Fuller's Reserve Cognac Aged. Very nice.

Buddy was talking to LCBO employee last night and said he saw a new listing in the system for four packs of London Pride and London Porter much like Boddingtons and Guiness. That makes sense. That seems like a good move. When I see Fuller's go through a cash it's generally a bunch of them in a cart.

So I got home on Friday after a great week revisiting old favourites and discovering new ones in London. Overall impression: craft beer is really surging. There is always a focussed craft beer bar within a 10 minute walk. This is both good and bad. The English are producing some great craft beer but...

Hey guys,
Unexpected trip to Hamilton tomorrow, staying at the Homesuites at Main and Bay. Any suggestions nearby with a good tap list and some hockey on TV?
