Re: Bellwoods Brewery

Both Cherry Farmageddon and 3MTM were $12 when they were released last year. That's a $2 price increase this year. My guess is the rising cost of running a business in Ontario combined with opening a new location is responsible for the price increase. I'll buy a couple bottles of each, but buying th...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Curious about that Stone Xocoveza Stout. It's already come and gone in the US from mid-october. Is this for next year? Or is it going to be out here in the next 3 months. Hmm. We got the Stone Bastard Box two months after it hit US shelves last year. So that seems about right...? can't wait to get ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I looked into the Collective Arts Imperial IPA a little more.

It's released at the brewery this Saturday November 19 at 11am. Limit 4 cans per person.

It will be available at the Summerhill LCBO and King & Spadina LCBO on December 4 (or thereabouts). Also available via online ordering.

That's quite the price difference on IIPAs in the tall can format. Immodest was $5 and GLB's IIPAs are usually $5 at their retail store.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I wish I could order Beyond the Pale's beers on the LCBO website. Sure I can order beer from another province or country, but not from a brewery that's a few hours up the 401.

Re: Vermont

I just got back from a quick trip to Vermont. My infant daughter was along for this trip, so I only got to a couple grocery grocery stores, Hill Farmstead and the Alchemist. The new Alchemist location is beautiful. They're opening the parking lot at 10am and doors open at 11am. They're quite adamant...

I picked up the Plum Jelly King today. Regular Jelly King is in stock too. I missed out on the Apricot version a few weeks back so I'm looking forward to this plum version. Duckdown, check out Halo Brewery as well. They're a brand new craft brewery in Toronto producing a ton of fruity beers. They're...
