So, the Rochester Mills Milkshake Stouts, I've had the blueberry, marshmallow and mint ones so far. There's gimmick there but not enough in my opinion. The girlfriend really liked the blueberry one and she generally dislikes stouts and porters. I thought it was fine. The marshmallow one disappointed...

It's out in Toronto now and thereabouts. Picked up several at King & Spadina. There's more in the back stockroom.

I made the LCBO rounds last night. My last stop was Queen's Quay. Two gentlemen there were extremely helpful. They hadn't heard of it but went to look it up internally. Out west has it including up to western Etobicoke because the London warehouse had sent the product out. The east warehouse, Whitby...

Link no longer works.

Trafalgar is pretty much the bar for bad beers, historically. I appreciated their creativity but man those unintentional sours were brutal. They are the only ones that I've returned to the LCBO for a refund. There's a bunch of just meh beers and breweries. I think there's a place for that, trying to...

Looking forward to trying them!

It certainly is. I'm sitting at 41 want to haves in one session. Unlikely to happen. Time to relegate things to the backup list.

I wish I could still do two days...

So I noticed in the browser, despite the "processing" overlay graphic that the cart was updated. I refreshed the browser and I was able to purchase. Sigh. That always happens to me, regardless of whether there's a special release or not. Good to know. That hasn't happened in the past for ...

Apparently a lot of processing is needed...

No but the website is hammered. No capacity added to deal with the onslaught.

I don't mind pumpkin beers. Having a couple a year around October is fine. Just like some of the winter beers in December and January.

My favourite though is Southern Tier Pumking. I'm going to try to brew a clone this year though with less ABV.

HHoE numerous times, Dominion and Saw Dust City a couple of times and most recently Merit. All good.

Not sure if they had it last year...but when I went 2 years ago there was no early access for Session 1. Everyone with tickets / baller passes / etc got same entry time for Session 1. Only the Night and Saturday ones had early access. Hmmmm... I'll have to recheck my previous years tickets. Maybe I...

Early access for the Friday afternoon session as an add-on isn't available this year. That's annoying. (Aside from Brewer's Gathering and presumably the seminars which I don't want.) Was this a known thing that I missed?

Had I known that I would have tried to get the early bird tickets.

Sigh.
