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.

Of course I'll post my usual complaint about not posting the beer list before tickets are available. Sigh.

Thought about it. In my younger days I'd likely have gone. I've found I can't drink as much as I used to. I won't get my monies worth with "unlimited" samples. I never went to the previous one and I've never been to their Hafis location to see how 750 people fit in there but that number is...

Do both. Do afternoon rooftop patio at BrewCo and later on King St. Food and beer menus are different.

Summerhill, King & Spadina and Queen's Quay is good too. King-Spadina turned out well, you're lucky it dropped right by you guys. It's also a LC store that's not closed up at 9pm sharp like the 'service' so many offer. 11 PM!! Yes it has been very handy. The late hours are nice too. It'll be go...

Time is hard.

Other than doing the odd lottery, I've given up on extremely limited releases either via lcbo.com or in-store. I just can't be bothered anymore with the hassle, frustration and waste of time.
