Re: Cask Days 2016

Thinking of seeing what (if any) is left Sunday. Anyone with any ideas what the status is on remaining casks.

It'd be awesome if they had someone keeping a live spreadsheet or online list of what casks were still flowing......

Does anyone know if there is a way to just search 'all stores' on the new website? I hate having to look up postal codes of LCBOs that I'd be willing to go to just to see if they have the beer. Sometimes things are best the way they are, and I fucking hate the new LCBO website. Also, the 'find simi...

BS Round 2

Just popped into Summerhill.... inventory as of last night (20th) showing 38 cases of Breakfast, when I got there, there were only 2 left on the shelf, so if you were planning to go there, you may have to cross your fingers and hope they've got a few more kicking around in the back (though it seems ...

BS

Yay, the Breakfast stout seems to be sporadic at best... seems like they were testing the waters at few before perhaps the full release...? All I know is that the big places like King/Spadina were cleared out of everything... the shelves were all bare, and there were certainly no stockings hung with...

None for Breakfast

Liberty Village also had 4 out of 5, no breakfast stout... maybe Monday if I'm lucky.... and it still isn't showing up on the website yet, so again, if you have a decently sized store, good chance they're in....

Dirty Bastard

I've had Dirty Bastard before and didn't pick up any of those flavours... it just tasted much like a Scotch Ale.....strange.... perhaps it was just a combination of trying all the beers at once?

Has anyone here had the Panil Enhanced yet? I quite like their sour but have been reading not so great stuff about it. Panil Enhanced (final) is showing up in stores. As I haven't had them before and do enjoy my belgium sours, thought I'd give it a try. To be honest I quite like it. Not a typical s...

Actually, I would say the roll is is not abysmal, but their database tracking is abysmal. For those worried only King has Deschutes, I woudn't rely on the website right now. I just popped into my local LCBO and they had a decent stock of Butte on the shelves... so just go take a chance and check yo...
