I think maybe it is me, mind you one of the times it was really pronounced it was on tap. It was always one of my favourites. I'm going to give it another try and keep my fingers crossed.

I was at sherway the other day and didn't see any kits or refills... although I didn't bother asking anyone. Whats included in the refills and the kits? I imagine a drive up to brampton could get you all you need for less at the homebrew shop.

$12 for a growler of Great Weiss North is well worth it. I sampled a good bit of it yesterday while at The Ex. I may take a drive down to pick some up.

+1 here as well. I was just in there today. Great selection and very helpful. Well worth the 20 min drive from my place.

It kind of works like a hybrid of facebook and twitter. I was pretty skeptical about yet another social network site but I've found myself using more than any of the others. I can send you and invite and you can try it out if you'd like.

I've been on g+ for a few weeks now and there is a decent craft beer community there but most of the members are U.S. based. I'd like to have more Canadians in my beer circle. If anyone is interested send me your email as I have a bunch of invites.

I sit just me or has Beaus had excessive Diacetyl lately? Either that or I'm becoming more sensitive to it.
