Re: Great Lakes

I've been very happy about Solstice being in stock for so long. I bought 5 when it first became available, 3 of which were allocated for friends. After trying it I've been stopping by on my way home from work whenever I can to grab another bottle. I now have 6 stashed away at home. A lot easier than...

New double IPA available today, Hop Cone Syndrome. Sounds tasty, might have to make the trip out there tonight to try it.

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

Thanks for the replies. I usually finish it up pretty quickly too. But, sometimes a little accidental aging pays off. Cheers. You are very right. I recently found a bottle of Batch 9 hiding in the back of my fridge. The extra two months made it considerably more complex and enjoyable. Now I'm convi...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

Double Jutsu sounds quite intriguing...if it's as smooth and juicy as regular Jutsu, that could be a dangerous brew! I've always enjoyed the Barn Owl releases, although they're not a favourite of mine. Hard to generalize like that I guess since they're all meant to be quite different. the second ba...

Double Jutsu and Barn Owl 3 to be released tomorrow. My wallet!

Had Barn Owl 3 at Cask Days and thought it was great. Hopefully the additional time in barrels and bottles has soured it up a bit.

Re: worst Ontario beer of 2015?

Early last year at C'est What I had Bret You Got it Going On from Church Key. I don't know what went wrong with the beer or the keg, but it tasted like long-expired Italian salad dressing. I sincerely hope that it wasn't supposed to taste like that. Dishonourable mention to Yukon Brewing Yukon Gold ...

Re: Burdock Brewing

I see that they have quite a few choices right now both on tap and in the bottle shop. Has anyone been recently? I am wondering how the Pale Ale, Farmhouse Stout and North East Brown Ale are.

Sad to hear that the Cuvee was a dud. Wish I could try it on tap.

Re: Burdock Brewing

Has anyone tried the Super Saison yet? I'm wondering if it's worth the drive there. Also would be interested to know how much they're selling it for.

Re: Great Lakes

Would this be barrel aged by chance? No it isn't. That's a shame, the bourbon barrel Hanlan's Point at Cask Days was one of the best Canadian beers I've ever had. The nitro version at Bar Hop was fantastic as well. However, I'll still be happy to buy the regular version in bottles. It perfectly sat...

Re: Great Lakes

They're tapping a keg of a ghost pepper stout called Casper's Tears today. Definitely stopping by to try that one. I've said it in this thread before, but to anyone that has trouble making it to the brewery - I live right down the road from GLB and stop there regularly on my way home from work. Woul...

Was in NYC for a trip the past few days. Torst is absolutely a must visit if you are there. Best tap list I've ever seen by far.
