It's only illegal and cheating if you get caught. Dude got sloppy :wink: Wish I was a diplomat to wave alcohol taxes, sheesh.

Yeah, the taxes are the real killer... homebrew IS the answer. On Malt prices... it could get interesting. The markets in China & India are expanding, the Americans are pushing corn for fuel and the Canadian Wheat board is dead. By 2015, I wouldn't be surprised if malt prices are 5 times higher...

Liquor stores that sell craft beer in Washing State???

I'm moving to BC with my wife, her for med school, me I can go anywhere since I'm a writer. We got a pretty sweet house, and it's really close to the border. This is my chance, I thought. It was always such a pain in the ass to drive to Buffalo from Toronto to get some great beer. Bringing back 24 b...

Pretty good, but will NOT buy again. I only bought one to try it.

2.95 per can?

That'd be 17 bucks for a six pack of IPA... what in the friggin hell.. I'll pass.

Smashbomb and Mad Tom are under 13 for a six pack why the hell would I buy that. Is it made in gold plated tanks?

Just picked up a sixer and can't find a date stamp. I thought they were supposed to be on the bottom of the sixer. Am I mistaken? Its on the neck of the bottle, hard to see though. Thanks.

Be better if they didn't lower it to 6%. kinda weak, good taste though. This thing needs it 7% back imo.

Bought 4 of them from Mavis and Dundas, LOL. I feel like a dick but god damn, this stuff isn't meeting the supply and demand.

I had one of the older batches at my friends place, it was meh. Had one of these newer ones, good lord, so much better. Easily top 3 IPA's, and I've had a lot of them.

unibroue(quebec)... must have more.

Only thing we can get around here is troi pistoles, la find du monde, blance de chambly, and maudite (this is disapearing now). I have to drive a good 25 mintues to get Troi Pistoles. I'm under the firm belief that this is the single greatest brewery in canada, and I'm surprised it's not more readil...

More stellar service from LCBO employees (That's complete and utter sarcasm. Sometimes that doesn't convey very well through text.) Went to the TORONTO-ETOBICOKE LCBO - The website says they have 8 in stock. So I go in, look around. Nothing. Not surprised, they are so god damn slow and keep stuff si...
