new core beer drops tomorrow. it's similar to IPA No. 5 recipe. https://i.imgur.com/SFBtxUT.jpg Whaaah? Can't find #7 in any eLBOw stores. This might just be a good consolation prize... Though, typically I find Columbus a bit vegetal for me, but I'll hold off on judgement until I try this.

Brick, Niagara College, etc. have crappy releases but Trafalgar is a special kind of TIRE FIRE hehe I'll give Niagara College a ton of slack, because they are, after all, an experimental facility. I don't think anybody should be misled into thinking they are a production brewery. Instead, we should...

As for those attempting (or pretending to) make beer. I think Henderson's is the biggest disappointment for me. For all the investment and community hoopla, the beer (or the one's I have had) are just meh. Was there community hoopla for Henderson other than their own promotion? I don't think I have...

Talk about opening a beer can of worms. There really is a quantity over quality thing going on in the Ontario scene, so just out of the sheer requirement to remember what we've been disappointed in I think we need all members of this forum to assist. I'll recuse myself of commenting on any brewers m...

This could almost be an April fools joke.

What were your thoughts on the LA Mikeller location as far as prices? I was blown away by how expensive the beer was at the San Francisco location a few years ago. One of their standard IPAs was almost $12 US for a 10 oz pour. Everything on tap was crazy expensive. It had to be one of the most over ...

I definitely would never have thought hops could be a fermentable. Fascinating. Sadly, the article never lives up to it's title by offering an answer to the question posed.

I've also come to appreciate the public health value of price floors (yeah, me). Having traveled in jurisdictions with absurdly low prices and seen some of the cultural problems. Europe in particular, where drinking is culturally very accepted and cheep alcohol is seeing quite a lot of abuse. For in...

I'm still waiting for some smart ass brewer to release a 150ml can for a buck each. Actually, it would be a great idea for a craft brewer. Get the premium display space and sell a sample size product that people new to your beer might say, "what they hey? I'll give it a try. It's a small enough...

I agree except for one big issue, which is the noise level. It's bad enough the tunes are often cranked, but then they have all those screens with adult age children being paid to play children's games on them and the moronic announcers blithering away, sometime two or three different games at he sa...

It still amazes/disappoints me that Amsterdam would contract a business best known for freezer to fryer 'food' and existing mostly as the cheapest place in the 'hood to drink and eat junk while staring at garage sale memorabilia. The real estate Amsterdam has invested in alone should be worth a bett...

In my experience (working at a liquor store in AB), buck-a-beer tastes so bad that even the case-a-day types would rather splurge on Busch or Boxer or whatever. Lucky Lager was the big seller and even that is barely tolerable. I suppose if he's going after the homeless person demographic then this ...

Doug Ford as Premier doesn't scare me as much as the hydro bills I've received since returning from five years out of the country. She's as dead as the raccoon I saw on the side of the road this morning. Yes, let's subsidize electricity with public money. It's worked great for Venezuela and gasolin...

I'd imagine a town so overrun by engineering students would not have too many people who had seen a beaver before, let alone known what to do with it.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering what happened. It was a great place to meet for lunch when I was in that area, but then they stopped opening during the day a few months back. Henry VIII is pretty good too. I haven't been to the Crooked Cue in a while, do they still have a GLB guest tap? It wa...
