I visit the Leaside Longo's frequently. Usually 6 craft beers on draught, but always an IPA and a dark beer. They have a decent bottle selection, too. Service is friendly and efficient. It's in a great looking old building and has a nice environment, with enough TVs to watch the games. Can't beat Pi...

Picked up 6 yesterday, at Leaside: same BB date as in above post

- 16 oz can

Cigar City Beers, while in Sarasota: excellent stuff Jai Alai IPA Hopped on the High Seas ( dry hopped with Citra ) IPA Invasion APA Six Point Hi-Res: smoothest 11% beer ever.

It's Open :D Visited twice today. It's a good-looking place with lots of TVs. Service was great, once at a table, the other time at the bar. Food: their chicken is excellent - I had the Tennessee Chicken entree tonight and a sandwich at lunchtime. Special of the day ( Thursday ) was a 32 oz stein of...

What do we know about the freshness of Red Racer in the LCBO these days? Once upon a time, there were dates on the bottom of the can.... not any more. I bought a number of unlabelled cans in the Fall and was quite disappointed. Last week, I gave them another shot, and was pleased to taste the great ...

The bottles I have show a D.o.B. in September 2013.
They are empty.
It is in yellow, in various spots, but below the line formed by the bottom of the label

It's a good looking place - great for watching the games

Tough to find a better craft beer selection ( tap / can / bottle ) in these parts

Mississauga Rd & Erin Mills Pkwy
Another Walker's Fish Market undergoing a makeover

It will be nice for Mississauga beer drinkers to have
an alternative to West 50.
This one is very close to home.

Hope to see some of you there.

If you're staying in or near Liverpool, you don't have to go far for good beer and food. On 1st St, downtown Liverpool, there is the Limp Lizard - awesome craft beer selection and southern Barbecue menu. Across the street is The Retreat; very popular, but without the great beer selection. Behind the...
