I support this idea, however, due to my geographic bias, I would me more inclined to support a London based club. I assume you've been to: http://www.brewhaven.on.ca/new.htm It's a pretty good place.

Grolsch Swingtop - New bottle? Yes. New taste? Not sure.

So I bought some more Grolsch from the LCBO and didn't notice at the store, but when I got home and opened it, I saw they are 450mL now, and not the old 473mL bottles. I think this might work to my advantage, cuz now i can bottle my homebrew in slightly smaller bottles, and wind up with more bottles...

Ochakovo Premium (Russia's answer to the bottle opener).

4.5% alc./vol. 500mL clear bottle, LCBO purchase. All I can say is, "Wow, that tastes like Russia." But the best part is the fantastic pull tab found on the top of the bottle, how handy is that?? You all wish every beer had one, I know I do. I know that introducing new methods to opening b...

I'm afraid I drink them all to soon. I suppose I don't have a good answer to the question... The oldest beer that I myself have been aging since it was released in stores is a 2006 Fuller's Vintage, but the oldest beer I have in my possession is a 1996 Harveys Elizabethan Ale. But I suppose I don't ...
