Favourite Ontario Brewer: - Probably still Godspeed, however I rarely have the...

Favourite Ontario Brewer:
I'm probably going to stick with GLB, but the few examples of Fairweather beers I have had impressed me a lot.
Thanks for the love and support of GLB! Lots of great things to come in 2024.

Not anytime soon, unfortunately. There are some cans currently available in our retail shop(s) and through our online store.

Re: Best canned "lawnmower" beer?

I love this revisiting a decade later stuff. Not out of nostalgia, but what we have learned and how we and the options have changed. Good fun. FWIW, I'm up voting Great Lakes Lager. Love it! I'll throw out Sunnyside Session IPA or a nice cold Absacker Helles. Gaslight from Muddy York also hits the ...
