Re: Growlers at LCBO
Definitely... that's how most off sales were done when they first opened their retail sales.Cass wrote:Pretty sure the Granite has been doing growler fills from the tap for years.

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread
the LCBO's turning their Danforth and Broadview location into a pilot location for ethnic-focused wine. it will have more Greek wine SKUs. . Hopefully that means that their beer selection doesn't get any worse! (I'm not so happy with the current selection there ... but that is true of most LCBOs to...

Interesting. Not a chance in hell he'll win, but it at least grabs headlines and increases the awareness of "faux" craft

Hopefully! I hate the fact that they were bought out, but at least they seem to be keeping things interesting!

Really nice place ... but...
...really pricey.
This is my local, but probably one of the most expensive places in the city to get a pint!
I don't really mind the sports bar feel. The city needs a few good sports bars with good beer.

Cooincidence?
Toronto has horrible sports teams and horrible craft beer selection at sports venues....coincidence? I think not!
Better Beer makes better teams!
... or at least happier more satisfied fans even when their team is losing!

Hopefully it will reopen
Hopefully it will reopen. Seems like the landlord has a chronic problem...himself (or herself). From my understanding they screwed over Denisons, and now perhaps Duggans.... would likely make any bar potential think twice...nice location, but not THAT nice. I agree having a long term stable tenant a...

Denison's Weissbier

As I've said here on these boards before when I grab a six pack of a Unibroue from the top shelf dust falls all round. Woo! Pre-aged Unibroue!
