After buying a case of the Rodenbach vintage, I'm ok with missing this release. One day I'll try BCBS, but for now I'll stock up on dragon's milk :) Dragon's Milk is great and all (and I'm happy that it's hitting again since I stumbled across all the variants in Detroit a month or so ago and would ...

I think it's weird too. They're obviously variants so either a "Super User" is overstepping their role (wow, shocking! I'm having the same issue on Discogs right now) or Nickel Brook is doing it, which would be interesting to know due to it being governmental I would assume. I appreciate ...

When I left around 4ish, they had about 20 cases left at the QQ location. They're expecting to run out tomorrow. According to one of the guys in the retail store, the reason why there are literally triple the amount of bottles this year was that they felt bad that they were forced to drop the ABV f...

As the topic says. Not sure if many of you have noticed, but both Double Dry Hopped Naughty Neighbour (DDHNN) and Double Dry Hopped Headstock (DDHH) were "merged" at some point today with their base beers, on Untappd. I was curious why, so I opened a ticket: http://help.untappd.com/discuss...

Here? or in the US? It's already hit markets in MA, NY and possibly others.

What TheSevenDuffs said re: release schedule. It did drop without any pomp and circumstance in several US markets (I'd been looking for it all year and basically given up). It does seem a bit late for the LCBO to wrangle it in by Christmas, but in 2013 preorders were done in late November (and the p...

I went to one of their tasting a while back and I remember the brewer running the session mentioning that they've had to dump 2 or 3 batches of various beers that they felt just didn't work or didn't meet their standards . Perhaps this was one of them? Dumping a batch obviously represents a sizable...

And to provide some content, I'll note that they've released their new version of Omertà this week which can be found in the bottle shop. If you're going in for a pint, they have Jutsu Version 5 and Midnight Pilot on tap, both of which I highly recommend giving a try. Speaking of which, what ever h...

Hot off the press - both releases scheduled for week of Sept 8th. More details soon... HALLOWE'EN/OKTOBERFEST RELEASE: 313916 / Mill Street Harvest Sampler / $13.65 / 2,130 / 5 67710 / Great Lakes Brewery Pumpkin Ale / $4.95 / 650 / 5.5 362814 / Great Lakes Brewery Saison Dupump / $5.95 / 650 / 5.2...

I've been here twice in the past month to grab a bunch of flights and snack food.The majority of their servers don't have strong beer knowledge, and what they do pipe is generic canned lines about the style. However, the selection is pretty solid. I'm not sure how often they rotate taps (they have ...

Popped in last Friday before Refused/FNM at Ricoh. Expected a 5:30pm Friday to be crazy, so I booked a reservation earlier that day. Well, that wasn't necessary, it was fairly dead upon arrival, though by 7:10 (when we left) it was lively, still not packed. The place is huge with two very large room...

yeah, that would be VERY rad.

have you read the signage in the beer store lately? Kind of a tangent, but here's something that mildly amused me from their website . They list four 'types' of beer, the last of which is just called 'Malts'. The description they give - "Generally dark and sweeter in flavour, malts contain hin...

Has anyone drank some of their 2014 stock of motley lately? Just wondering how it is progressing in the bottle, I still have 2 downstairs in my cellar, I think. I'll be cracking my last one on Motley Day, I'm interested to see how it's changed too. I was completely meh about last year's, and only g...

I'd say of the ones mentioned already...in order of preference for satisfying the entire family of eaters and drinkers...Loose Moose, WVRST, Bar Hop, Canteen. I dont really consider the menus of Canteen or Bar Hop very kid-friendly compared to the other two. At least I know my niece and nephew woul...
