Cass, you should send that e-mail.

And mark it urgent for Belgian! It's not the same without him.

I was just in Detroit for an extended weekend, figured this thread could use dusting off. Breweries: Detroit have a few, but honestly they're not as saturated as most places are these days. I gather that's changing in time. Faisan was the standout place for me. They're pretty new and still finding ...

There's no actual "pine" in there, (i.e. it's not a spruce beer, etc) but I find it has the dank resiny flavour that could be described as pine. Chinook, Columbus, and Simcoe hops could be argued as the most piney hops, and all three of those (plus Summit) are in Lone Pine. I really love ...

Please share any examples of beers you've tried that were between 0.5-3% ABV that 'scratched the itch'... The Big Drop stout was somewhat convincing to me. According to Ratebeer there are low alcohol beers that are far more than just passable. For example.. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/miloslaw-bez...

I recall a BYO clone recipe for the rogue hazelnut ale....this chat inspires me to order some hazelnut flavouring and brew some up...

The Ireland brewed extra stout as well as the coffee nitro stout are in stock. Presumably some kind of St. Patrick's Day promotion.

anyone else manage to snag some of the goose bourbon county stout that seemingly randomly appeared on the lcbo website last week?

If anyone in Barrie is looking for those ugly Boston Lager glasses, the Liquidation World store on Bayfield near the Toys R Us has a whole shelf full of them for $1.50 each. Thanks for the heads up lister. My wife broke the one I got with a 6-pack of the Boston Lager a couple years ago. I was in th...

This thread inspired me to order a glass of BdC to go with my BdC onion soup at Fourquet Fourchette last week.

Excellent witbier and a great match.

Will be in beautiful Milwaukee the first weekend in February. Any recommendations?

Good stuff Mark!

I'm embarking on a Quebec junket next week that will land me in Quebec 'City' by the weekend. Lot's of good suggestions in this thread. I'm most intrigued by the Microbrasserie de l'Ile d'Orleans.
