I was at Bellwoods on my lunch break around around 2:00ish, and there were 5 people in front of me. No one behind me. The employees were said it was selling slower than SK did, but attributed it to the weather.

I think this is really unfortunate news. I understand that issues with roll out are a likely culprit, but I am concerned that this may mean we won't be getting some of those out of province/country beers anymore. Am I misunderstanding this?

Cervesia was just a one-off hit, so you're not likely to see it again. From what I hear, the next shipment of Saison Dupont is going to be arriving soon, so it's possible they're out at the moment. Do you mean Dupont only made cervesia once? Or that the LCBO only imported it once? I'm truly hoping ...

I went to the Roadhouse beer fest today. It was really impressive. A great line-up of beers, excellent food trucks, and an overall wonderful set up. I'll definitely be going back to this next year.

Hey all. I'm in Ottawa for a few days with my wife, and was hoping to find a good bar. If you had to recommend only one place, what would it be? We're pretty central to downtown, and we have a car so transportation isn't an issue.

Thanks!

I was at TFOB yesterday too. I got there around 4:30 or so, and it was quite busy. Overall, I was disappointed by the set up. It really didn't feel like it was a beer festival, but rather a mishmash bands and DJs and beer happened to be available. It was unfortunate that there was only 1 map at the ...

Thanks for all your help and suggestions. I'll be checking out those resources over the weekend. Since I'm in Toronto, it'll be easy form to check out some of those stores.
