I feel like champagne is under higher pressure. Not really sure though, why not try it before your wedding?

Was this the cedar one? Because that had a WHOLE lot of cedar...
That it did. Starting the festival with that beer was probably not the greatest choice.

As a fan of the Dallas Cowboys, I am deeply offended by this party.

A year ago I would have said GLB is hands down the best brewery in Ontario. These days they have some tough competition, but I can always trust their releases to be solid. From my review on RB: Probably my favourite beer in Ontario. If Barhop didn’t have such a great list of beers on right now, I’d ...

Broue Ha Ha is your best bet
http://www.brouehaha.com/

Maybe a couple other stores in the region- Bieres du Monde or Rapido in Aylmer, maybe Trappe a Fromage or La Brulerie. Regardless, Broue Ha Ha would be my first stop

That's too bad. In that case, I'd once again recommend Depanneur Rapido for those who don't feel like make the drive out to Broue Ha Ha

we had a disagreement over the Nickelbrook Berliner Weisse being off... You realize it is supposed to be sour, right? I should hope so, however I found to taste extremely metallic which is why I assumed the beer was off. Although I suppose if it was supposed to have that flavour then my sincerest a...

Can definitely attest to Kingston's slow improvement- It's already leagues better than 4 years ago. As for bars, Red Door and Alibi are both good, Red Door has excellent food as well. I have a personal gripe with one of the bartenders though as we had a disagreement over the Nickelbrook Berliner Wei...

Popped into Marche Omni, was somewhat disappointed with their selection; maybe the holiday rush has been good to them? Regardless, popped over to Depanneur Rapido and they had a great selection- DDC Grande Noirceur, numerous christmas beers (Dunham, LTM), St Ambroise RIS (no vintage yet though) and ...

There are over 2000 packs coming into the province, Not according to Josh Rubin.....there's only 1404 packs coming in. If they sell out you can always get some from Alberta! Strange. According to an email from the agent the LC has ordered 2016. You misunderstood the email, that's the date for when ...
