Re: LCBO Employees vote to strike - Strike Averted
A few years ago an LCBO strike would have been a mild disaster. This year I would have just stopped in at Bellwoods before hitting Sawdust City on the drive up north.

Re: OCB Week came and went and Bar Towel had nothing to say about it
If there were events, it shows how well (or not) they were marketed.

Re: Did Bellwoods go too far with PG
Judging by the lineup for the fast-selling Mango Milkshark today I'd argue that Bellwoods hasn't "gone far enough". Was a big fan of the Guava Shark - curious to see some of the creative reasons people come up with to bitch about this release. I'm sure Bellwoods is crying all the way to th...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery
Was at Hafis - about 50 people in line upon opening. No obvious mules from my vantage point - quite a few couples picking up the beer. Lineup was still going out the door when I left at 12:40. As an aside: I'm sure the 2 warehouses across the street really appreciated the few cars that blocked their...

Re: Did Bellwoods go too far with PG
I'm loving the Guava Milkshark. If anyone was disappointed by this beer for whatever reason and is looking to offload their investment I'll take them off your hands for you.

Re: Spearhead Brewing Company
Interesting. Are they still jawboning other breweries/brewers while talking up their own products?

Re: Thoughts on the Wicked Weed news?
I was a fan of theirs but I have no real reason to seek out their stuff now. That's more because I can get better beer with less effort, and for less money.
The backlash on this is pretty extreme - akin to Bellwoods getting bought by Labbatt.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives
I’d be happy to have a few of you bt-ers up to the brewery this week after work on Thursday. I'll open up a few bottles of Invictus and maybe a few others for you to enjoy. Feel free to email me if you are interested. Also, if you have any questions on the development of this brew, my brewery and/o...

Re: Market Brewing Company
Cute packaging for sure, but I'm more interested in if the beer is actually any good.
Close enough to my house so I'll probably stop by at some point.

All seriousness, I wish them luck and I'll probably try things once since they're not too far from home, but my expectations are tempered somewhat.

Milkshark is probably going to get all the thunder, but Runes is the way to go.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Grabbed a 4 pack this AM at 401 and Weston. They mentioned it was "scanning wrong" (My guess is they've been given some instructions regarding scanning each bottle individually) but they were starting to clear shelf space for it. I really like KBS but I don't see any real reason go all #ne...
