Anker Boscoulis, not too shabby, quite the punch of berry fruit. Earlier today I had one of Matt7215's Sour Brown Saisons on the back deck at sunset. Another delicious brew Matt! Yeah, that Mo fo needs a brewery! As does Derek, but he's leaving us for a lesser province, so fuck them overall!!!! My ...

why would they not vent the tank? or have a pressure relief valve on it? how is this even possibly?
Is there some kind of quickening on the process that would happen if you didn't vent or use the valve? Is it a cost cut?

Is the wedding in kitchener? call Grand River, or Wellington, or F&M, they'd also probably have a line (with enough notice) on supplying a tap for it to p...

nope but I am gonna try and get out to the Black Tomato some night this week, 5 different beaus on tap apparently.

thanks for the response Paul, hope you get something set up in the city!

I was talking to the Beau guys today. The reason they're listing that 12 pack at the beer store is so that they can get their empties back; currently the Beer Store is just smashing them. The fancy 12 pack will only be available at one Ottawa beer store and the brewery. I thought that was a pretty ...
