Re: Forest City Beer Fest

"Budwesier Gardens South Parking Lot" Also not sure if you are familiar with London but it was at the Covent Garden Market(which seems very small to use with that many breweries attending) for the past however many years which is across the street from the JLC or now the Budweiser gardens....

Nevermind, I didn't end up getting the platypus. A few dogpatch have resurfaced.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

I ended up grabbing Tropical Platypus and Mariposa through the app and didn't end up seeing Splendid Population until just now. If anyone wants to trade the platypus for a Splendid Population, let me know.

Re: Pilsner Urquell canned two days ago?

Hoping someone can explain how this is possible. ...then I noticed one in the back had a production date of 01 30 18" and expiry of 09 30 18. Is it even possible that this was actually canned 2 days ago in Czech then on the shelves here? Looking for a little knowledge on the brewery. I don't k...

Re: Bar Hop 2 (Peter St)

Don't know how long you've been there, but didn't Granite Brewery try a satellite space at Pape and Danforth for a little while, back in the day? Wonder if this is the same building? Not sure, I've only been on pape for a few years now, turning in my cool card from my "dundas west/everything w...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

That modern times beer was far beyond what I expected for a 3 month old pale ale. Beautiful peach pit shining through, no old stale hopes. Considering going back for more.

Pilsner Urquell canned two days ago?

Hoping someone can explain how this is possible. I'm assuming Pilsner Urquell is still brewed in the Czech. I was at TBS in leaside last night returning some empties. I decided to grab a few Pilsner Urquell cans and I had noticed one case at the production day of May 2017, then I noticed one in the ...

Re: Godspeed Brewery

The Bière de Soif might be my favourite beer they have done. I threw a 1/2 cup in the slow cooker for some carnitas and considering I started drinking this at 9am on new years day I was kinda blown away. I'll need to revisit just incase the hair of the dog was alive and well that morning.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

I was there at 9:34, walked in to see the sign say CBS @ 11am. I had to go to work for 10am, so I bailed. I had some friends there now saying the first 20 people who got a number are having a guided tasting with the CEO of founders at summerhill right now. Edit: apparently just the ceo talking about...

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

I heard the LCBO wasn't supposed to sell that 2nd batch. Major screw up on LCBO's side.
