Happy St. Patrick's Day to everyone!

Thought a beer forum like the BT ought to have a 'Happy St. Patrick's Day' thread!

May the glasses of your preferred stout runneth over, and the sea of green knick-knacks make your head spin, and the joy of the day fill you up until you've reached the pint of no return! Cheers!

Truth be told, I do use London Porter for the driveway. Guess I should adjust that to anything greater than 5%. haha.

Driveway shovelin' beer.

Do you have types of beer that you choose to drink, in order to accomplish different tasks? Maybe it's just me, but not just any tasty craft beer will help me shovel that drive way. I like to choose one that is perfect for shoveling. I don't like to choose bombers(650mL or more) because i can't fit ...

Couldn't you just pour all those beers together into a bowl, and then write a review of that? That way you can evaluate them all in one post!

More of a post that should be titled, "What was you were drinking?". Went to a nice NYE house party, and a group of us cracked open a vertical of Fuller's Vintages. We usually try to get a run lined-up, of a 3 year span, but our respective cellars have some vintages missing, so we just wen...

How come no one told me they have Rogue Dead Guy Ale in Bombers ?!?! WITH GLOW IN THE DARK LABELS?? Well they do! And I bought one! Also, I saw they have Railway City Brewing's "Honey Bee'lixir" in swing-top bottles, 650mL i think. I tried one of their 500mL bottles straight from the brewe...

Ya, well I'm on drinkvine, and they didn't tell me about some of those beers, because they are on The Beer Store's website and not offered through the LCBO! Bet you didn't think about that!?

New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I walked into The Beer Store, (you guys remember going there back in the day, right? Not that we go there anymore...) and saw a 6-pack of Granville Island's "Lions Winter Ale" . I hadn't heard anyone on here talk about it, so I thought I'd let you all know it's here. Also TBS's website ind...

...I found that after finishing the St Ambroise 4 pack I'd pretty much had enough of pumpkin ale. It's one of those beer styles that's nice in small doses. Yeah. The St. Amby is a strange one, but good - it has absolutely no pumpkin in it. Grand River is just so darn drinkable. So by, "absolut...

Gary, So you blended 20% Innis & Gunn, with 80% Russian Gun? That's a Gunn & Gun. You've invented a "Double Gun(n)"! And, to take it one step further.... Grand River should age their Russian Gun in one type of wooden-barrel, and blend it with Innis & Gunn beer, which is aged in...

I remember now what the thing was before 'low calorie' beers. It was "Honey Beer"! Remember "Honey Beer"? Labatt Genuine Honey, Lakeport Honey, Algonquin Honey, even Wellington Beehive Honey.... oh man... those were the days....

What's going to be the new 'gimmicky beer' this summer?

Just wondering what your thoughts are on "what's next?". For example 5 years ago, or so, it was low-calorie beers; Molson Ultra, Sleeman Clear, etc. Then it seemed White/Wheat beers took over for couple of years; Rickard's White, Keith's White, etc. Then for the last 2 years it seems the L...
