Wow! I grabbed 6 bottles today and I'm just enjoying my first beer from Grand River. What an amazing beer to start with. A soft mouthfeel with not too heavy carbonation, and the taste I immediately thought of was gingerbread. Tastes great with a few cookies. I'm not far down the road from Cambridge,...

A Green King IPA, and I'm going up to Cambridge for a family holiday this weekend, I'm itching to stop by Grand River. You should check out the Golden Kiwi if you've got the chance.

How to clean an old carboy?

After visiting my parent's house on the holidays, I grabbed my dad's 20 year old 5 gallon carboy he used for winemaking. Any suggestions as to what's the best way to clean off 2 decades of disuse?

Had a PBR after some shovelling (2 shovelling sessions for me, one for my wife!), but with all this Unibrue talk, I may bust open a bomber tonight.

I also saw the Trafalgar at the Royal York LCBO today. Looking at the box it had a piece of card glued on the back which described the beers and their alcohol content. Perhaps the LCBO measurement differed from Trafalgar's and the brewery was told it would be discontinued without the correct labell...
