Upcoming LCBO release of Lake Effect in cans. Hopefully it gets out nice and fresh, I think LE is my favourite of their IPAs. Saw some cans being delivered to C'est What? yesterday and then saw a pic on insta later that day where one of the cans was actually filled with harry porter. Hopefully they...

Upcoming LCBO release of Lake Effect in cans. Hopefully it gets out nice and fresh, I think LE is my favourite of their IPAs. Also my favourite of their IPAs but I always limited how many I bought because of the 650ml format. Saw some cans being delivered to C'est What? yesterday and then saw a pic...

Sawdust updated their website recently - they now have a 'what's in the fridge' section: http://www.sawdustcitybrewing.com/ (scroll down).

Was there and for the most part had a good time - ran into a few folks from BT. Also really enjoyed the Ducato bottles (esp. the Krampus). Was hoping they would kick out that idiot in the red shirt who jumped the link. He cut in 2-3 people behind us. I know exactly what he looks like - fucked up fr...

Smart format change for a good beer.

Does it have a cork? Or just a metal cap? Has anyone tried this yet? I want to know if it's a real sour before I commit to a bunch of them. Just had one tonight. Very nice and tart. Not very sweet at all. Nice sour, not lip puckering but it is sour for sure. Didn't get a hint of heat. Worth picking...

It's incredibly dumb.

Not much equity in Belgian Moon!

wonder why the name change to 'belgian moon' for canada? http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/industry-news/marketing/molson-coors-bringing-its-craft-beer-blue-moon-to-canada/article25744389/ Trademarking - Jordan has been covering some of this on Twitter: https://twitter.com/saints_ga...

?? What are these?

On their website, it appears they sell standard 473 ml cans.

Crowlers - a can growler.

Their core brands are in 473 cans and you can get a crowler fill of a seasonal (right now just the Boosted IPA).

Had their speed wobble and clutch back at the Barrie beer/rib fest some time ago. Both nicely done, both had some room for improvement...but overall, for their first attempt, I was pleased. Hope they do well with an official space and opening. Clutch made no impression on me when I tried it at Rib ...

Retail has opened for Redline now - looks like the restaurant should open tomorrow.

Must say, the APA (Clutch) is killer and their American Strong is really nice as well (Speed Wobble). I think the Golden Ale needs some work but I'm pretty stoked to see how Redline progresses. Solid start.

Would be interesting to see a "what is brewed where" list for all the Ontario craft beer we have.....I think Cool and Wellington are pump out a lot of stuff.

Just started drinking the Tank 7 farmhouse ale. It's good, but a little odd. Nice and peppery saison character. I found it a bit sweet and alcohol forward though. At 8.5%, I find that a bit high for a farmhouse ale. I'm really digging it - I was actually surprised by the abv as I thought it was wel...
