The distillery District is located on Mill Street between Parliament and Cherry St. If you take a GO train to Union station you can grab a 72A Pape TTC bus to the front gates. The last eastbound 72A on Friday leaves the south east corner of Front and Bay at around 7:46 pm and runs every 15ish minute...

The beer stores really are awful for pushing something different, all the big 10 sitting in view and the rest in the back room where no one can see it. The LCBO will be a much better home for Unibroue.

I also noticed on my way out that this Firkin had KLB raspberry wheat and Blanche de Chambly in bottles. Maybe there is hope for the Firkin group after all. (Yeah I doubt it )

Firkin Pubs

Brewed by Niagara Falls brewing, it is called Butler's Pale Ale, I didn't notice until we were leaving or I may have tried it over the Guinness I settled for. BTW it is brewed exclusivel...

The Only Café on Danforth. Good take-out in the area. Good beer inside.

I wish all places were this cool.
I agree. I have to try to get to The Only more often.

Harry asked if there was anymore but they had no more in the store. They do have lots of the Sam Smiths and the O'H...

Well the 5 case min. isn't a problem as seen with the Great Divide order, so does that mean he will do a private order if we meet the minimum.

I don't understand the reference to "Dave's light", isn't that a Dave Nichols PC beer? Is she a little confused on what you were asking. I guess if she supplied Unibroue's phone number though she must have understood.
