Stone is coming. SN will likely be coming. both will demand that the LCBO treat their beer with respect (i.e. fridges, immediate shipment to stores). will the LCBO play ball? Are you kidding? Not in a million years. Any impact that Stone, SN or Founders might make in this market will be a drop in t...

Had the opportunity to try the Sazerac 18 Yr, George T. Stagg and Pappy 12 Yr last night.

Sazerac 18 Year is likely one of the finest spirits I've ever tasted.

I got a kit in 2012 as a gift and never used it, eventually tossed out the grain.... Maybe I won't toss the whole kit away! I would toss any ingredients that came with it. The hops are old now, and the yeast is probably not very viable any more. Done. I just started a batch with a fresh box of Musl...

The Schwarzbier, Kolsch, Baltic Porter, Rauchbier, Hefeweizen and Porter are all solid. Could you be more specific about what about the beers you weren't fond of?

Next year Volo should make extras and sell them as "cellared" glassware at a premium. Haha. Seriously though, if there is a market for glassware like this they could number the glasses and sell extras later at a markup like Bellwoods does with their bottle list. At least then you know whe...

If you are pissed it about the deal sounds more like jealousy (for missing out on the profits) than anything else. Thats just how it comes off. No offense meant. Not even remotely. More just annoyed with the fact that beer trading (amongst a wide variety of other (somewhat) niche hobbies) has been ...

Looks pretty, but in the end, needs to be some great beer and (considering they have a full kitchen) good to very good food to gain any of my interest. I'll wait until more reviews come out on this. You guys are harsh! I doubt you would feel this way if you lived in Waterloo. Guest taps from three ...
