Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

They don't have any list online about what they have at the bottle shop currently, do they? I'm thinking of making a trip out but would rather go when I know they have some really good stuff. Also, is the better location to visit the burlington location if I'm more interested in sour beers? And the...

Re: New LCBO Beer Search site

Yesterday the guy who runs the LCBO Beer Watch announced a new site he created that lists all beers and ciders available at a certain store: https://beersearch.on.somerandominternetsite.com/ Great if you want to see if it's worth going to a certain store or not. This is awesome. I'm always checking...

Yes! \m/
I for one am looking forward to it. The format of FM's offerings has been until now my main deterrent from picking them up more frequently. I hope they can some of their seasonal as well.

Interesting, what was it that you didn't like about this one? I just had this for the first time at the Albino Rhino Beer fest and recall enjoying it, albeit after a couple dozen other samples.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Clutch by Redline is in the LCBO now. Only a few stores in Toronto so far (Yonge and Eg, Summerhill, Cooper Street, and Queen and Coxwell). 473ml Can - $2.85 As is flight delay IPA from Barnstormers. Good to see more Barrie Brewed beers hitting the LCBO shelves.

I pick up some of those Euro lagers every now and then for fun....never had one yet that I want to buy a second time. As for the topic of this thread...I'm missing the Unibroue beers these days...really don't want to have to visit TBS but looks like it's about time. I wouldn't recommend it, I just ...

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

I definitely agree that this years maple porter canned is not as good as the previous years batches. I find it to be inconsistent, the first can I had tasted kinda boozy/tin taste 2 it, but then I had another a couple days later and did not get the boozy/tin taste at all but more maple. The Maple P...

Right now, drinking an Immodest that was canned yesterday... damn it's drinking amazingly well
what city did you pick Immodest up in? The LCBO inventory isn't showing any stock.
