Think you'll ever make another imperial black IPA like Apocalypse Later or your 25th-anniversary brew?
For those of us who like that style, they're pretty legendary!

Re: All My Friends - Bloomfield
Glad to see someone posting about All My Friends! I have yet to visit, but did an order a little while ago and everything was great. I'll go on record to say Boujee Juice is one of the best NEIPAs I've ever had.

Re: Badlands Brewing Caledon
I'd consider it to be the best brewery in Ontario, though. In other words, not hype.MatttthewGeorge wrote: ↑Fri Mar 24, 2023 12:31 pmHahahaha, exactly why this "hype" brewery isn't on my radar.

Re: beer (alcohol) and health
Please share any examples of beers you've tried that were between 0.5-3% ABV that 'scratched the itch'... The Big Drop stout was somewhat convincing to me. According to Ratebeer there are low alcohol beers that are far more than just passable. For example.. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/miloslaw-be...

Re: beer (alcohol) and health
I don't really consider nonalcoholic beer much of an indulgence, but sometimes you want something fizzy and dry that goes well with food, but sans alcohol. The choices have gotten a lot better over the years (for instance, I recommend Bellwoods' dry-hopped nonalc fruit sours), and I expect that tren...

Re: Hazelnut beers
So...Mill Street Brewery has come out with a hazelnut brown ale. Would I recommend it? No, not really. But it might scratch a certain itch!

Re: Top 5 B.S.
In terms of Ontario-made brews, Godspeed makes excellent traditional Czech lagers, both light and dark, that could certainly pass as lawnmower/dad beers. They just happen to be very sophisticated and well-made, with authentically difficult-to-pronounce names. Third Moon makes a great Czech lager (ca...

Re: France 2023 Beer Notes
I was in Dublin in May last year, and got to try all the export beers at the brewery. Really good stuff, and I did everything I could to advertise their availability. Alas, most people didn't get past the basic version of Guinness, no doubt entranced by the opportunity to pull your own draught.
