Just doing some quick research, your figure of 1 cfm per 100 BTU seems to apply to ranges over 60000 BTU, while under this value it's 100 cfm per square foot of stovetop.

In the LCBO vintages, it makes reference that there were only 6 trappist breweries in 1995, which one has been added since then?

Disappointing selection of stouts. People may love the Choklat but that shit is undrinkable to me. I've yet to have a maple beer I could finish so I'm not very hopeful about the Cannery offering, but I'll give it a try. If you can get to Gatineau soon, an amazing maple beer is L'Equinoxe du Printem...

Ashton Old Mill Pub to start brewing

In the paper today...

It's actually bottled by Brasseurs Illimitees (Simple Malt) I believe- it was a special occasion for the 5th anniversary of the Benelux Brewpub.

DDG just turned up in Westboro in Ottawa, I picked up 1 bottle, pretty sure they were all spoken for since they were all sitting at the customer service booth. They also had Brutal IPA and Northwestern Ale.

Wish I lived closer so that I could drop by more often, but I'll definitely be back many times this summer. One more pub to add to my current rotation of BDT, Pub Italia, and The Manx.
How's the Manx?
