OK, thanks for clarifying. I didn't know they would have custom labels here in Can.

I am guessing (hoping) they are the fall seasonals brewed this year. We just got the K:rlek Höst/Vinter (Fall/Winter) 2014 released at the Systembolaget (Sweden's LCBO, sort of).

What picture are you referring to? A pic of the actual beer at the LCBO store?

The pic posted in this thread is from an even older edition.

Awesome!
I may have read about that they were starting a brewery in Whitby, but I had totally forgot about it.

Huge thanks for all suggestions so far :D

Yeah, a few pints and a bite to eat at the Granite pub will probably suit me better than a growler. It has been added to the list 👍🍻

Sort of. I am visiting just outside of Toronto for another 2 weeks or so. I will see what Granite have to offer, but I tend to go for diversity rather than large quantities of one beer, so growlers is not my best bet. I appreciate the hint regardless :)

Thanks ercousin. Much appreciated.

I'll make a list, and then narrow it down to a few depending on what is available.

Cheers.

Thanks for replying. Yeah, I kinda figured considering most breweries are doing seasonals etc Was looking at Sawdust (because I've liked what I have tried from them) and Flying Monkeys - OK so Barrie isn't within the GTA, but not that far anyways. Will have a further look, and contact a few to see w...

Recommended brewpubs / brewery stores in the GTA?

Any recommendations on what breweries are worth a visit, based on your own experiences? I've only been to a few (Mill Street, Nickel Brook, Church Key, Bellwood & Grand River). I am not referring as much to what tours are the best (never took one at any of the breweries I went to visit), but rat...

Thank you very much for straightening a few things out, Craig! To clarify, the "order only" range within Systembolaget, is a bit more complicated than what it may seem from my brief description. Also, the rules changed Sept 1st - to the worse for many breweries - but each craft brewery can...

A comparison between Canada and Sweden, and a few questions.

Hey! I have been lurking the Bar Towel forum on and off, and Cass was kind enough to set me up with an account, even though registrations are closed atm. I live in Sweden, but my intention is to move to Ontario within a year or so. Currently I spend some time a cpl of times/year in the GTA, and that...
