Re: Ontario Brewing Awards 2016

They've received awards from other outlets such as Ratebeer which placed them in the top 100 breweries in the world. That coupled with the fact that demand for their product already is greater than what they can supply and it makes little sense for them to spend a bunch of money on submissions to lo...

Re: Barncat Artisan Ales (a BT member!!) opening in Cambridge

Will you fill growlers from other companies or growlers with no branding on them? If so, any restriction on size/style of growler?

Re: The Exchange Brewery

I believe when I was there 750ml bottles of their IPA were $11.50 and a growler fill (of their porter at least) was $15.

ISO: Adventure Brew Glass & others

Looking for an Amsterdam Adventure Brew glass if anyone has a spare one. I've got some glassware I could trade or possibly some beer that people might be interested in.

Have also been looking for a Firestone Walker teku and a Bruery tulip but I figure those are less likely to find.

Re: Worst Beers!

BOYD 2014 was a huge disappointment to me as well - mostly because the 2013 is one of my favorite beers ever and the 2014 just didn't measure up. I wish they hadn't tinkered with it. In my opinion the extra time in barrels did not help this beer.

FT: Jester King Stem ISO: Prairie or Firestone Teku

Title pretty much says it all. I have a spare Jester King logo stem and was interested in a Prairie Artisan Ales teku or a Firestone Walker teku.

I'd probably be open to other trades for interesting glassware though.
