Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
Sorry for the multiple messages...forget how these message boards work, lol. On the NOLO fest, I thought Jazz Dance was mediocre. It was tasty, but had that lemony taste that a LOT of non-alcoholic IPAs have and starts to feel generic over time. I've tried probably about 300 NA beers, and have anot...

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
Cheers thanks. I was wondering if maybe US companies were shipping to Canada since technically it's not real alcohol, although package forwarding does sound useful in general.

@dale cannon Curious, where did you order all those from?

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Thanks for the info everyone, think I've got it now. Not confusing at all haha. Just happy to know the Smoked Porter should stick around seeing as it's brewed at New Ontario.

Re: Blood Brothers’ Over The Tap - $7 to $12 for 4 oz pours
Between insane pricing and overcrowding, I'm generally put off of most festivals and special events these days. I'm much happier having a beer or two in a taproom, grabbing some cans to-go and drinking at home or a friend's place lol. I know there are still good ones out there, but this just sounds ...

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
When did they rebrand? I swear I just bought some of that Highlander Smoked Porter the other day. Indeed it's currently listed in the LCBO right now.

Re: Muddy York Brewing
Unfortunate indeed especially since that old post office building has been vacant for years. It would've been fantastic to have the brewery on Main Street, for reasons already mentioned. A lot of my favourite breweries are in industrial spaces, but they are kinda bleak and not particularly accessibl...

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
A lot suck, to be fair. I'd say there's a bit of an adjustment of expectation that's required as well. I've found styles that have been less convincing are those that don't have things like dark malts or hops to "hide" behind, so if his baseline is macro lagers I can see it being tougher t...

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
Probably has a lot to do with perception. I'm really enjoying NA beers right now, I've probably cut my regular beer intake down by about half going into this year, but I still don't find myself wanting one in a situation where I normally wouldn't have a beer. For instance I could technically sit at ...

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
This might warrant its own post in the events section, but the Only Cafe is hosting a no/low alcohol beer fest this month. Very cool idea, I'm hoping I'll be able to make it.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Good news for Orval fans, there's a fresh batch (for LCBO standards) of Orval on shelves. Bottling date 07/08/23. They've now brought in a new batch every year since it returned a few years ago (2020 through 2023 bottlings thus far). I'll be very happy if the intent is to keep this listed indefinite...

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Definitely great to hear, Little Beasts was one of my regular spots. Positive brewery news is always nice to hear these days.

Re: Winter Release ???
I'd agree that this most recent batch felt a little more well-rounded and smoother on the finish than what we received earlier this year. If anything it was a bit fuller bodied too, the main thing I had noticed was it seemed thinner than I remembered. However I'm also going back a good half decade o...

Re: Non-Alcoholic Beer
Rouge River has another NA IPA out and it's fantastic. First one (Free Beer) might have been slightly better, but that's probably just personal hop preference. https://rougeriverbrewingcompany.com/store/jazz-dance-non-alc-ipa-473ml Happily it was still there this weekend. You're right, it's excelle...
