I stopped by last night and had a Dos Equis (that was the only beer they had on tap that I've never had). Tap list was meh, bottle list was meh although they did stock ST IPA and Pumking.......nothing that you couldn't pick up at the LCBO. Clientele was a mix of hipters, long haired burly guys, and ...

What format is the Yellow Snow in? $16.50 seems a bit pricey even for a 750ml.

I'm happy to see the ST Pumking back, that was one of my favorites from last year.

its been hit and miss for me. Sometimes I have to go in to pay full duty and taxes, other times waved through. More often than not they just charge 13% on the total on my bill rather than going through each bottle size individually. Bottom line though, NEVER EVER under any circumstance underreport o...

FT: 2 Empty Growlers from Kuhnhenn Brewing

I have 2 empty growlers from Kuhnhenn Brewing for trade. Its not worth the drive back to Michigan for me to get a refund and it seems like a great waste if I throw them out. In addition to holding your favorite home brew, you can also use these as decorative items for your home to add that extra fla...

I do my best drinking after 10pm. Although it is a bit awkward when we have company over and that happens.

I made the trip and was able to pick up 12 of the 12 at the bier tempel for 7 euros a bottle if i recall correctly, no need to phone and drive up to the monastery. However it wasn't a weekend trip but part of an overall getaway.

For $800 you can pretty much fly into Brussels for a weekend and pick up a case.

I've had to do a drain pour multiple times after snoring myself awake and finding a half finished glass of beer at 3am. However, being the smart guy that I am I usually cap off a night of drinking with a ST IPA, Duggan #9, or something else accesible so I won't feel that bad about pouring it.

When I drank it in Montreal I was able to maintain a 24 hour erection. I had one this weekend and I was flacid all night. That you LCBO for looking out for me.

I echo pretty much the same sentiments as everyone else. Have been there for food, drinks, and to buy some #9 to go. The service is spotty at times, in the dining area we had trouble finding our waiter to get the bill, and when we did flag him down and asked for the cheque, he forgot about it. I've ...
