Many of those users are bots trying to register. There are also a lot of people like me that don't post as frequent. Why? Because I post on other forums as well...too busy, perhaps enjoy fine beers but not even close as passionate as some of the frequent members. I enjoy whisky and wine just as much.

This is some bad news as I am one that lives on Stadium Rd. I enjoy walking home with a refreshing 2-5 in the brown box.

On another note, apparently their Sleeping Giant barley wine is releasing tomorrow.

Having it now, the posters above are right that the smoke is subtle. I am a fan of smoked beers.

It does suck when that happens. Sometimes it works the other way and the manager at your local store will deny the transfer request. They will if its a big ticket item and in your case 2 of each of those beers totals over $100. I need to ask my local store for 2x Amrut (Indian Whisky) from other sto...

Since moving to Alberta and the excellent supply of beer here I've found that I don't actually keep that much in the fridge, and I certainly don't have to hoard like an Ontarian :wink: Dammit now I need to rant. :lol: Yes I hate hoarding in Ontario. Its not just beer either, its wine and spirits fo...

I will the 18yo first based on Highland Park whisky and pick 2 up in Aurora. Although some people think HP12 is a good balanced whisky, I dont care for it or the 15 or 16 (I think LC sells 15 now). The HP 18 and 25 are outstanding whiskies and probably top 5 single malt OBs I have tried. I guess the...

Follow Cass' lead, why not form a private import "consortium," get to know brewers and distributors outside of Ontario, while at the same time making connections within the LCBO and learning about the system, while at the same time drinking good beer! Hell, form a CAMRA chapter, or a beer...
