Re: Cask Days 2016

Hmm.... this fest is mildly tempting. I'm not a cask beer fan typically as I think the muting of some flavours isn't the ideal treatment of a beer.
But hey, the lineup looks very promising.
Just need to see what dates and times I might be game for checking out.

I'm surprised anyone from BT would attend this fest. Unless tickets were free.
Supporting TBS? Not me. Sorry.

Re: Mitch Leaving Stone

it's a parallel. Steele and Duggan are clearly not on the same level. but Duggan's still worshiped in Toronto by people with really deep pockets. if you want to talk about things like a big boy , then i'm game. if you can't, then feel free to gloss over my posts and not reply.

Re: Mitch Leaving Stone

here's the thing.... i understand and appreciate where Stone sits in craft beer history. their smashmouth dank IPAs changed the game. but what has Stone done in the past 5 years - other than European expansion - that's worthy of discussion? Enjoy By, i guess. otherwise, most of Stone's new beer hav...

PLEASE point out where someone was saying negative about Peter (before he responded)? A legitimate question about the Esprit experience from others was not negative. Nice justification: "Peter's Peter". Sounds more like "a-holes being a-holes". As for buying any of his list at t...

Re: Insulated stainless growlers

Thanks for the suggestions so far. Kleen Kanteen is NOT on my radar. Read about so many other good ones and KK never comes up in discussion. Innate seems ok, but not in my top 3. Looking at MiiR, DrinkTanks (Innocente sells/uses them) and EcoVessel. Stanley is a nice option, especially for price. Am...

Insulated stainless growlers

Hello BT, Looking for an insulated stainless growler. Can be brewery labeled, depending on the brewery. ;) Blank is fine as well. I've been doing some research and like the DrinkTanks growler and know Innocente has some available. I also like the MiiR, EcoVessel, HydroFlask and Innate growlers. Just...
