It pours clear with no haze or sediment but it's not bowling me over. I haven't had the pale ale in eons so I have no means of comparison and can't tell you if it's on or off.

Halfway down the back label it says "BEST BEFORE - SEE ABOVE / MEILLEUR AVANT - VOICI CI-DESSUS". At the top centre of the same label is stamped the 25/03/15.

Picked up a 6 of Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at the Bloor & Ossington store this morning. Staff report that it's flying off the shelves. The bad news is that the Best Before date is 25/03/15.

Blogto is reporting a May 15 opening and "120 beers on tap (75% from Ontario craft brewers)".

My one and only encounter with Longslice was with the Hopsta at the now-defunct Huntsman Tavern on College in November of last year. It was unremarkable, neither bad nor good. It came in a branded glass if I recall correctly.

I often go to Canteen on the main floor of TIFF before Jays games. Three taps (Organic, Muskoka Weiss and Honkers Ale according to the website) and Detour, Mad Tom and Augusta in bottle or can. The food's been consistently good.

midlife crisis wrote:Or maybe it was de-listed for a while? It was certainly available in six packs of bottles back in the day.

It continued to be sold in the Stratford LCBO but disappeared almost completely from Toronto. It's been lingering at the Summerhill store.

Bottle of Bellwoods Gotham. Very nice...

I have an unopened bottle of 1985 Brick Anniversary Bock with the wax seal still intact. I can't vouch for how delicious it would be after 30 years of indifferent storage.

I agree with you on the Big Rig Gold. The Big Rig Scotch was OK but I wouldn't buy it again. I quite enjoyed the Broadhead Grindstone.
