FYI for anyone in Kingston or surrounding area; I was in the Queen Mary and Bath LC to pick up some Hop Yard which I've been trying to get a handle on for a while and lo and behold 5 beautiful, deliciously chilled 6's of Smash bomb in the cooler. I was kind hearted enough to leave 2 behind. It's no...

Well I'm quite satisfied with Mad Tom IPA, even though its about a dollar more expensive than it should be for a 6 pack, but I digress. Now Ontario finally has a great IPA at its back.. now we just need a double/imperial ipa over 70 IBU and I'll be happy. I'd give my left nut for more hophead in sto...

Back on topic? I'm one of those people who drives to buffalo once a month to get some beer. I've never been caught (knock on wood) so I never have to pay duty taxes or any of that nonsense. The beer you can get down there is just -so- much better, for the most part, but that aside the prices, espeic...

Sandalwood Square on Bristol Road E. I called there and surprise surprise, they don't have it. When the rep answered the phone and heard me say the name she said instantly, that they do not have it. That pissed me off so much, because its so typical for BS employess to dismiss beers off hand that t...

I'm talkin about home consumption here sorry I didn't clarify. I've had the true north ipa, can definitely say I'm not a fan of that kind. I'm also in Mississauga so it's not hard for me to get downtown it's just irritating. The LCBO by dundas and mavis has a pretty good selection. Where can I find ...

Southern Tier IPA, the only good IPA?..

This is the only IPA I can find that's worth 12-13 dollars for a 6 pack... Grand River Curmudgeon IPA is actually pretty damn good I bought a 500 ml bottle of it last night and enjoyed it quite thoroughly. Any other IPA's I should try? 6.5% ABV + is prefered. I rarely enjoy the weaker ones. Counting...
