Re: Bellwoods Brewery
this batch of Boyd is delicious . grabbed a couple bottles and had it on draft fri night, absolutely love it. Draft > bottle for me. Bottle is of course fantastic but there's something extra on draft.. What's extra? Can you describe what is so different that makes it superior? Just curious. Or can ...

Re: Detroit
I'll second Whole Foods. Was able to have a pint while walking around to grocery shop/buy more beer. For anyone interested, I've made a map. Feel free to put down more info and I'll add to it. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=z37LQsU_pfDY.kPJB4aERqMUs&usp=sharing Map is great and you got ...

Re: Sours, Brett, Wild, and Saisons
And some Ontario brewers are still very small and keep those types of offerings limited to draft only. One great example is Black Swan's berlinerweisse "Wild Child". One of Ontario's best "sour" beers, period. As for those doing belgian styled brews that may have stuff in the LCB...

Re: Trafalgar ESB, Chocolate Orange Porter, Mighty Oak
These judges are some of the most knowledgeable beer tasters, homebrewers, and pro brewers in the province and definitely aren't a joke. My reply was mainly to refute the comment "Don't get me started on the BJCP judges who come out for these things. The entire thing is a joke.". When I r...

Re: Trafalgar ESB, Chocolate Orange Porter, Mighty Oak
The OCB awards did not do their credibility any favors by awarding best newcomer to Trafalgar. The "explanation" is weak. Don't get me started on the BJCP judges who come out for these things. The entire thing is a joke. In turn, awards given to any beer or brewery hold little to no water ...

There are a lot of over hyped beer events I'm sure, DLD is not one of them. It deserves all the hype it gets. If you don't enjoy being around enthusiastic beer lovers who share beer from all over the world, being able to get a wide range of interesting brews on tap (in 9 or 16 oz servings), or gene...

I wish we could delete almost this entire page of this thread starting with FEUO offering his take on why he doesn't want to go on a thread with people pumped to go.

Far from cool. Just find a majority of your posts annoying and stupid. You are the problem. The feeling is mutual friend. There's a handy dandy ignore feature built into most message boards.

I was referring to Dark Lord. As for the ones you've mentioned. I've had a majority of those mulitple times from the comfort of my home. But good for you for getting to taste those. Have fun in the cold and rain! You're so cool it almost hurts. I will have boat loads of fun in the cold and rain btw...

No interest in going. Long way for just an ok beer. The event is heavily hyped which invariably means leaving disappointed. I'd much rather hit Chicago on a random weekend for a relaxed time hitting HopLeaf, Map Room, Local Option, etc. And FFF for takeout on my way back. Just ok beer? I'll remembe...
