Re: Cask Days 2015
I wish they had more milds and bitters. Every year they focus on American styles that (like others say on this site) are better on tap anyway. Maybe one day it will be re-named : "Randaled Days". i've never seen a randal there, but i get what you're saying. guess you're asking ontario bre...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO
Wasn't BCBS and BCBBW on tap somewhere in Toronto this year?? Yeah, they did a one-off event earlier in the year. The question is if that was a prelude to maybe a seasonal release of some sort, or if it was just a one-off never to be seen again. Stone and Sierra Nevada started the same way, maybe A...

Re: What're you drinking right now?
Too bad Andechs isn't there. I'm interested in hearing the comparisons. I find Andechs incredibly sweet. It's a beautiful spot to drink beer, but haven't fallen in love with the beer itself. I haven't had Andechs' doppelbock for a couple years now, but I had Weihenstepaner Korbinian and found it cl...

Hofbräu Dunkel - my gosh it's nice! Happy Oktoberfest, y'all… I'm having Hofbrau Original right now, I picked it up after going through quite a few Dunkels this week. The Original has a bottling date of August 4th 2015 (Bayview Village location), so I couldn't resist. If you liked the Dunkel, keep ...

I've noticed that a few times at funk night in the past, but you could conceivably give one of those beers a wider release down the road and it would be fine.

Lol, yeah that's what I meant by sweet. We can agree PU doesn't taste like an alcopop or cake.atomeyes wrote:
TL;DR = it's not sweet like pure sugar or like chocolate cake would be sweet, but it would be "sweet" like a loaf of bread could be described as "sweet"

[ Therefore it takes 5-8 minutes for each separate return with a different receipt.
