Chimay Gold - Better than expected.
Fat Tug - July 18 bottling, drinking well. Wish I could get it under a month old.

It was a drainpour for me. Yeah I cracked one last night. Tasted almost like syrup, very sugary, flat. I got through half a glass. Flavours and nose are nice, but just way too intensely sweet for me. This is a bottle to be split 5 ways or poured on pancakes. Many reviews describe as such, but perha...

How was the LTM beer tasting?

I cracked a bottle of the Kwak and Bruton and they were both tasty, though I've never had them fresh.

Noticed a few goodies on clearance last night. Pauwel Kwak $2.85 - 330 ml, BB 20/03/2017. About 7 cases stacked on the floor. Brùton Bianca $9.15 - 750 ml, BB 10/2016 (IIRC). 12 bottles on the shelf. Les Trois Mousquetaires G.C. Weizenbock $8.75 - 750 ml, Bottled 05/09/2014. About 7 cases on the flo...

I didn't enjoy this batch nearly as much as the last time it came to the LCBO.

Yesss! Thank you Keep6!

I assume the same is true for Rogue 7 Hop. The last time it came to the LCBO is was reasonably fresh and tasty.

Collective Arts Seasonal Variety Pack is on shelves and showing inventory. 2 Gose, 2 Papaya Saison, 2 Hefe. Can't wait to get into these.

For me, Ransack has snatched the "go-to" crown from Headstock. Widely available, fresh and smoother IMO. I've had some phenomenal cans of Headstock, but not lately.

The product is still far too fresh to go to market.

Hickson Baltic Porter
Bottle 500 ml Price: $3.95

Hickson Imperiale IPA
Bottle 500 ml Price: $3.95

I'll be grabbing both of these to try. The Hickson IPA was excellent. I'm confused by how/why TBS carries beer from this tiny Quebec brewery. Maybe just a token gesture?

Side Launch Wheat. Macro lovers like wheat beer, hence the existence of Shock Top and Rickards White/Belgian Moon.

It's odd that with an impressive list like that there's no mention of the beer selection on their website.

Looks like it has a nightclubby/Moxies type feel to it from the photos.

Still with beers like that I'll gladly visit if I'm up that way.

Thanks for the info. I'd like to try some of the local stuff or anything more exciting than Presidente.
