Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

^^^^^^^^ I feel almost the same way. I used to think FM stuff was really solid for the most part. The first one I had(regular lineup) that let me down was stereovision which I found tasted like soap and was awful. That's when I found their quality was really starting to slip. I hate their whole appr...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Over the past few days: London Pride-my go-to session beer Great Lakes sunnyside-not a fan of this,so thin and the flavours don't do it for me. I preferred limp puppet Muskoka oddity-yep,I still hate it....but at least now it only cost a tall boy to re-confirm my thoughts. Cuvée jacobins-excellent, ...

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

Stopped in at Barncat today for the first time. Had a couple samples and bought a couple of beers. I got there just before a bus load of people....so timing couldn't have been better. They also had folks giving out samples of the coffee thats used in the coffee milk stout...nice touch. I left with &...

Re: Oak Aged Cream Ale

It wouldn't age long, but they don't say how long the brewery aged it or how. ALL beer is matured. Wondering if they threw some chunks or chips of oak wood in the aging tanks, and laughed themselves silly how much more they could charge for a 5% cream ale. Mind you the Lager, Dark and Cream were to...

Re: Beer for non-craft drinker guests?

Maybe some German or Czech lagers, mill st organic or 100 meridian, Amsterdam blonde,prison break Pilsner,or maybe some of the "craft" offerings from the bigger boys,barking squirrel,shock top etc. Personally I'd probably go with German wheat beers as, like someone said, Macro drinkers see...

I believe there will be another shipment. The beer person at the lcbo I usually go to says she has ordered it for me but they are waiting for the next shipment.

Cool, thx

Re: What're you drinking right now?

St. Ambroise 2009, hell of a nice Vintage Ale! '09 was also a good year for my making some life choices in how I was not going to let certain people treat me, etc. This year ages sweetly.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

A couple first time drinks: Publican Square nail pale ale- this one starts out with a nice malty flavour but then quickly goes downhill for me. There was a strange flavour I can't put my finger on, and the hops were very subdued. I'd rather drink tankhpuse or pompous ass if I'm drinking something al...

Re: Which LCBO Beers Do You Miss The Most?

^^*it'd be nice to try some Eastern European beers that aren't crappy lagers. My local lcbo is especially bad for their extremely large suggestion of(I'm assuming) the same generic tasting euro lagers
