We'll be getting Stone in at the Brux House in the near future. All I know is that an order's been placed.

Could you break down the math on how you arrived at it being a 35-38% tip on the net? From what I could figure if he was tipping 15-20% on the gross it would be like he was tipping 16.95-22.6% on the net. There's a difference if you tip on the tax but it's not gigantic.

We just added Bellwoods Boogie Monster to the tap list and we also have bottles of barrel aged Grandma's Boy available if anyone wasn't able to make it in to the release in Toronto.

Some of the new beers hitting the tap list in the next couple of days:
- Brewdog Punk IPA
- Sawdust City Winding Road (rye saison)
- Dieu du Ciel Aphrodisiaque (really pumped for this one)

I'm going to try to encourage them to start posting the tap list on their twitter page every couple of days too.

We tapped a keg of the new Citraddiction XPA from Great Lakes right as I was leaving last night. Rodenbach Grand Cru should be on in the next few days as well.

I'm actually serving here part time. I figured I'd be there all the time anyway so why not right? Cale gave a pretty acurate description of the current tap list - and it's only going to grow from here. Tomorrow we should have our Brux House/Sawdust City brett IPA on tap and there should be a few mor...

You mentioned that you're pro-government. You also mentioned that you don't condone the use of force. What happens if the candidate that you vote for in an election doesn't win? Wouldn't you technically be forced to accept the candidate against your will because the majority decided on it? Wouldn't ...

I didn't get a lot of sourness out of the Mousquetaires gose. I found it to be disappointing really - especially after sampling Westbrook's gose.

Just back from Ann Arbor. Had a fun time at Ashley's and really enjoyed Jolly Pumpkin. Merchant's in Dearborn ended up being my preferred bottle shop. They had a good selection and way more choice for singles.

That's strange. It's the same number I used but it won't locate it when I search.

Thanks!

I'm not having any luck, even with the number. Provided I'm using the right one. What are the other stores with stock?
