I like the lounge, but it's annoying to try to figure out when it's ok to come in for a beer. It is open tonight? Is there a band playing tonight? Is there a cover charge tonight? Forget it, lets go somewhere else. You should have a dedicated website or something that spells it out clearly. Or twee...

I recently returned from a trip to Florida, and we made a few stops which may or may not have involved beer. I had to make excellent use of my time, so I needed to go to places fairly close to where we were staying, as the itinerary was pretty hectic. Orlando World of Beer- Dr. Phillips- Certainly a...

Man, I have to get caught up on some of this stuff. Haven`t been to an LCBO other than my own in some time, and we have about 4 craft beers......guess that is a combination of lazy and the fact that I literally live a block from the judge and the ship!

I was there last night and it was a full house. I tried both Ships Rations, 1 and 2. 2 Was the best by far. I hope to see more from this nano in the near future, and am pleased that such a thing is happening literally a block from where I now live. It is especially pleasing, given that, as of late, ...

This has been a sketchy brewery since day one. They have never had a physical face or presence even in their home town.

You guys do a good job with the one offs and rare Beau's stuff. Service is always good and I enjoy chatting to the barkeep about beer on the off chance I can.

Westys are great beers, but no beer is worth getting this worked up over. I'll take a Rochefort 10 and not the wait anyday or a Westy! Even the hard to get Westy 9.

Oops. I forgot I was not allowed to speak ill of the almighty Volo. They weren't perfect guys - deal with it. The attitude that I should pay for both "atmosphere" (believe it or not most bars have tables you can sit at with friends) and the renovations is just ridiculous. What I found rid...
