Re: Best Ontario Beer to Stockpile?

I know some folks have recommended other GLB beers in this thread, but the GLB lagers are a great choice - $44.25 for the case. I usually keep a good amount of this around for visitors that don't drink much craft, and it seems to last a long time.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Nice to have this back... I think it's been several years since we've seen it.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

Those particular bourbons aren’t usually auctioned, although I’m not sure why they went with the VSO site this time around when they used the main LCBO site last time (and even shipped a bunch to stores too).

Re: Top 5 B.S.

Great Lakes Lager. A case of 24 for $50 is hard to beat, it’s good cold, and fits the lawnmower beer requirement.

For non-Ontario, it’s Jever for me - delicious Pilsner that’s relatively cheap.

Re: Amsterdam Brewery

Anyone hear anything about Double Tempest this year? It’s usually released around this time of year, but I haven’t seen any news coming from Amsterdam.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Inflation's a bitch so I've been searching for palatable, cheap options as my "utility" beer. I generally find the German imports to be high quality for the dollar, but honestly I've been drinking a fair bit of Cool Beer and it's definitely serviceable for $39/case. I know, I'm probably g...

Re: Great Lakes

Had a Karma Simcoe last night and it was excellent. Agreed the Lake Effect was tasting really good this year as well. I didn't enjoy Robohop this year however. Nothing wrong with it, I just prefer it being a WC double instead of a NE double. Agreed re: Robohop. It was nice, though, that they releas...

I ended up with an allocation of the Weller 12 and 1792 Single Barrel - nice haul for a first time win!
