Re: Esprit Agencies

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I've had it at the Ottawa Brewpub. It's good but nothing special. Definitely not work dropping 10 for it.

Re: No more Dupont

I love Dupont but it would be so much better in a smaller format. 750ml is a commitment. If it came in smaller 350 or even 500, I would bet it would turn over better.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

I need a break from new beers to get through the ones I have.

It has slowed but there are more beers being pumped in from Ontario breweries to make up for the difference.
