At my curling club, the Royals, we have the Sparkling Ale on tap, and tankhouse available in bottles. They sell quite well. Mill Street donated some prizes to one of our bonspiels too.

I actually like the Organic (reminds me a bit of Growlers Helle; must be the same hops used), but paying the same price for those little bottles is asking a bit much.

Bit of trivia: Old Credit is located in the same place as the old Conners brewery. Those 1L plastic bottles of Connors brew bring back such fond memories....

It would also be worth it to visit the Mill Street brewery in the old distillery district. (Front St & Parliament St area).
