HelloLCBO told me it will be in stores mid to late November.

Re: Great Lakes

The 666 never did much for me. It reminds me of the now bygone era in Ontario craft beer where middling, not-so-hoppy pale ales were revered for the simple fact that nothing better was available locally. I'm much more excited to see Karma, Meanwhile, and Johnny Simcoe in the bottle shop . All three...

Re: Witchstock

Phenomenal event for all the reasons listed above by others. Hope it's back next year, as I still have eight tokens left haha. BOYD 2014 was just awesome... till it pretty much literally knocked me on my a$$ and made the rest of my day a blur after session one ended at 3PM (went back for that way mo...

Re: Goose Island Brewhouse - Opening July 17

I'm a bit perplexed by the roll-out of this place. No website, no Facebook page, Esplanade section of the Bier Markt site is down, no press release or media coverage on opening day. How do they expect people to know or care that they're open? What incentive do I have to go down there if I can't see...

Nor am I, really. But you're pretty fckin limited for options at the Dome. Goose IPA is my alternative to that.

Yup, that's the my choice at the Dome (the "West Coast Style" IPA).

#2 is good, but I think I'd still pick Ransack over it. #3 is the best of the bunch IMO.

Re: King Taps - First Canadian Place

I've been a couple times now (once on Saturday and again last night). Super young staff with little to no beer knowledge (they're at least friendly and the service is on point), solid tap list and pretty good food. As a sports fan, I'm a bit of a sucker for places like this and The Craft Brasserie....
