Re: Matron
So the first two beers have been distributed. Janky IPA and Yeasayer Lager both brewed at Brunswick while they continue to get setup. Anyone have a chance yet?

Did keep6 just say they are bringing some Cantillon to the LCBO online shop?

Re: Collective Arts
Keeping up with CA can be a challenge if you live outside the Hamilton area. I've had every IPA in the series up to #8 with the exception of 1 and 2. 3, 5 and 8 are my favourites. 10 looks great judging from the link in that photo above. Regardless, I make an effort to keep up with their beer art a...

Can't say that I've ever been impressed by a Side Launch offering.

Stored at 6C in my cold room. Low temps may delay the onset if infected, but it won't stop it completely. You'd be able to taste it by now.

Re: Bellwoods Brewery
Just opened a 2018 BOYD based on other posters experiences, and I'm glad I did... it tastes great. Thanks!
Sorry about you luck. I'd suggest contacting the brewery, my guess is they bend over backwards to compensate you for a bad bottle.

Re: Stone City Ales in Kingston
Juggernaut is definitely not sour, usually it's a bourbon bomb. Either infected or possibly mislabeled.
But I have been noticing things have not been up to snuff since Justin left.
I did swing by and grabbed their IPA No. 3 they released today though.

Or shake it vigorously a day or two before drinking.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
^^ I live pretty close to the Farm Boy in Etobicoke; when I was there last week, they had Town & Country Blonde Ale and Two Flags IPA. Those are the only two I've seen there and usually it's just the blonde ale. I hope they get Sunsplit at some point. This. And I agree, they are a top notch bre...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
I don't understand how a beer can be for sale in the LCBO, but not show up in their (publicly available) inventory system. Remember I asked something similar about LCBO stocking Dominion City? This is how you responded... "Not trying to be dickish, but why don't you just go to the LCBO website...

Re: Collective Arts
Anyone else try Hydro Thunder yet? It was released at the bottle shop last Saturday; collab DIPA with Twin Sails. I was so disappointed by it (especially since they made you buy four, otherwise, I would have just grabbed a couple to try out). Completely lacking carbonation, just syrupy flat boozine...

Re: Collective Arts
Surround Sound and Hydro Thunder came as part of my CA beer club package. So far surround Sound is underwhelming. It's an OK IPA as it is, but if they're saying it's a No. 5 mass produced, they missed the mark.

Re: Winter Seasonal Craft Beer Release 2018/19
Also they came out like Nov 30th. So if you didn't see it in the first couple days you were days behind which takes some of the fun out of the advent calendar.

Re: Dominion City
Just an FYI on the Monster Mash, drink it up, it's already degraded from 4+ rating to a sub 4...
