Re: Growwwll...
As long as Ayinger's Celebrator and Marzen are still coming, the rest of the release can go bathe in growler liquid. You're saying the Ayinger beers are comparatively solid. I don't know, but I would be surprised if they are also cancelled, since we just had two Ayinger beers this year, and Celebra...

Re: LCBO Autumn & Halloween/Oktoberfest Beer Releases 2015
This Day of The Dead beer seems a interesting choice on the part of the LCBO. Not a lot of RB or BA reviews but most not thinking it was too bad. Probably buy a six just for the novelty of the artwork. Not going to be available......first casualty! As long as Ayinger's Celebrator and Marzen are sti...

Cask Days Session 2 Early Admission Tickets for Trade (7pm-12am)
Hello everybody,
I just got scheduled to work Friday October 23, and I have two early admission tickets that I can't use.
If anybody has 2 Saturday evening (session 4) tickets I will trade you (preferably early admission, but not necessary).
Please PM me.

Re: Random Reviews
Side Launch Mountain Lager: I'm telling you guys this is one amazing lager. I only seem to find it at Pilot in cans. When it warms a bit, it has a complex sweetness that reminds me of Urquell but the hop side is more typically German (with no sulfury lager yeast taste as many of these have). Gary y...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Good news is the Rochefort 10 is here to stay. Bad news is no gift packs this year. Rochefort beers use the same grain bill to brew all their beers with only the proportion of water adjusted. Can you blend your own 6? 8) Use Apolonaris spring water! Don't lower the carbonation. And stick a piece of...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO
LCBO's response in a nasally irritating voice "We feel that we already have too many sku's dedicated to the IPA style. It is our belief that the margin would be better attained through golden ales or english ales because that is what we feel the consumer wants. No we do not look at trends or e...

Toronto Visitors - Cocktail Recommendations
I am taking some family out, and I am looking for places in Toronto that take cocktails seriously. Any recommendations would be helpful.
Bonus points for finding a place with a great whisky and/or beer list for me (I don't drink cocktails).

Re: Summerhill Growler/Craft Beer Destination Store
Which seems odd. I mean simple math would tell me that with more beer buying options Coors Light is going to move off of LCBO store shelves at a slower rate. But to counteract that they are going to start carrying more Coors light? I don't have a source to cite, but I've read that most craft beer i...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
(Disclosure: I work for LB, in case anyone didn't know) It's not a flip top. I'm not too sure about the gimmick thing. Lake of the Woods only had growlers (not cans/bottles) and submitted to the LCBO. After their trial run they (LC) were looking for someone to do it province wide. We did it last ye...

Re: No more Dupont
I was wondering why there is so much DuPont on shelves at Summerhill...
They discontinued Duvel only to bring it in another format. Same with the Fullers cans. Maybe we are getting brown bottled Dupont in 4 packs or something.

Re: The Bellwoods Brewery Release Thread
That's what the "New non-LCBO/TBS beer releases" thread is for....no? Since Bellwoods takes up such a huge proportion of posts on that thread, why not give Bellwoods its own thread, and leave that one your mentioned for everything else? Using this logic, I think we should create a "B...
