http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/centurion-ale Picked up a couple 6's at the brewery last weekend, a very honeyish Scottish style ale, but finishes dry. Not a spruce bomb by any means, but it is noticeable in the aroma Based on the description at that link, it looks like this may be a rebrand of Hi...

I guess this is one of the reasons breweries join the OCB: http://www.canadianbeernews.com/2014/12/15/four-ontario-breweries-receive-government-funding-for-expansions-improvements/ Aren't Brick and Cassels non-members? Cassel joined the OCB recently. Brick used to be a member, but left some time ago.

I'm not sure (as has already been discussed) this development is at all good for the OCB. Could severely limit their shelf space in the end. Might be a case of be careful what you wish for. This is true. But at the same time it has basically been radio silence from the OCB. You would think they cou...

How do samples work, and how much will they cost? From the press release: What’s the event going to cost you? Sampling mugs can be purchased in advance for $20 at www.craftbeerfest.ca/winter or for $25 at the gate (remember, first 500 entrants receive a toque). Beer will only be served in the offic...

(Which probably explains why it's coming in on draught now, as Premier has one of the few keg import licenses in the province.)

Re: Town Crier / Sin & Redemption
Reviving an old thread. Do these two pubs share common ownership? I was looking at Thrillist, which did a "best of" back in July. http://www.thrillist.com/drink/toronto/the-best-beer-bars-in-toronto?ir=venue Town Crier and Sin & Redemption were on the list. I looked at their sites: th...

http://www.ganbeer.com/events---news.html Since the poster indicates events through October and November, and mentioned brewing is occurring in three cities, I'd think the H is fresh stock made in Niagara Falls. Ah, good catch. Yeah, could be that they don't have the capacity at the new place to do...

I was curious to know how this beer is, as I haven't seen it around anywhere since it was launched back in the spring: http://www.canadianbeernews.com/2014/03/28/gananoque-brewing-hip-hop-artist-jb-team-up-on-homers-premium-lager/ I'm also curious to know how old the bottle was that you had, as Gana...

Fuller's Vintage 2014 is out now: http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/product/fuller-s-vintage-ale/676213 $7.65 this year. I think it's inched up again... When I was in Queens Quay last night, they had the tag up for Fullers 2014, but all the bottles on the shelf said Fullers 2013. Huh. I got a 2014 at Dundas...
