I've driven to Wisconsin several times to bring back kegs of Raspberry Tart, Belgian Red and Serendipity. Serve...

Yeah, my fear is that the LCBO will use the "beer in grocery stores" as an excuse to diminish it's beer line up even before the first bottle hits the shelves in the grocery stores ...

Beer from thin air...
Well, not really all the beer, but the water is harvested from fog.... Very neat... Nothing in the article says if the beer is any good!

You can make the forum display in the reverse of the normal order (newest post on top of first page) by going into your profile, then under board preferences > Edit Display options and set the post to a "descending" order by post time

It is sort of odd that the same "breadcrumb" trail is not at the bottom of the page like it is at the top (eg.
