Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
On the NOLO fest, I thought Jazz Dance was mediocre. It was tasty, but had that lemony taste that a LOT of non-alcoholic IPAs have and starts to feel generic over time. I've tried probably about 300 NA beers, and have another 50 or so here to go through in the coming months, and that is one thing I...

Re: Galapagos Islands
Galapagos update: The owner of Endemica is looking to sell their brewery, as they plan to move back to Spain, if anyone wants to live on a remote island on the Equator and live the good life.

Re: Bar Volo 2.0
Ya the Tuesday deal is pretty solid at Volo on College.
Perhaps I've just been unlucky a bit and stopped by or looked them up when there were only 3-4 non Volo brand options.

Re: Bar Volo 2.0
I'll admit I pretty much stopped going to Baro Volo (and Birreria Volo) the past year or so. Seems every time I looked them up their taps were 80% volo beers and only a few other beers. I DO enjoy their casks at Bar Volo, but I always looked forward to trying new beers form other brewers at Birreria...

Re: Henderson Brewing @ YYZ
I usually rent my cars from the airport, sounds like a perfect spot to stop after I drop my car off, and before I hop on the TTC express bus back to the city. I think they have an exclusive beer for that location too? Normally I am with others on the beers in airport thing though - enjoy one or two ...

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?
Love Boneshaker.
Had been drinking a lot of Mad Tom the past year or two, but found it to be too sticky sweet last couple of times I tried it.

Re: What're you drinking right now?
I'm only drinking NA beers for 100 days, lol.
Had Chester from Bazaar recently, an NA Berliner weisse with black currants. It was quite good!
Grabbed the new Swoon stout from Burdock, and picked up Nickel Brooks NA beer to try soon.

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
It was a weak attempt at deadpan humour on my part. All good brother. In the article about The Only NOLO event St. John also had positive feedback on Jazz Hands. I’ll have to get my jazz hands on some. Recently tried the Sierra Nevada Trail Pass IPA. I was looking forward to this one based on initi...

Re: The Granite
Nice.
Thanks to their casks in a box, I've ordered home delivery from Granite more than any other brewery in Ontario.
Can't resist those in summer!

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
dealing with this market is a nightmare, thats why you dont see many widely distributed brands here In addition to missing Rouge, I miss Southern Tier too. That was a fun time. I miss doing the private orders. My favourite was ordering cases of Great Divide Titan and Hercules. Those beers blew me a...

Re: Gout, filtered vs unfiltered beer, and the guy trying to cheat the system
Had gout once a handful of years ago. No fun!
I had pretty much been living off of chicken wings, beer and burgers at the time.
No problems since...don't eat much steak or burgers any more.
