I wasn't measuring but more or less 3 parts St Ambroise Oatmeal Stout + 1 part St Ambroise Pumpkin. This one came naturally because I had a lot of these 2 and wanted a Pumpkin Stout. Also, not only beer but I love 1.5 oz of Campari on a glass and then fill up with a West Coast IPA. Campari + IPA is ...

100ml less than one year but 4 bucks less. Works for me. It was $14 last year right?

For whatever reason I was at a The Beer Store today, and noticed singles of these: http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/hacker-pschorr-kellerbier http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/urthel-hop-it-tripel-ipa (I think LCBO had this one but when I saw it it was gone) http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/la-tabach...

Had a little American beer night with the girlfriend: Hennepin: Love this one. Light and crisp enough for the hot days but I can see myself drinking it any tome of the year. I hope to see more Ommegang in the LCBO. Goose Island's Night Stalker: Most definitely the hopiest stout I've ever had and I q...

I have this one up for trade and would trade for anything interesting not usually available around these parts. 750ml Also, the LCBO recently stopped stocking Noilly Pratt dry vermouth so I made a private order of ...

I just had a some of the Beau's Festivale. Now, I have had this one before and don't remember enjoying it as much as I did today. I basically got it because I remember really enjoying the Alt Sticke that we got at LCBO earlier today and for comparison sake. I've had this bottle for a few weeks and I...

And would you guys say the Red on Red description in the bottle sounds about right? Because then I think I might have been served the wrong glass last week. Either way I think I will find out in a couple days.

Just bought one of these at King and Spadina RED ON RED COLLABERATION ALE LCBO 360099 | 750 mL bottle Price $ 9.95 It's a Flying Monkey/Central city collab. I think I've seen it on BarHop but am not sure if it's the same. The description in the bottle seems like a different beer from what I remember.

Not a new arrival but not sure where else to put this. I saw yesterday the LCBO and King and Spadina had a bunch of He'Brew Jewbilation 16 from last year. I already had 1 in my cellar but decided to get one more for even longer aging. A friend told me there were still over 10 early this afternoon. T...

Westvleteren 8

I am making a private order of a case for this but am not interested in keeping the full case for myself. I was wondering if someone here would to split this order with me? It comes down to around 14.50 per bottle. I am in Toronto and would only be doing this person to person in the city. Edit: All ...
