Night Marzen is back for the fall at the LCBO. I've got the press release here: http://www.torontobeerblog.com/beer-new ... urns-lcbo/

IMO line ups you actually choose to be in are not really a license to feel entitled to better service. +1 We live in a culture of entitlement and it can be easy to forget, none of us "deserve to" or "have to" drink HF beers. We can choose to do so, but they are under no obligati...

I agree 100% with Matthew. You can't claim the lack of properly pre-filling is a QC issue. Especially as there is no way they can inspect a growler visually and declare it "clean". It's a bloody-minded "because we can" issue. And they are right, they absolutely can. If they are h...

Wow, I'm glad that this has generated some decent chatter! I actually honestly did give some time and thought to throwing in a dude or two, but came up short. In retrospect, Eau Benite, Long Dong, and a couple of others I was reminded of would all have fit the bill. It's just a lot easier to find ti...

Hey guys,
For a bit of light reading, and honestly, as clickbait, I threw together a list of the 8 sexiest beer labels in Canada. Post is here:

Man I love the internet some days

Hey guys. Mark and Mandie have this as their summer offering, and it's a beauty. Grapefruit is there but not dominant, the saison could easily stand on it's own. Just lovely. Here's my full review: http://www.torontobeerblog.com/beer-review/sunlight-park-saison-left-field-brewery/ Get it at OCB Week...

One more give away today, and I suspect it will generate some interest around here: donate today and you'll be entered to win a bottle of Amsterdam Double Tempest Imperial Stout. Donation rules have changed a bit, so bigger donations get you more entries. Full deets here: http://www.torontobeerblog....

Shoot guys, totally forgot to keep up posting here! My apologies. But I figured you all might be interested in today's contest, it's for a $50 gift card for Indie Alehouse. Details here:

Thanks for all the support!

I hope you're all having a good long weekend. No contest today or tomorrow, but there will be something on Tuesday. Plus I've confirmed that I've got a bottle of Amsterdam XX Tempest to give away. Not sure when I'll do it, but I'll make sure I post here when I do.

Thanks so much for the support! Up next is a Steam Whistle long weekend gift box. Details here:

Hey all. So, I'm taking part in a fund-raiser to support St Baldrick's Foundation, which works to fund children's cancer research and provide long and healthy lives for children's cancer survivors. I'm shaving my head at an event on June 4th, and asking for donations to try to reach my goal of $2500...

Hey dudes. Just a little update: I'm drinking the Rye IPA I made a while back with the usual heap of problems of a new homebrewer. In all it rates in my "it's okay for homebrew" category. f'ed up the hops in the recipe and should have known better, and with that forgot to de-chlorinate my ...

Nine days, but who's counting
