Re: Henderson Brewing @ YYZ

I'm with Portwood on that, but to each their own. When I get off the plane the only thing I want to do is get somewhere I can drop off my luggage as quickly as possible.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

The Sazerac Whiskey release was this morning at 8:30. They changed it from being an auction to first come first served this time for some reason.

Re: Collective Arts hit with $500K tax bill!

Maybe it's to prevent contract brewers from being able to make beer more cheaply than micro brewers?

Re: Kingston Brewing Company

Do they still have the high roller special?

Re: 2023 Fall Import LCBO Release (September 10 - October 7)

I don't remember ever seeing that many Euro Oktoberfest beers coming in. I hope they all arrive at once so I can compare them all. How the heck are we getting Grandauer?

Fun to have Obscura in too.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Einbecker Ainpockisch 1378 I've only even had the Ur-bock Hell from this brewery before, but noticed this on shelves the other day. It's great, and so different from what local breweries are making. I wish instead of bringing in imports like Brewdog and Omnipollo (okay fine, they kinda brew locally ...
