Re: Goose Island Black Friday & Bourbon County Stout
If you introduce the value-for-dollar part of the equation, I'll entertain the notion that there are better options in Ontario. But I'm fairly price inelastic when it comes to something that I really like and big barrel-aged stouts and barleywines (unadulterated with any pastry adjuncts) tick that b...

Re: Goose Island Black Friday & Bourbon County Stout
I contacted the LCBO and they confirmed that BCBS 2023 is not on order this year. Devastating.

Re: Washington DC / Northern Virginia suburbs
I'll be in Washington in early June for the first time. It's a work trip, so I won't have total freedom but am still planning to carve out a few hours for some beer crawling. I've been through this thread, but it seems a bit dated. Does anyone have any recent updates on the city? ChurchKey still sou...

Re: Ontario brewed Tripels...
According to an email l got from Henderson Brewing, March 3 is International Tripel Day. Who knew? (not me). They are promoting their Rube Goldbeer. I've had it, considered it good, but in no way consider myself a judge of the style (or of many other styles for that matter. :wink: ) To those of you...

Re: Goose Island Black Friday 2021
In the past, I seem to recall there being a $50 limit when ordeirng to be shipping to store. So I pre-stashed a couple of other bottles in my cart to get over that limit. Went to check out and was told that the availability of one of my items had changed. I was sure I missed out, but turns out it wa...

Re: Vancouver Updates
I'll be in Vancouver early November, so I'll be sure to update this thread. Superflux is on my radar, but apart from that I don't know too much about Vancouver breweries (apart from the big ones). I also think we'll be in North Van most of the time, just a quick trip to visit family. Curious if any...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Looks like Westmalle Tripel is back! I was pleasantly surprised to see it on the shelves of the Front & Spadina LCBO when I popped in on Friday evening after work.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
I went the other way - grabbed a couple to start and then a few more after trying one and enjoying it. It's not quite Westmalle level, but I liked it more than La Trappe and Chimay Wit.
