How thirsty are you? There appear to be two kegs in TBS system.

Schooner Street Brewery
According to these stories in Canadian Beer News, these guys had beer available in licensed establishments over a year ago, had beer available in cans last summer, and have now opened their own location in Waterloo. https://www.canadianbeernews.com/2022/07/18/schooner-street-brewery-releases-first-c...

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Good Prospects Brewing Closes Down in Ottawa
They are sort of closing; the announcement says "The doors are going to close for a little while, but something new and exciting will take our place."
I found this notice interesting because I can't recall ever hearing about this brewery.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Tough times for craft brewers. This story focusses on BC, but I think is relevant everywhere.

Re: Anyone get a beer advent calendar?
Stumbled across this thread by chance from a couple of years ago.
Every year I am tempted to buy a beer advent calendar.....but I've never pulled the trigger. Has anyone else purchased one in 2021 or last year and can offer comments on fun and value?

Re: Winter Release ???
Also I got two of the St. Ambroise imperial barrel aged porter, opened the first one a couple weeks ago. It had a super high carbonation, to the point that it was quite unpleasant to drink. Hopefully it was just off bottle and the second one will be better. Oh, that's not good to hear. It is on my ...

Re: Henderson Brewing @ YYZ
I don't travel by plane very often, but nonetheless have had the same thoughts as many of you; when I land, I just want to get on my way home. I have been to the airport a couple of times this year to pick people up; it would be nice to go there a little early and have a beer while I wait, but then ...

Re: Goldenfield Brewery
Looks like it is located quite close to the soon to be closed Muddy York location. Good for local beer enthusiasts.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
This is another one where it surprises me a bit to see which brewery is doing the purchasing vs being purchased - I would have thought Spearhead was the bigger player. Will be interesting to see how this all works out. Ha! The exact same thought came to my mind. Yup, thought the same thing. Spearhe...
