Ya, I also just picked up a 6er of Trois Pistoles already aged just shy of a year (production date: Jan 2006) I was very happy to find this as I've been wanting to cellar Trois Pistoles for awhile now. I never got very far! My only hesitation was that I've read the corked, 750ml bottles age better. ...

Summarize the Summer

Hello Bters. I have been studying-seeing Italy for a month. While I hate to leave I am more than anxious to return home. Beer here is expensive, and (with a few German import exceptions) sparse. I miss the Toronto scene (didnt know it was possible) and CANT WAIT to return to all our beer bars to mak...

Still pretty hit and miss in my opinion, but I won't complain too much about this lineup. Not too bad, actually there are a few real good ones in there! I'm not upset, there's enough there to keep me happy until Winter Seasonals. Only thing is, we'll have to see how long they last and where/when the...

It's funny how everyone seems to pick up a bottle of the Middle Ages Wailing Wench their first time at Premier.... I wonder why that could be ?

On a completely unrelated note, I usually keep my bottle next to me when I sleep, and not in the cellar with the rest of them ...

!Trading!

Is anyone interested in trading? If so, send me a message. I don't have too extensive of a list but a few good ones from recent trips to Quebec and Premier.

I also have a couple bottles of the DFH 90 minute.

Beyond a handful of good imports at the LCBO and a small selection of good Ontario micros at the Beer Store, your best (and pretty much only) option is to hit up some of our great beer bars. Like others, I would agree VOLO is your best start. The other places are all good too, and each one offers a ...

I wouldn't say it was a 'great' spring release at all. I'd say it was more of an average LCBO release with a couple great beers. Also, I'm starting to see some repeats in these releases. As much as I liked the Asam Bock, (and Christofel Blond in upcoming release) I can't help but *partially* feel ri...

They actually DID just axe the lager...give or take 3 months ago. Can't remember exactly when, but that one has been put to rest as well.

So doubt they'll bring back the ale...

I sent them a short email as well, just thanking them and telling them again of the great market response up here. I got a very kind and quick, almost within the hour, response from Claus Hagelman. Before trying their beers, DFH really impressed me. After trying a small handlful of their stuff (espe...

I was just thinking to myself the other day that Ontario needs another Munich-style Helles lager and another German style pils. What's the line homer uses when talking about the Designer Jean market: "These are the people who saw an overcrowded marketplace and said, 'Me, too!" Yes! Haha, ...
