Re: Bellwoods Brewery

I'm betting Jelly King won't have any limits (or will have a higher limit) since they didn't go out of their way to put the bottle count on the label. Grandma's Boy they'll probably mention the limit in their upcoming blog post about it, and Motley they'll likely say once they actually announce what...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Haven't heard about this one until I stumbled across it on the lcbo site. Looks like it's not in distribution quite yet. http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/product/rogue-7-hop-ipa/405860#.VusgDnrHa9U I believe this came and went last year. I remember seeing it on room temperature LCBO shelves last year with ...

Re: Great Lakes

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that it's the same format as they had in the LCBO before. As far as I can recall, that means it doesn't have to go through lab testing again (someone correct me if I'm wrong). I might get one just to see how the hop profile has changed (was never a big fan ...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

I loved it as well, though no complaint about the ABV from me. I still have a bottle in the cellar because I couldn't bring myself to finish it off. I'm very curious to see how it tastes now. I'll probably end up having it once the new one comes out so I can try them side by side. I'm hoping the new...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

Yeah that's a small fear of mine as well but the post mentions that they're not expanding their distribution network so that does put me at ease a bit. In somewhat related news, sounds like they're going to release Motley Cru a little later than usual this year (possibly some time in May according t...

Very few of you know that in order to attempt to deal with the delays at Dupont we’re currently building a third brewery. No, we are not crazy, (or at least this is what we tell ourselves).

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

Looks like Bounty Hunter is also making a comeback later this month (date unknown) for $8/bottle, no limits per person. I'm really excited about this one actually, I love it. Bounty Hunter set for release this Friday. I had some at the brewery on the weekend and it was great to taste it fresh again...

Yeah I saw that and just got back from the LCBO with a couple bottles.

Re: Untappd

Oh that's awesome. I wonder if that $800 is USD (probably), and if they have a smaller tier for bars which want to list their tap lists as well. I can't see many bars shelling out that much just to do their tap lists (especially ones that already don't post it online).
