I was able to grab tickets again this year. Super excited, especially about the French Vanilla Militia variant.

Looks like the weather is going to be shit again though.

Re: Best tobacconist near Premier Gourmet?

Tinderbox was the one I stopped into on my last trip to premier. Not a bad selection from what I remember. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Thanks, I'll check it out. Ever been to Casa Del Humidor in Rama? It's the best walk-in humidor I've come across in Ontario. Just a couple minutes down the ro...

Best tobacconist near Premier Gourmet?

I know there are a couple of other cigar smokers on the Bar Towel. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good cigar shop that's close to Premier Gourmet?

Small Town Not Your Father's Root Beer (5.9%)

It tastes good, but is this even beer?

honestly, if the above doesn't appeal to you, then i guess you shouldn't waste your time and money on going. the day is about 10% about buying DL bottles and 90% about drinking and sharing beer with strangers who love beer. even if you hate DL you can easily flip it into beers of similar value. whe...

It's May in less than 8 hours.

Still no sign of Sierra Nevada in the LCBO.

Tonight I had a Victory Dirtwolf and a Stone Go To IPA.

Both are fantastic beers.

Great weekend. The weather sure did suck but it didn't take away from the fun at all. Met lots of great people in the lines and got to try dozens of beers I'd never had before, plus got a few pours of some old favourites. Both myself and the friend I went with won barrel aged variants. Sold my Vanil...

If you don't end up liking Dark Lord all that much on the positive side you have a very nice bottle of top quality soy sauce ! Any beer event is all about the event as a whole. Tastes in both beer and how one chooses to drink (and even enjoy) it is subjective. Sounds like a win/win situation to me!...

I was referring to Dark Lord. As for the ones you've mentioned. I've had a majority of those mulitple times from the comfort of my home. But good for you for getting to taste those. Have fun in the cold and rain! You're so cool it almost hurts. I will have boat loads of fun in the cold and rain btw...

No interest in going. Long way for just an ok beer. The event is heavily hyped which invariably means leaving disappointed. I'd much rather hit Chicago on a random weekend for a relaxed time hitting HopLeaf, Map Room, Local Option, etc. And FFF for takeout on my way back. Just ok beer? I'll remembe...

As I said, I only go to Toronto for sporting events, concerts etc. so I won't be picking up any Thrust until it hits LCBO shelves.
