Maybe it's in a 10 pound ceramic bottle.

Bellwoods did not enter. I don't think they ever have.

I had a growler of their DIPA, Eminence this week. It was INCREDIBLE. The yeast profile reminded me a lot of Trillium and the overall flavour profile wasn't far off either. I am really looking forward to trying more from these guys as this was a better first impression that I have had from any Ontar...

For anyone in the Mississauga area, Stir Kitchen and Beverage Co is a new restaurant that is worth checking out. It is located on Hurontario St, a block south of Eglinton Ave. They have about 20 taps, which includes a rotating Great Lakes tap (currently Octopus) a rotating craft tap (currently an Am...

Weendigo is coming back. Retail store now, 'select' LCBOs shortly. I quite liked this last year. I tossed a couple in the cellar and popped one a week or so ago. It was still good. I had very mixed feelings on last year's version. The base state tasted great but there was next to no barrel characte...

is anyone else shocked that BA solstice is still in stock? i remember thinking when that was getting released that I was going to miss it and being pleasantly surprised when i grabbed it a week later. but still there almost two months later! shocking for such a delicious beer. i guess since it does...

I've never really understood the love affair with NB, specifically NN and Headstock, but Immodest is definitely fantastic. Can't recommend enough. wut really? I've always felt the complete opposite. they seem to be one of the most overlooked and underrated breweries around here, and one of the best...

This really is too bad. But at least Mike is about to open up two new beer spots to help fill the void.

really enjoyed the peach variant. it was very subtle, but worked.

It's funny how different palates can be. It was easily my least favourite of the bunch.

Thought this went really well. The folks at Volo are the best at running these kinds of events. Really loved all the variants, tho i didn't try the dry one. Not a big dry stout fan. I also thought the event was well run, especially considering the space constraints that volo has. The above seasonal...

I'm just curious, where do you get the heads up on these releases? I don't see any mention of them on either the new or "old" lcbo websites.

I am pretty sure that he is an LCBO employee.

Spin doesn't work for the LCBO. He's just all up in their shit.

That's a lot of effort.

Blood Brothers' Inner IPA (? -- was brought to a party we held, I didn't see the tag but was told it was their IPA) -- tasted young, infected, or both. No one defended it, and at least two people dumped their fifths. I would second this. I read that it was a brett IPA, which might explain why you g...

Drinking both versions of Thrust side-by-side tonight (can vs. growler). First thing to note is that for me the flavour this version seems muted overall. Less juicy/fruity than usual. In terms of the comparison, the difference is HUGE. Regular Thrust has a sharper bitterness and less citrus/tropical...

I recently had a bottle of the brett peach and apricot Monogamy that I've been sitting on for about 6 or 7 months I think. I really liked the way it developed. While the hops have faded, the beer has developed some great earthy flavours and the fruit has held up. I wish I had held on to a few more,...
