Bought taps are every where, North or South of Bloor, so I don't blame that. Cost does play a role but not in the way most people think. The per-litre cost is often lower for craft beer than most domestics and especially "import" or "premium" beer. But the actual cost is much di...

Yes sir.
Hampton Inn and Suites Munster,

I've got a can left but it's a closer drive to the brewery for you lol. I was there Friday, there were a few flats still in the fridge, not sure if there's much or any left though.

I got a bottle in Michigan this past weekend. Cost me two KBS won't be trading it though I've never had it and it's been on the wish list for some time. I definitely wouldn't let it go for a single BCBS.

HA! HA! HA! Says volumes about the LCBO private ordering process when no one wants to be the primary purchaser. :lol: The biggest obstacle is having to pick up from the LCBO office at Queen's Quay during business hours. Why they let picking up privately/online ordered single bottles of wine at your...

I was at Bellwoods today about 11:15. No line up. I saw one guy carrying a case home, and another guy purchasing 6 bottles. I picked up a case to spilt with my buddy. When I spoke with one of the girls last week, she said that she'd be surprised if lambda sold out sooner than one week. That was me ...

Dark Lord is good but way overhyped (IMHO). Maybe a variant would change my mind, but I was nowhere near being blown away when I finally got to trying it. I wasn't blown away when I had it this past year either, but still a great RIS. hHving never been before I'm going for the experience. Looking f...

I had two windows going one in queue from abour 12:44 and one refreshed from 12:58 on. The 12:44 window went through. No ide...
