nothing to get geeks excited. As for the food, it's quite good. It's Texas style, so it's a bit different from most of the other BBQ places in town. The best thing we ate there b...

Kichesippi said they'd be interested, knives came out. To clarify - Kichesippi said they'd be interested in the "5 free listings" offer, but not necessarily the "buy an ownership share" offer. A lot of the coverage hasn't made it clear that these are two different things. The op...

Re: LCBO Spring Craft Beer Release 2015

A few of these seemed to be missing the brewery name, so I have added them here (see above in bold) There are a few other typos/errors as well. When I have some time a bit later, I'll try and do as a I did with last month's list and add a full & correct name for each beer, while also leaving th...

“We [Petit Sault] are the third largest brewery in New Brunswick,” she said. That can't be even close to being true unless she doesn't consider Moosehead to be a brewery in NB. Moosehead...

Re: Labatt Prohibition Series

http://www.labattus.com/prohibition/ Any information on this, is it U.S. release only? Yes, these will be Stateside only. Aside from the name, Labatt US has no connection to Labatt Canada. AB-InBev had to sell off the US operations as part of the merger. It's now owned by North American Breweries, ...
