I wish they had more milds and bitters. Every year they focus on American styles that (like others say on this site) are better on tap anyway. Maybe one day it will be re-named : "Randaled Days". i've never seen a randal there, but i get what you're saying. guess you're asking ontario bre...

was hoping to see the st ambroise RIS and vintage ale back again..

Thanks for the post, but looking at that list, I can't help feeling like I've been kicked in the stomach...

Wasn't BCBS and BCBBW on tap somewhere in Toronto this year?? Yeah, they did a one-off event earlier in the year. The question is if that was a prelude to maybe a seasonal release of some sort, or if it was just a one-off never to be seen again. Stone and Sierra Nevada started the same way, maybe A...

Too bad Andechs isn't there. I'm interested in hearing the comparisons. I find Andechs incredibly sweet. It's a beautiful spot to drink beer, but haven't fallen in love with the beer itself. I haven't had Andechs' doppelbock for a couple years now, but I had Weihenstepaner Korbinian and found it cl...

Hofbräu Dunkel - my gosh it's nice! Happy Oktoberfest, y'all… I'm having Hofbrau Original right now, I picked it up after going through quite a few Dunkels this week. The Original has a bottling date of August 4th 2015 (Bayview Village location), so I couldn't resist. If you liked the Dunkel, keep ...

I love Volo as much as the next guy; not sure I would call Hill Farmstead pushing the envelope.

What is immature Brett?

TL;DR = it's not sweet like pure sugar or like chocolate cake would be sweet, but it would be "sweet" like a loaf of bread could be described as "sweet"

Lol, yeah that's what I meant by sweet. We can agree PU doesn't taste like an alcopop or cake.

also new Side Launch Dark Lager LCBO#: 437228 | 473 mL can I like the Hofbrau Dunkel a lot more than Side Launch. Side Launch doesn't impress me anymore. I wonder if they changed their base recipe. Even their normal Hefeweizen doesn't taste nearly as good as the previous iteration used to. Maybe th...

[ Therefore it takes 5-8 minutes for each separate return with a different receipt. The cashier this week said the system in place was called 'Red' something, he hated it and the resulting service is amazingly not service-oriented (a whole other topic.) they changed their return policy?
