Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

I've never really understood the love affair with NB, specifically NN and Headstock, but Immodest is definitely fantastic. Can't recommend enough. wut really? I've always felt the complete opposite. they seem to be one of the most overlooked and underrated breweries around here, and one of the best...

Re: worst Ontario beer of 2015?

While we're on Block 3, their 'Biyeastual' was my lowest rated for 2015, although it seems to be getting decent ratings currently

^ See, I wasn't lying! :D

JP 'Some of My Best Friends are Pinchadiscos' (collab with Stillwater) was delicious as well. Didn't see bottles anywhere but had it on tap at Slows

Re: Detroit

I was in Detroit last weekend for the auto show. Had Slows BBQ for lunch - highly recommended. Solid beer selection and amazing food. 8 degrees Plato was impressive as well. Good selection, awesome knowledgeable staff. There was even a bottle of Fou 'Foune I spotted (which was reserved for someone)...

Re: Amsterdam Brewery

Does anyone know what the deal with the regular version of Tempest is this year? I've heard numerous rumours that there won't be a regular version this year, but I haven't heard any reason why. Amsterdam dodged my question about it on Twitter. guessing the regular isn't happening... that really suc...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Be careful when buying the Stone box, at least at Dundas and Dovercourt. It scans in as 3 whole boxes, so they need to manually enter in. I was shocked at first as I wasn't paying attention and was charged $130 for the box and some tallcans. It's quite obvious something was wrong, but if you aren't...

I don't know if this has been explicitly stated, but it strikes me that the grocery store news is basically transplanting the LCBO/TBS Agency Store program into the cities and without the branding. Same product availability (or less), same prices, same hours. All you can do is buy a six pack and a ...
