Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I asked an employee at Third Moon about it this week. I think he was either a brewer or owner. He confirmed it wouldn’t be sold at Third Moon as it was physically brewed at Sawdust, but would be at Sawdust and Beertown and LCBO, and that it would be 3M’s first LCBO appearance.

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?

Since newer West Coast IPAs are so few and far between I have been going back to the classics. Boneshaker in particular really hits the mark for me, as I love the heavier malt body combined with the hop bite.
Boneshaker is $80 for a 24 at TBS, $3.33 a can, not bad for a great 7%er!

I’ve also recently revisited Ransack after years away. I love it again like I used to. They had 4-packs at superstore for $14 until I cleaned them out eventually :D

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out

Rumours have it that the Furnace Room Brewery in Georgetown has been sold to the Keenan’s Irish Pub chain. They have never had in-house food service at the brewery so I would think that this will lead to Keenan’s serving food there, and brewing beer to be served in the pubs. In recent months Furnace...

Re: Collective Arts

Ransack used to be my go-to IPA. Now I rarely buy it except to re-try it to see if it’s as good as it used to be. It never is.

I even had a saying “you can’t go wrong with a Ransack”
