Badger Glass OR better

Looking for a Badger Brewery glass, I could take something equally as awesome. Unfortunately I only have, well, cash to offer, unless you want a drink at volo or similar bar. I could handle that, I think.

Just went to the Parliament & Gerrard LCBO (which is not even close to Gerrard) but conveniently at the end of my street. The beer guy hadn't even heard of Denisons, which is first saying a lot seeing as he is the beer guy, and second scary since apparently they are supposed to be stocking it.

I almost died from Strep Throat this past March. Cepacol is the 'doctor recommended' lozenge. Also for the pain try going to the pharmacist and asking for Mersyndol, it's acetaminophen, codeine and a sleeping drug. Sleep, and don't forget to get it checked up and take antibiotics!

I was in St. Catharines during the storm, the power went out... It was a great excuse to go drink at the Merchant Ale house for a few hours though!

Saw that there was an update and more-or-less ran (ultra ttc marathoned) to the Bay and Bloor LCBO to grab a six-pack. She's chilling now, I can't wait to have a little of my old Halfiax neighborhood in Toronto.

It's a shame because if you want six (in bottles) it lands you 15$ at the brewpub. Given how stellar the beer is I would lap up the opportunity to buy it in 6-packs. I mean, you can't always bring your growler everywhere...

They were already for sale at the brewpub store on Friday - the Pilsner is good, well balanced, it'll be a good summer beer for sure.

That would also be sweet. A crash brewing course for homebrewers. I'm sure there will be an intro course for people interested.

I would hardly say the Merchant has 'perfected' it's beers but the public does like them, heck, I used to drink there every night of the week.

This is interesting though, something definitely to consider.

I would like to try this with some other brews as well, perhaps Sinha Stout and St. Ambroise. (A regular stout is just an Imperial Stout that is retaining water!) As for carbonation, have you ever double-iced a beer? This would remove still more of the water, enabling you to re-combine the thicker ...
