The Barn Door is REALLY nice.

Maybe I'm misreading your suggestion, but store hours are there for me.

King Pils Crazy Canuck Denison's Weiss/Side Launch Wheat whatever German pils/pale lager is on sale Mort Subite Kriek/Framboise for the girlfriend Not much else, tbh. Have you had Side Launch in can yet? Lots of quality issues in the cans I've had so far, hope they can work it out. Hmmmm, weird, I'...

Heard this is potentially becoming at least semi-permanent...and a record store in the basement!

For camping, cans are a must for me. I usually bring along some mix of: GLB Canuck Side Launch Wheat NB Headstock King Pils Steam Whistle Muskoka Detour and whatever Tank Ten brews GLB has in the fridge on that particular day (depending on which direction I'm heading out of town). Also, looking forw...

So we're back up and running. It turns out that lcboapi.com was also affected, but Carsten is fast and got his crawler updated very quickly. drinkvine is now using lcboapi.com for some things and crawling the vintages site for others. There's bound to be some quirks as result of the changes. Please...

I'm likely in the minority here. Yep, Nickel Brook 750's are way too expensive, but I don't have a problem with the beer. The 11,05 or whatever it was, wasn't a barley wine, but who cares. It was interesting. The saison isn't really a saison, but no one in all of Ontario brews a classic Belgian sai...

I'd expect bombers, given past Tank Ten releases.

Yeah, you're likely right. Was so hoping for cans...

I don't recall seeing mention of this anywhere here or in the Coming Soon thread (or, strangely enough, on Nickel Brook's FB or Twitter...), but today I came across Nickel Brook's Le Paysan Saison, 750 ml, $8.95. Not yet listed on LCBO/drinkvine, but there were about 12 bottles at Brock St. (Parkdal...

while i'm very happy for Left Field, i can just imagine the Beer Store big-wigs sitting in their office with a smug-ass smile on their faces. Yup, good move (from their perspective), they get to avoid another controversy that would have people talking about deregulation AND they appear to be swoopi...

That is EXCELLENT news!

Any more concrete info on the NN in cans, Greg? I haven't heard anything definite. Hopefully soon, though - it's a perfect beer for the format. According to a store front employee there, the ESB is getting canned next followed by NN. Awesome, thanks! Yeah, they posted pics of the canned ESB on thei...

Man, what a great event. Both The Ship and GLB really stepped up to deliver just a fine experience. A really nice night chilling with old friends, meeting new friends and taking beer. Hopefully this is just the first craft beer "event" in Hamilton's reinvention. Thanks to Troy, GLB and, a...
