Re: Bellwoods Brewery
Skeleton Key is still around because it is not that good. Spiced brews don't do anywhere near as well as a BBA or Cognac barrel aged good imperial stout. This spiced brew was pretty bad. I won't try another but that is my personal taste though. BOYD is more up most people's alley so it sells quicke...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery
Interestingly......Bounty Hunter is 20% cheaper than when they released it in 2014......hopefully they are not losing money on this! Lol. Really looking forward to this though. One of my favourites from Bellwood's. Demand dropping can definitely do this. Don't envision this instance would be a rise...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery
12 cdn=8.50 USD for a 500 ml of high proven quality. That's fair and reasonable. yup. the comparables? Rodenbach Vintage - $12 at the LCBO. zero fruit added. 75 cL bottle. lower abv than 3MM Dragon's Milk - no fruit. barrel aged. $7.60 for 75 cL. similar ABV than 3MM. Dragon's Milk is good fresh, M...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Can anyone do an in-depth tasting of the Six Boroughs Bourbon Barrel-Aged Rye Porter? Initially when I heard about this beer I thought it was going to be just another Ontario barrel aged/over priced fizzle; but it's anything but. This beer is big, yet alcohol is well in check, even for this style. ...

Re: First time tapping a keg - advice needed
Should be a standard Sanikey "D" connection. Get the keg nice and cold then tap it. Warm kegs foam badly and banging it around setting up the tap will make it worse. Beer store should be able to confirm connection as they are selling you the keg!
Enjoy!!
Enjoy!!
