listed as an amber on ratebeer, although when I had it on tap it was listed as an american pale ale Noticed Flying Monkey's Stereovision showing on LCBO site but no stock yet, or any description. What is it? I would check the brewery site if it wasn't such a pain to use. It's an American Wheat Ale

Last night with andrewrg, Weebay, and TheSevenDuffs: We had a five year vertical of Darkness last night – absolutely phenomenal. Thanks to TheSevenDuffs for sharing this with us. http://i.imgur.com/Zthr4.jpg The 08 was very sweet and harsh with flavours of licorice and soy sauce, while the 12 was li...

I think I just came into craft beer too late to give a shit about Westy. Pliny and Westvleteren are simply no longer the best beers out there. They aren't my favourite examples of the style and they aren't particularly technically demanding. There's nothing that makes them stand out, except their hi...

I have friends that have a cursory interest in craft beer that are really looking forward to this beer, and I can't help but get the feeling that it's severely over-hyped. People are going to be spending nearly $100 for "the best beer ever", as if such a descriptor could even exist conside...

The new concept is no table service and limited food options. So, yea. Not sure if they're hoping most people to stand or if they're adding more seating, but considering the spirit of the new concept at best you should hope for more bar seating.
