Re: Persian Empire
I can’t see a reason to ever find myself in Peterborough, but if I do, I’ll see if I can grab a can of each for science. Also, a jeroboam of Arak seems like a no-brainer to me.

Persian Empire
Has anyone heard of this place? It popped up in my Facebook feed. The oddly named beers and low budget graphic design make me morbidly curious: Indian Pale Ale Otanobee River lager Belgian Style Beer (in Fraktur style lettering). Dark Porter Beer. I think I need to try this. The website is impressiv...

Re: 2020-2021 Winter Season at the LCBO
I swear that the low volume of BCBS year after year is due to that poorly attended launch with Vanilla Rye in 2015. I remember overhearing that boisterous marketing guy that was chatting up people in line complain under his breath to one of his underlings about the poor showing. How many people were...

Re: Some OG Bellwoods

Re: Kizuna 絆 Original
It's here! Kizuna 絆 Original Vermont Inspired IPA. Thoughts when you e tried it please. Tried one last night. Well constructed as expected for Godspeed, but nothing really stood out. It's a good beer and all but based on the description and collaboration with Hill Farmstead I was expecting a little...

Re: Amsterdam Brewery
Very curious to hear what any of you think of the four new lagers from Amsterdam. I am planning to grab some to try for myself later this week regardless, but would love to read some reviews. Cheers.

I’m buying for a friend who is picky and I dread asking for each at the cash and then perhaps turning them down.

It was still on the Ossington shop page about 30 minutes ago. I’m guessing sold out online and at Hafis.Craig wrote:Is it gone already? I looked online and can't find it.

I think Bellwoods announced Bine Hunter. I just can’t find where. Maybe a newsletter.

Re: Spending/Drinking More or Less on Beer during Pandemic?
Drinking less, but spending a lot more. The lambic available to go in the city has been hard to pass up. Who’d of thunk a year ago you’d be able to buy multiples of bottles like Iris and Vigneronne ‘off the shelf’ in Ontario! I’ve also been doing more trading, particularly internationally. The low p...

Re: Barncat Artisan Ales, Cambridge
I’m really looking forward to the pilsner. I find that breweries that make good IPAS tend to make good lagers.

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread
I noticed today they have updated the Utopias price. Has this come and gone and I missed it? Or, is it coming? Anyone have an idea? Just showed up, there's stock online, but they also email blasted it so it might go fast. Saw that this morning myself and grabbed a few. Even with the price increase,...
