It's odd how different the average Ontario craft beer consumer is compared to their counterparts south of the border.

You are not alone in that thinking. TH's IPAs fall off a cliff at around 4 weeks. I find Trillium has a little more longevity to it, but maybe a couple weeks more at best.

I've had KBS that was 5 years old that tasted great.

355? Is that a typo?
No, Canada gets 12 oz bottles.
I should have been more specific. I meant to say that small bottles are 341, whereas cans are 355. So I think it is a typo/mistake on your part but no big deal :)

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

It would be very interesting to know how they decided which sales to hoour and which to cancel... First roll out was for the public, the 2nd was for licensee's which the LCBO sold on accident. I know more than one person who purchased through the public sale and had their orders cancelled without e...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

you guys are aware that we're getting 14000 bottles in Ontario, right? It's actually just north of 15,000 from what I have seen and been told :) the bottom line: zero reason to freak out unless some d-bags are buying huge amounts to resell. so the lcbo should put a 12 bottle limit and that reduces ...

Re: Godspeed Brewery

Finally stopped by yesterday. The space is amazing ~ can't think of another Ontario brewery with a more inviting space. Tried 3 of the offerings, all of which were solid. It's a nice break from the norm to be able to have 3 full pours and not be buzzed at all :)

Having a 2009 St-Ambroise Stout Impériale Russe , also in remarkably fine shape at 7.5 years of age. Also has bold and rich flavors of winey dark fruit, chocolate ganache torte and a dry hint of coffee liqueur. Solid creamy palate is supported by a remainder of bittering hop, ALL the rough edges ar...

How Much will he pours be approx?
I'd assume at least $5-10 per sample just based on what regular beers go for. Possibly more depending on the rarity of the beers.
I heard that we are looking at $8 for 3 oz pours.

Re: Rorschach Brewing

Tried two of their beers that a friend recently picked up for me:

Session Pale ale - average
Dry Hopped Sour - not very good
