Amsterdam to move in the fall

I just read this article that says Amsterdam will be moving to a larger location in the fall. Hopefully the bigger facility will give them opportunities to create more one offs.

Ok I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I much more preferred the Garrison Black IPA from earlier this year.

Bier Markt - new Etobicoke location

I was at the Home Depot across from Sherway Gardens yesterday and I saw that the East Side Mario's has closed down and signs were up saying that a Bier Markt will be taking over the location.

I haven't been to any of the other Bier Markt locations, how are they?

The article mentions that Cameron RPA is available at LCBO and TBS, not the Ultimate Two-Four

The Grid's Ultimate Two-Four article mentions (incorrectly) that it's available at the LCBO and The Beer Store, but it does looks like it could be in the works.

Pennsylvania

I'm going to Pennsylvania, more specifically Grove City, over the Easter weekend and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place for craft beer.

My only experience with buying beer in the US is in Buffalo (Consumers & Premier Gourmet), so is there anything similar to these places?

Not sure if you know, but Rate Beer has an app as well called Beer Buddy. I use both it and Untappd, but Untappd is more of a social thing.

My top 5:
1. Mad Tom
2. Red Racer
3. Smashbomb
4. Hop Head
5. Southern Tier IPA

I think I'll have to re-visit Boneshaker though. I thought it was an ok IPA when I had it last.
