Re: Collective Arts

it's a really strange beer. the peach puree, hops and malt are balanced in a way that nothing stands out. somebody said it taste like mouthwash but I think it's more like after you brush your teeth and drink something hehe :D

I hope IPA No. 7 is more interesting like a Sour or Brut IPA.

Re: Online Brewery sales

How is delivery handled for these? ie) Someone over 19 has to sign (yes?) so do they deliver in the evening, or leave it at the post office? if it's only a box or two the postman or post lady that delivers mail to your house/community box will deliver it. multiple boxes might get delivered by a lar...

Re: Online Brewery sales

I should mention Merit in Hamilton was very good to me. one of the owners noticed I lived down the street from him so he emailed me and not only dropped off my order but gave me a couple extra beers to cover the cost of shipping :)

I have ordered from Merit, Collective Arts, HHOE, Archibald Winery, Nickel Brook, Left Field, etc. nothing bad to say about any of them. all the beers/ciders I ordered were made under a 2 week period. a couple of them throw in buttons, coasters, stickers, etc. here are some useful links https://onta...

Re: LCBO Autumn 2018 Release

I contacted the LCBO on Facebook and they thanked me for the "catch" and said they will fix this. Is there the usual Hallowe'en release too? Some local Marzens, I hope. there should be 2 more lists. Pumpkin Beers and Ontario beers ie Beau's Fall Mixed Pack, Collective Arts, Mill st, etc.
