Same here, basically. It feels old-fashioned, like paying for the TTC with a "token."

I just happened upon this recently. Nice space and it offers a low-key alternative to some of the other spots nearby. I'm not too familiar with the brewery (although their beers won a lot of Ontario/Canadian Brewing Awards in the mid-late '10s), but I like that they're producing both traditional and...

The place is across the street from me, and I hope they have something cool on the ground floor. Anything but a pot shop, furniture store, or nail salon will do.

Truth is, pubs don't work well underneath condos because of the late-night noise and constant smell of deep-fried everything.

There goes the neighbourhood! Hope they at least keep the takeaway spot they've been using.

Just searched in Ontario on Untappd (only possible on mobile, and the process takes exactly 14 clicks...fix it, guys!) and found a very short list. Also, Paris doesn't even show up, probably because of the ratings threshold. So yeah, Untappd blows goats, but here's what I could find: Expedition Brew...

It's a good question and you're right, not easy to find info about it. The importing page on the LCBO website doesn't specify % splits between beer and spirits. However, on this page it still says: 4. Beer or malt liquor of alcohol strength greater than of 11.9% is excluded from the definition of b...

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but this rule doesn't apply anymore, right? You can brew beer to a higher ABV in Ontario (and sell it) as of recently, right?

Haven't found any good resources online for this.

Lots of activity in the industry recently. Here's more. Muskoka Brewery Acquires Rally Beer Company I kind of laugh at Rally Beer (which I am not sure I have ever seen or interacted with), as they are a beer with electrolytes. Years ago Sleeman made a beer with coconut water targeted at active folk...

Very nice video! Great camerawork and voiceover. I could have easily watched a longer cut. Back in 2010, when I went on a road trip with some beer-loving friends, there weren't nearly as many hip spots downtown. Church Brew Works was definitely a highlight, though. If I recall, Pennsylvania had some...

GLB has managed to annoy me. A fellow beer lover and I today decided to check this place out. We travelled a considerable distance to check it out. Before setting out, I checked the website to see if it was open. It stated it was. When we got there, it was closed for a private event. No, not an eme...

Last night I had an impy NEIPA from All My Friends, a newer brewery in Prince Edward County, and I would describe it as God-tier. Worth a shot, in my opinion.

I'll second Rouge River and also recommend checking out All My Friends. I'm also a fan of True History in Toronto, but haven't had too many of their beers (yet)!

Must have missed the Mas Agave Lime version was that this year? Don't think it's ever been at the LCBO or anything if that's what you're asking. I got it at founders in Detroit, a couple weeks before covid lockdown started. At the time it was just called 'Mas Agave', there was only the one version....

I honestly thought this was great, but it's definitely a novelty.

So who's been here? I went during the first week and had a good first impression. Nice space - not too small and not too large. Long bar and a nice mix of hightops and table seating. Unfortunately when I went the refrigerator conked out so the tap lines had to be shut down. First week hiccups so no...
