Re: Any Ontario "nitro" stouts or esb's out there?

I don't think you can just hook up any porter or stout to a creamer tap and expect it to pour like St. Ambroise oatmeal stout or mill st cobblestone stout. Like take a keg of Great Lakes harry porter for example! If I'm wrong then my bad. Any brewers care to comment? I've recently had great lakes p...

Re: Left Field Brewery

Maybe they feel it would slow the staff down too much. It is a very busy place, at least on weekends. More of a bar than a bottle shop almost - it was full to capacity with a good 15-20 people outside waiting to get in.

Jake

I also loved the event. Some terrific beers, and very well organized. Already can't wait for next year! Other than bathrooms, which remain a bit of a problem, my only issue was the breadth of food options. The available options were of high quality, but a bit limited. A couple more vendors would be...

Boney, I was asked to come on here and clarify a few things regarding your comment. $25.00 includes a special one off wine glass I've designed for the event, a tasting book, one drink ticket and admission. There is always door admission when we shut down our regular business for special events. Not...
