So what if they don't have a vast product line, or fancy bold beers that only a limited group like us would love Horaay Mediocrity! I'm kidding, sort of. I've tried their two main brews and they are fine. I'd drink them over any macro choices for sure. And good for them for their excellent customer...

I should clarify that although I didn't think their pils had a lot of depth, it was actually very drinkable. Certainly not a bad beer. I'm just amazed that they've been around for 15 years and hardly anyone has heard of them! Those who know of it must like it a lot! :D this post is in-line with my ...

So we have established that they have been around for awhile and no one (at least who has posted so far) likes their beer. So how does a brewer like this belong in the OCB?

Things like this bug me because this brewer takes shelf space away from other OCB's that have better/more interesting products.

This is a brewer you never here anything about. The 2 brews they have in the LCBO are passable but forgetable, although they do seem to move a fair bit of product at $3.25 a bomber. So whats the story with this brewer?

The OCB website is useless for anything but general info.
