The LCBO does weird things when you try to search by a SKU that doesn't exist. It somehow tries to guess the right search for you, showing you an essentially random result. Like searching for 23743, it says on the one side "no results" then shows me results for 234369 instead.

I found myself in Petrolia Ontario last weekend, so I stopped in here for lunch. Pretty big space, not very crowded. Had a somewhat limited food menu that generally had pub staples on it. I got the charcuterie board which was fine. Beer was decent! I got their "pseudo lager" whatever that ...

Take me with you?

Same place it always was, I guess.

I posted this elsewhere too, but in a recent trip to Detroit a bottle shop recommended a Wax Wings IPA to me, which I brought home and thoroughly enjoyed. I believe it was this one: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/53044/360429/

I was just in Detroit for an extended weekend, figured this thread could use dusting off. Breweries: Detroit have a few, but honestly they're not as saturated as most places are these days.

Pine seems like a flavour profile that has fallen out of favour a bit over the years. I haven't had a Lone Pine in ages, I should pick a few up.

Thanks!

I had As Is on the list already, but the other two are new to me. City Swiggers could definitely be on the agenda since it's by the museums.

It's on the list!

Grimm was on my list, but KCBC wasn't, thanks!

I'll go where the beer is.

I've got a weekend in NY on the horizon. Any updated advice?
