Dalai Lambic was good, but my highlights were the Double Tempest variants...

Brett Maverick and Gose was sensational as well

Also have some limited Alchemist stuff hanging around!
Just lineup at 7pm. Doubt anything will sell out by then. I'd bet on anything Cantillon being pricey enough to keep most people at bay/in check.

Maybe Railway City should work on improving the regular Dead Elephant Ale, as opposed to releasing variations on a theme. Easily one of my bottom 3 "readily available" IPAs in the province.

Any of those Great Lakes / Amsterdam takeovers at Volo back in the day (and in recent days).
The DDC takeovers at Volo and WVRST in past years.
Anything Bellwoods/Great Lakes/Amsterdam at Bar Hop.

I dunno.

will trade them for any of Muskoka's reserved series - Winter Beard (has to really taste like frozen peas) or Spring Oddity.
I've got some Barley Days loose bottles that have been exquisitely aged in the trunk of my buddy's car for the duration of the summer. Multiples if you want.

ISO: Zwanze ticket

Figured I'd put this out there relatively early, in case anything comes up for someone who has already put the money up for a ticket.

Or if you want to straight up trade, I can provide some decent beers + cash compensation.

Lemme know.

Was pressing refresh every 5 seconds for a solid minute up until this went on sale. Literally went from "tickets unavailable" to "sold out" between refreshes. Unreal.

So whats your flagship for the style? IIRC kuhnhenn's Sully's Kolsch is one of the best I've ever had. Thanks, it helps pinpoint your reference for the style. Definitely not as fresh-fruity-nutty as what you'd find in Cologne, but more crisp, hop-forward and spiced. Although very enjoyable, its not...

Total rookie beer. The only beer worth drinking for the price is Lug Tread, and I won't even buy that anymore as it only supports the continuous brewing and LCBO inundation of mediocre to bad, and overpriced Beau's beer. Not sure if you're trolling with the Lug Tread comment or what, easily one of ...
