While putting up the Xmas tree
Golden beach pale ale
Sam smiths winter welcome
Sam smiths impy stout-excellent stuff, really nice smoky undertones. It's a bit thin though, no where near the body of their oatmeal stout

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Double Trouble Fire in the Rye I've had this before, but not very much and not for a long time. If it wasn't for "so many beers and so little time", I'd be happy to have this more often. I feel the same way, although I do think for the price, there's better options available which is why ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I'm finding the Lake Effect very bitter, almost burnt rubber bitter and metallic. The tropical fruit is there, but in a sour rocket jolly rancher kind of way. Not impressed. I had a bottle of Liberty Ale dated Oct 2016 a couple hours later and found it more enjoyable. Maybe I'm crazy. I've really b...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I think at this point it's safe to say that quality varies so widely in Ontario - mainly due to how the LCBO and TBS handle and store beer - that it's difficult to make a confident recommendation nowadays. I've been buying Lake Effect directly from the GLB retail store, and grabbed the first batch ...

Anyone have an idea of the amount in of these coming in. Will it actually make it further than 7 or 8 stores in Toronto?

Re: 3RD ANNUAL GLB HOLIDAY TAP TAKEOVER - WOOLWICH ARROW

Planning to make it this year. Just have to see if I gotta get a hotel, or if I can find a DD, or maybe Greyhound. Is there a start time? Or just when the Wooly opens? I showed up last year about noon and it was packed.....standing room only(very little) at the bar. Unsure how it was later in the d...
