Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
FWIW I was in Baker Street station(one of really only two pubs in Guelph with decent tap selection) just the other day. Reading the chalkboard; I noticed spearhead has no taps anymore, when I believe they used to have at least 2 if not 3 full time for the past couple of years. Who is the other? I'm...

Re: Barncat Artisan Ales (a BT member!!) opening in Cambridge
Just growler sales for the most part, but a few local places are getting a keg this week. I'll let Matt or Jeremy give out a list of places.

Re: Dieu du ciel St. Jerome location - worth visiting?
I'm also going to Montreal later this month, came across this.
tl;dr: It's a wine bar and the only beer they serve is Hill Farmstead.

Re: Arabella Park Beer Bar - Kitchener
The only info I was given was that there was a Bar Stillwell owned bar opening in town. I've been waiting since October to hear more. I was told it was opening on Belmont in the old Vincenzo's though.
