Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

https://i.imgur.com/gKBjBlo.jpg drops Nov 5th @ LCBO in Amsterdam Flight pack with 3 other beers. It's about time.

Re: Stone City Ales in Kingston

I did the three year juggernaut last Christmas. The 2015 was still the best vintage, the 2016 is significantly more boozy, and 2017 was good, but more bitter and less booze.

Re: Witchstock 2018

Yeah, the pre-fest was awful. Way too crowded. Other than that it was totally awesome. My non-Cantillon highlights were Postgalcial by Homes, Here's to feeling good all the time by Bissell Brothers, and Vimana and Vadar Seizeon by Forest & Main.

Great time at Session 1. 46 beers tasted including every Cantillon. The start was a gong show in the Ontario "line up" but after that it was very well managed.

Seems a new brewery is being established in Bloomfield, Prince Edward County. The brew master from Stone City Ales appears to be behind it. Not sure what this means for SCA.
