I'll look forward to trying this at some point.

On a related note: HOLY! ANOTHER brewery opening up. It's great news but it's so hard to keep up. LOL

Plus, it's called Abbey Normal.

Sadly, I cannot make my eyes point in opposite directions.

I go to Air Liquide on Manitou at the south of Kitchener. They're totally fine.

Yeah, stay at home dad here, too.

What Jason said. LOL

Emphasis on point #2.

To ALL the dads out there whether they are stay at home or go to work... Your wife/partner/significant other just pushed out a watermelon-sized human through the equivalent of a straw.

Think about it.

Man up.

Do you know what it is currently? I wouldn't mind just doing a drive by to see location.

Sounds great, though. Any talk of cask?

I did one last year and will likely do one again this year. Last year I was a bit late off the blocks and ended up with a Christmas pumpkin spiced beer. Mine was basically a strong pale ale with the can of pumpkin added in the mash and pumpkin pie spice and fresh ginger added to the last 10 minutes ...

Seems this one is the exact opposite. From the website:

I remember reading All About Beer magazine 15 years ago and seeing the ads for the various "BoM" clubs there. Going online and seeing that you weren't allowed to subscribe in Canada. This is HUGE for me in concept! That said, I am with the others who would like to see a list of past delive...

Re: A rumour I head...about Tempest...

They can only gouge us if we let ourselves be gouged. Don't like the price, don't buy it (I wouldn't at that price.) If you do buy it then you've just become part of the problem. Frankly, if people are willing to pay that then from a business perspective Amsterdam would be stupid to charge any less...

I'm also a bit curious about this from a homebrewer's standpoint. There seems to be very few details as it pertains to homebrewers being involved in this project. I can understand how a commercial brewer would participate wrt bottles and casks but what exactly are you looking for from a homebrewer? ...
