When you're in Dunedin, Saint Somewhere in Tarpon Springs and Cigar City in Tampa are an absolute must. Peg's Cantina in Gulfport is about a half hour to forty minutes from Dunedin and is a worthwhile stop as well, it's a little brew pub with good food and beer. The beer there is a hobby for one of ...

This post probably belongs on the LCBO board but it falls in line with the discussion, Is there truth to the rumor that they're considering keeping the main Toronto warehouse open late some nights or even on a Saturday so those of us who can't make their absurd hours can pick up our beer and not hav...

Good time at the Judge last night, had my first pint of Smashbomb (which more than lived up to the hype btw) and good company.. Enjoy the rest of the tour guys.

Les Brasseurs du Hameau Thuya Occidental Brought a couple of bottles of this back from the Xmas week Montreal trip, drank the first right away and the second tonight, it seems to have changed quite a bit between the two bottles. This is my third cedar beer and is completely different from the other ...

Pretty solid release, Panil and Hitachino White Ale are going to get some serious fridge space here as well as the Gemini and HopHead.

So we were loading a delivery off a truck this morning at work and lo and behold I see a box labeled 'Samuel Adams Utopias'! There was six #s on the box and it was headed to the Hamilton depot so it looks like there were 6 winners in the area. I offered the driver $200 for it.. didn't work.
