The Bar Towel

I'm still curious as to what a brewery feature entails, exactly, and now that it's nine days late if it will be given an extension. But I've given up the hopes of ever getting an answer. The dates of this "brewery feature" don't mean much. The beers will be on the shelves until they are a...

Nice haul. I am extremely jealous of you for having that propeller London porter; it’s my favorite from them. Enjoy!

The old ones are great for homebrew. PM me and I might be able to take them off your hands (depending on where you are).

The Grand River Brewing beers that are showing up at the LCBO are in different bottles from what I've seen before at the brewery. Does anybody know if this is a permanent switch? I really liked the original bottles.

Hopping Mad is only cask, so you definatley had the cask version.

If thats a 12oz glass, then those aren't 12oz bottles. Even including some space for the head, a 12oz bottle doesn't fill that glass. I'm thinking its a US pint. I'm confused. A US pint is 16 oz. The Boston Lager is 355 ml which is approx 12 oz. And this glass is the perfect size for that much beer...

Unfortunately the Barley Wine did not make an appearance and may do so at the March event.

haha really? I guess that makes sense since the beer that was being served to me as a 9% barley wine seemed kind of tame. looking forward to trying it when they do finally tap it.

Thanks for posting such detailed reviews guys. I really enjoyed the tastings last year but sadly couldn't make any of them this year. This latest one sounded great and I like the fact that it was an all ontario lineup.

Does this mean that Russian Gun is now available at the brewery?

The beer store at meadowvale town centre in Mississauga is a walk in location. 6780 TOWN CENTRE CIRCLE.

When I visited the brewery a few weeks ago, I was told that last year's John By was actually 8.5%, despite the label reading 6.7%. There was just some sort of mistake (either by the LCBO or Scotch Irish). By the time they realised this, most of it had already been sold so there wasn't much they cou...

Did they bump up the alcohol content of this one recently? I could have sworn that I saw 8.5% on the bottles at the LCBO yesterday and I thought I remember it being around 6.5%.

Another great project X. I thought that both of the beers were well made and very tasty. The brown ale was real easy drinking and would have a regular spot in my fridge if they ever bottled it. The west coast ale was nice and hoppy, closer to a west coast ale than other pretenders currently on the O...

Woot Woot!
