Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

LCBO's response in a nasally irritating voice "We feel that we already have too many sku's dedicated to the IPA style. It is our belief that the margin would be better attained through golden ales or english ales because that is what we feel the consumer wants. No we do not look at trends or ev...

Re: The Brewery Market

Are there any more dates slotted for Brewers Market in Ottawa. I seem to remember a late one last year.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Was in Toronto last week, had the IPA and the Cali. IPA was great, Cali although not my thing, still tasted good.

Picked up a couple more IPA for home. I really want this to become a thing so I don't mind the price in order to get more in.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Happily stand corrected. Good on them. Their new Head Brewer of the City Centre location is from Gainsbourg. He was making great stuff there. Can't wait to see what he can do at BTP

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

I doubt that is BTP. I was under the impression that they weren't that close to LCBO because they are having enough problems keeping up with current demand. I know the new brewery is up and running but they have more fermentors on order.

It would be awesome if this is BTP but I'm doubtful.
