I'll likely be there. It's not far from my parents place in Harriston. By the way, if you're looking for a place to eat after, the Top End Tavern in Neustadt has some excellent wings and other pub food (plus 10W30 on tap). If you're looking a little more upscale, Noah's Inn just up the road from the...

We should all write our MPP's and ask them to pass a law forbiding all government monopolies to waste taxpayer money advertizing. Places like the LCBO and OLG should be forced to take their entire advertizing and marketing budget and dump it directily into healthcare. Or roads. Or parks. Or reduce ...

Definitely a hop-head. Pretty much all I buy now are IPAs or the hoppy pale ales like Tankhouse and GRB Ploughmans.

I also had a few samples at the KW Ribfest. I think it was my favourite out of all the beers I tried there, great job!

There's some pretty decent lagers around: Grand River Galt Knife Creemore Lager & Pilsner King Pilsner - one of my favourite summer beers when I can find it. Neustadt Lager - especially on tap (like at the Top End Tavern in Neustadt) F&M Stonehammer Pilsner Brooklyn Lager is definitely my fa...

I haven't been able to try all the OCB Brewers yet, but my top 5 would be: 1. Grand River 2. Durham 3. Neustadt 4. Mill Street 5. King Black Oak is up there as well, but I don't see it in the store too often to drink it. Same with Better Bitters. Great Lakes makes a great pale ale, but I've been und...

Cheaper than a passport if you don't plan on doing any flying.

I think it really depends on the store that you go to as I just picked up a case of the KLB Pale Ale at the Victoria Street store in Kitchener and it's fairly fresh. No dust! Must be the new case style as it's different than the last case I bought of it. I think it said something like "The beer...
