Cameron's Auburn Ale - very good, but I had a not-so-fresh bottle
Amsterdam Boneshaker IPA - awesome cross between an English IPA and ESB. Nice aggressive bitterness with a juicy, silky, semi-creamy mouthfeel. More please!

You originally added it as a kristalweizen. Yep, before tasting, and that's why I had no problem admitting it was erroneous once I sampled the beer. You asked me to change something that had zero reviews, and sorry, but I'm not going to take your word on something. That's too bad, because if you di...

Great Lakes Miami Weiss - excellent well-hopped wheat ale
Cameron's Dark 266 - meh
Cameron's Lager - good, though not as tasty as Galt Knife

That would be much appreciated Len. I'll definitely buy a few bottles and maybe more if it's good stuff.

Wasn't able to make it last night but I plan to run through this, the Plowman's, and Honey Dew tonight. Amazing tap lineup, Milos. I'm guessing the FestivAle didn't last too long?

That and Anchor Liberty are probably my most frequent purchases at the 'BO. If forced into a corner - i.e. not much else is available - I'll always go for hops!

So then don't call me out on other forums You seem intent on pushing this, so here goes: the way you dealt with this particular change request was sloven and offensive, INSISTING that it's not an APWA - when it clearly is - and calling me a "douchebag" (LOL!) for providing you with correc...

Re: Why we are so far behind

We've run out of both Pale Ale & Nut Brown Ale in bottles due to a big LCBO delivery that was supposed to be completed by last Sunday but we are just finishing up today. Hey Ken - I'm glad to see the Pale Ale in London LCBOs again. I grabbed a couple sixers the other day. Also, the Saison is ta...

These guys are making a splash what with their award winning craft beers, award winning sake and Shochu. Yep, and if I recall correctly the Red Rice Ale is actually made with sake! That's probably why it tastes like no other beer I've ever had. Breweries over here could certainly learn a thing or t...

Just because I read the Globe doesn't mean that I believe in or support everything that they write. And for that matter, I doubt that there is ANY media outlet - mainstream or alternative - that I agree with completely. Fair enough. For me it was 'the last straw' before I cancelled my subscription,...
