Re: Collingwood Fireside ESB

This product has been listed on the LCBO for awhile with no stock (nearly 2 months). Is that normal? Might be no stock near where you are, but if you're doing a wider search, then probably wrong. Definitely available in cans at LCBO's around the Collingwood area. The website does not show any stock...

Unless, of course, if it still works. Sounds like Yogi Berra's "nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded"

Sawdust City

Regarding Sawdust, I think they doing great things. On October long weekend they had 11 different beers in cans, 10 of which were all about $3-4 per can. Delicious too. The only Sawdust I can ever find in the LCBO is Lone Pine and Golden Beach. Where are you finding 11 different cans? Downtown? It ...

Peensteen reported this in the Coming Soon thread early this year, but I don't recall ever seeing announcement of its arrival; not sure how long it has actually been available.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

A couple of Collingwood Downhill Pale Ale after my hockey game tonight - thank you teammate Rob.

At home, had a Double Trouble Revenge of the Ginger Red IPA, and now a KLB Raspberry Wheat Ale. Really like both of these.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

When the LCBO switches from singles to four-packs, I tend to buy the product in question a lot less frequently (see: Duvel and Fuller's products over the last year or two). Just my two cents. It's not just you. I can tell you for sure that format switch has completely decimated those two brands. Bo...
