Re: Any new beers at Rogers Centre this year?
Funny how the pricing there is so divorced from the real world pricing of those beers. Henderson golden Ale (assuming that's the Rush beer) is $3.40, Jelly King is $6.50. They clearly just price everything at what they think the highest amount they can get away with is. I'd totally get a Jelly King ...

Re: Great Lakes
I'd be happy to have it delivered to my place in Guelph and hold it for you.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Old Galt was a neat place, but man every time I went there it felt really, really expensive. I'm not sure that business model is viable in Ontario. Which is a shame, because other than the prices on the beers that place was really cool.

Re: Down to my last bottle of Boon Gueuze
The oldest bottle in my cellar is 13 years old. I guess I should keep saving it, lol.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
I'm surprised you guys haven't heard of Cassel. They were one of the first in the wave of craft breweries in the Ottawa area after Beau's. I don't think they had huge distribution outside of that area, but they have been in the LCBO a few times, been in festivals, done some collabs with other brewer...

Re: What're you drinking right now?
I've been drinking a bunch of Fairweather High Grade IPA, which I'm very glad is in my local 'BO.

Re: Jasper, AB and Revelstoke, BC
Jasper Brewing has been there for quite a while now, sister brewery to Banff Brewing. Looking at their website, it seems they have locations in Edmonton and Calgary too. It's been aaaaaaaages since I was there (Banff, not Jasper), but I came away thinking of them as kinda like a 3Brasseurs sort of p...

It just changed hands, the place might be in for a bit of a makeover.

Re: Lot 41 - Delta Marriott Pearson Airport
The place closest to my work, The Shakespeare Arms, was one of those places pretty much forever. They just recently got a single rotating tap of craft, which seems like it's ending up just alternating Great Lakes IPAs. Such a nice change.

We haven't seen To Ol in a while, have we? I hope this is a sign they're going to bring back their bigger beers.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
A couple years back, they kept the Highlander branding on their flagship beers, but changed the name of the brewery. https://ridgerockbrewco.ca/blogs/industry-craft-beer-news/highlander-brew-co-rebranding-as-south-river-brewing Seems like they left the old branding website and social media up too, b...

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
I mean, it's also pretty impressive to run a brewery at 80.
If you're wondering who this brewery is, they used to be known as Highlander.
