3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze is now listed. I've never bought it before...is $22.80 a reasonable price? http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/searchResults.do?ITEM_NAME=3+FONTEINEN+OUDE+GEUZE&ITEM_NUMBER=&language=EN And more importantly, is this the standard Oude Geuze or the Armand & To...

Starting off on a one-hop series this Friday. Leading off with Galaxy, Nelson is next.

Then a 1983 Thomas Hardy's at home. Whoo boy, that's a hell of a brew 30 years later... :o Details, please... It was interesting to taste history. Lots of soy, sherry, a slightly tart character alongside molasses, toffee, fruits, etc... Bottle had heavy sediment stuck to the bottle but beer poured ...

A couple of pints of Bellwoods Roman Candle at The Only, gosh this beer is good.

And now a home-brewed Chai milk stout that is so spot on I'm pretty sure I won't be able to do it again...

A couple at The Only - Double Trouble Prison Break Pilsner (kinda meh, too sweet with not enough hop backbone), and Bellwoods Farmhouse Classic (nice brett character, easy drinking but I could do with a little more brett and a little dryer, nice though...)

Rats, been trying to get on there for a while. Thanks for the help though!

I've heard about the bulk grain orders SOB does and have tried to become a member on their site but they don't seem to ever respond or validate requests. Is there a way to find out when these orders are and/or get in on the bulk buys? Thanks for the help!

Hmmm...there's a rumour/news that Ontario got 1/2 of the 210 cases (6 x 750ml) of 3 Fonteinen Oude Gueze Armand & Tommy. Just waiting for the labeling to be sorted. Or has this already been discussed somewhere? This would be truly amazing. Anything 3 Fonteinen would be amazing actually. Fingers...

Brewed today with my four year old daughter (she'll tell you a whole lot about how to brew beer...), a Founder's Red's Rye type of ale, with a Toronto-centric label... http://i49.tinypic.com/358ayhy.jpg cool label. What program did you use? 10 day fermentation? Are you going to transfer to secondar...

I'd personally include Cameron's RPA in their somewhere, definitely over Smashbomb and Hellwoods over the Flying Monkeys BNL collaboration.

...but I have been known to drink maple syrup. You have to try this if you haven't already: http://mikuni.myshopify.com/products/tonic-01-tuthilltown-bourbon-barrel-matured-maple-syrup It's insanely good. I buy the Bliss one ... that's the one that Founders uses for the CBS and Backwoods barrels. I...

Had this at The Only - have to say it is kinda 'meh'. There's some Belgian yeast characteristics in the nose (along with a touch of solvent), a bit of orange in the flavour (particularly in the finish), and a gentle roastiness. My biggest complaints are the lack of depth in flavour (it comes across ...

Awesome branding, and I hope the product lives up to the promise. If so, a welcome addition to Toronto's scene. Love the booming craft beer options!
