We're one of the last breweries in Ontario to make an IPA, so the name is just our tongue n' cheek way of acknowledging that. ;)

Re: Fresh Founders Centennial at the LCBO

Also would appreciate any other 'fresh stock IPA' sightings you guys, please and thank you! It isn't right to let good fresh IPA arrive without cramming a few more sixes in the fridge. On that note, I noticed last week that Boneshaker 6-packs are now dated on the box. Mine read D-1813, which I took...

I was thinking of buying a half case of the Saison but the Cervesia is just so good I think I'm gonna pick up a half case of it instead. Highly recommended!

Not sure if the Centennial that's floating around is from the first shipment, but I just finished the last of my 6 last night that was and it was already on the 'stale' side. Probably sat in the LCBO warehouse for a couple months before hitting the shelves. Finished my last one last night and thoug...

I wish i was able to try one right now, but I can't because the LCBO that has . them, hasn't put them on the shelf yet. And when I asked an employee to go into the back and find them, they didn't have any idea what I was talking about. Near as I can figure, the real problem is that the LCBO's face ...

The Hawaiian IPA. I initially avoided trying it because they were pushing the pineapple angle and I don't much like fruit in my beer. Once I was persuaded, by an employee of the brewery in fact, I found it to be a decent IPA and have enjoyed it on many occasions. I have come across lots of people w...

Local Eatery and Refuge, 4155 Fairview (word of mouth only, haven't been personally). Looks like the former Turtle Jack's/Locals is now Dymond's Social Kitchen as of April 1. Food menu looks similar not sure about the "craft beer" menu. Doesn't mean I'm not going. I know we just sent some...

Isn't there an exemption for businesses to open on holidays if they're considered tourist destinations? If so, maybe they have this special status?
