Stack brews up expansion 3 months after opening

Another great day. Things ran smoothly without the huge crowds, but the addition of the cash-only lines and the interchangeable beer/food tickets were appreciated. The pies were a great match for the venue, since they could serve quite quickly without having to prepare an order. The Canadian pie was...

Thanks for the update, Cass. I'm not sure what's feasible, but here are a few things that I would love to see. - A clearly-labelled cash-only ticket line, to speed things up. - Interchangeable beer and food tickets, if possible. I would have bailed on the food due to the long line-up, but didn't wan...

So instead of the big wall, it is replaced with a small touchscreen?

Jeebus, that is probably even worse for seeing what's available.

Regardless, it has been a while since I've purchased something from The Beer Store.

Kuhnenn, BIA IPA, Hopwired and the flying monkeys IIPA were at the shiny new LCBO near Danforth and broadview.

Isn't nearly as hop forward was I would like, but neither was the 6 of Boneshaker that I got the other day, so I'm starting to wonder if it's me!?

Might be you. My two most recent 6-packs of Boneshaker have been stellar.

when you have a rental car you can just go through the express pass lanes and they add the cost of the toll to your bill, no need to hunt for change Yes, with a healthy "admin fee" typically tacked on, no? I rented from Dollar, and unless I paid them their insane ransom for that lame tran...

To be fair, when was the last time you saw advertising for Old Milwaukee anything? I think the last time they changed their brand was when the put pinup girls on the cans. Funny you should ask. That's the one brand I do remember the advertising for recently. https://www.google.ca/search?q=will+ferr...

Was it 64oz OJ jugs, or 128oz? Florida has that wacky law that doesn't allow beer sales in 64oz sizes.

Not sure, but will try to find out. Here's info on their skating for those interested: http://ebw.evergreen.ca/whats-on/recreation/skating Please note that you will have to finish your beer before going on the rink :-) Hmmm. Can you drink coffee while skating? On a related note, the Distillery Chri...

I've had two or three breakages over the years, but it's certainly not the norm. I use a typical "soft-shell" suitcase. Lots of bubble wrap. It takes time to do it properly, so I haven't bothered in a while. One time a can exploded. Not sure what happened there, if it was punctured or some...

His business plan, an idea that has been brewing for a while, corresponds with this growing trend....
