Been to Pepperwood a few times. I really enjoy the TNT shrimp they have there!

Recently got a new job in Burlington so I may move out that way eventually.

I think kmallet is talking about the area I mentioned. Homer Watson is definitely a drive from there. Used to live on Fifth Avenue, which was close to Kingsway Dr. and Franklin St. Was around the time that the Castle closed up so I didn't make it up there too often. What happened to Bogey's? I used...

Used to live very close to that area. May have to move back soon! I still have a "golden ticket" hanging around somewhere for a growler of the Executioners Ale.

Went to their board game night last month. Was a pretty good time and they had a great turnout!

The drink tickets last month were monopoly money. They said they would be switching it up every month so you can't go and raid your own monopoly board ;)

Just picked up some Red Racer on the weekend. Tried looking for some earlier but it disappeared pretty fast. Luckily the LCBO at Dundas & Mavis seems to have a bit of a stockpile left. My top 5: 1. Red Racer 2. Curmudgeon 3. Southern Tier IPA 4. Mad Tom 5. Smashbomb They're all pretty good IMO. ...

Used to always have a few bottles of Liberty Ale in the fridge when it was around. Excellent news to see it coming back!

I was over a few weeks ago and bought quite a bit of stuff (over $200 worth of various beers and some other items). Figured there was a 95% chance of getting charged duty anyway, I just filled out my declaration card and crossed at the Whirlpool bridge which is for Nexus holders only. If you fill ou...

Picked up two sixers at the Meadowvale Beer Store in Mississauga yesterday. Looks like they had just got it in as it was still on a cart waiting to be placed on the shelf (self-serve store).

I love their stuff! Every time I'm in the Kitchener/Cambridge area I'll usually pick up 12 bottles. Probably my favourite beer they made was the Plowman's Anniversary Ale last year. Still have a "golden ticket" somewhere around my house for a growler of Executioner Ale, but I don't think t...

Just picked up some Upper Canada Lager yesterday. It's a good beer to have when friends come by that only drink Coors Light (or equivalents).

Another option is Wellington Trailhead.

I live right by the brewery, but with their hours of only open until 4pm I can only get there on Saturdays. Could drop by there this Saturday but my roommate picked up a case a week ago, so we still have plenty ;)

Went there tonight and only the Porter was still available. Picked up a few bottles of that and some of the Crazy Canuck Pale Ale.

Hopefully they make more soon!

Other than the incredibly long wait at the border on the way back, I had a great time! I think if people go shopping in Buffalo (or wherever those guys went), they should take a car - it would be much faster. Other than that, the Stone Lucky Bastard Ale was excellent along with the food at the Blue ...
