Re: New non-LCBO/TBS beer releases
I'm hoping it will last until the Monday as it will be my only chance to get over there. I didn't love Warp & Weft either last time, so I doubt I'll want more than one bottle of it. Maybe I can volunteer to grab a couple bottles of it for people here…although this weekend might be a bit hectic,...

Re: Redline Brewhouse - Barrie, ON
This thread got me thinking about Barrie breweries as I was planning on driving through the area. I just reviewed Barnstormer Brewery in the pub reviews if you have interest in that establishment for your story. Thanks, Alsiem. I chatted with Dustin at Barnstormer for the story (now posted on the m...

Re: Redline Brewhouse - Barrie, ON
Is Redline open now? Or did you just pop in for samples? Either way I will swing by ASAP to check out their setup. The Local is definitely good for Ontario craft on tap. Somewhat surprised that a proper beer bar hasn't opened up in Barrie. It will happen. I think one would do well at this point if ...

Re: Redline Brewhouse - Barrie, ON
It's nice having a few options! Flying Monkeys is building a tap room as well (and the Local is always good).dale cannon wrote:http://www.redlinebrewhouse.com/
I live in Barrie. I'm interested. Hope the beer is good.
That'll make 3 breweries in Barrie:
Flying Monkeys
Barnstormer
Redline
Making progress.

Re: Redline Brewhouse - Barrie, ON
I am frequently up in Barrie and Innisfil so thanks for that. Hope the beer (and food) is good too. The more, the merrier! The head chef was at Oscars and The Farmhouse before this - two places that had/have pretty decent food. The head brewer (Seb who used to be at Flying Monkeys I believe) wasn't...

Redline Brewhouse - Barrie, ON
Sorry if this has come up else where (I did a search and didn't find anything). There's a new brewery opening in Barrie (South end by the Molson Centre - on Bayview) called Redline Brewhouse - it should be open in the next few weeks. I stopped in there to chat a few days ago and the place is fairly ...

Re: Worst Beers!
Opened my bottle of BOYD 2014 about a month ago. Maybe not the worst beer, but one of my biggest disappointments. I really liked the 2014 BOYD - still have one left, not sure how long I should hang on to it. Skeleton Key on the other hand was an absolute struggle to get through. Have one sitting in...

Re: Canadian Brewing Awards 2015
For those who are interested, the CBAs were handed out on Saturday: http://www.canadianbrewingawards.com/winners/years/2015/ Perhaps they've done this before and I can't remember, but I found it interesting they posted the full entry list as well. Usually with competitions (as least in my industry)...
