Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

On another note, I was at NB last Friday and there was still what appeared to be a decent amount of Cafe Del Bastardo left, if anyone was looking to try it.

^^ thanks for the heads up on the fresh Ransack. Right now, drinking an Immodest that was canned yesterday... damn it's drinking amazingly well what city did you pick Immodest up in? The LCBO inventory isn't showing any stock. I was actually in Burlington and picked it up from the brewery on its re...

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

My only issue with Headstock is the consistency. I think part of that was the move to the new facility and another part of it is it's a general list IPA as opposed to the special releases Great Lakes do. But the fact remains that sometimes I have a headstock and it's amazing and sometimes it's not....

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

Immodest was released today at the brewery. I'm assuming we'll see it in the LCBO very shortly.

Re: Great Lakes

From GLB's twitter, it looks like Solstice and another mystery Tank Ten beer will be released alongside Thrust tomorrow... Looks like it'll be a good release day at Great Lakes!

Re: How about some respect for Bellwoods

I do prefer GLB for IPA's in terms of flavour, and especially, at (Bellwoods') price point ;). I don't disagree at all about IPAs, but to me price is hardly the main point of Bellwoods or this thread. My vote would be to primarily discuss BW's beers here, if you guys are up for that. I'm interested...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I have had two bottles of the Aug 28th batch of Aphrodite, and it is quite thin and oxidized. It is still an interesting stout, but it lacks the body and vanilla/cocoa of fresher batches. Still, it's not like there are any stouts of equal quality at the LCBO... *By the way, does anybody else notice...

Re: Left Field Brewery

Left Field has a new one in the bottle shop this weekend. It is called Sweet Jesus Mocha Marshmallow Stout. Haven't had one yet but the tasting room smelled great when I dropped by an hour or so ago. Price per bottle? And did there look like there was a lot? I might make the trek out sometime this ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

But not a regular listing? What is the most recent canning date I should be on the lookout for? Is all of the lake effect ipa at the lcbo from November? One of my local lcbos has 600 cans in stock... was there a new batch? Yes, more than one The stamps on the cans I currently have are pretty blurry...
