east coast Canaduh trip

I'll be on a long ass road trip out to the east coast of Canada for a week. What local beers would you say are worth hauling back? Do the liquor stores out there allow you to break 6 packs into singles like lcbo? Other than releases available via lcbo (Garrison imperial ipa/hop yard, propeller esb),...

But just so I don't sound like I'm giving the LCBO too much credit: WHY OH WHY ISN'T (insert your favourite here) ON THE LIST! LCBO SUX!!!! If you're happy to settle for table scraps, don't let me rain on your parade. I just find it hard to get excited about releases that a) come in such limited qu...

made it to queens quay and there is a shitload of this stuff. I gotta say I feel sorry for you non-Toronto folks getting shafted.

Picked up 4, split a can w/ my friend. A very consistent bitter hop flavour, with a pineapple nose. I'm enjoying it.

too bad about the Rhino, I was about to head out there for it.

Looks like I'll have to hit up Volo, they are serving it according to their board.

Good news, although I don't recall that space being too big. Perhaps they'll use upstairs also?

incest what....hah!

I called places, yes I'm a nerd. C'est what said their keg was bad, it froze their lines. They had to return it, but they don't know when they'll be getting it back.

Rhino didn't pick up.....

Victory doesn't have it

Volo has it......

so there you go, a mini round up.

Any sightings of 10BY on tap? I've had it at Volo so far this season, and I know as of today Volo has it again. Popped into Victory yesterday and inquired but it doesn't seem like they've carried it at all this season. Rhino mentioned earlier has had it, do they still have it now? Checked C'est What...

the kegs this year I've tasted have been great, whereas the one bottle I've tried has been far different. It was an early batch that I had in early June, not sure if the stuff sold these past few weeks were the same batch?

I didn't like the sunburst golden ale at all, one & done. The celt I've bought quite a few times, very enjoyable.

The badger I've yet to try but have one sitting in the fridge.

Bought 6 gueuze, I think that's it for me. Not exactly cheap.
