Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Re: Halo Brewery
I live in the neighbourhood and went on their opening day a couple weeks ago. Personally I think Halo is the best new brewery in Toronto I've tried since Left Field opened, and before that Bellwoods.
I'm looking forward to this IIPA tomorrow, I hope it delivers!

Well we know our Eataly won't be full of Dogfish Head beers for starters.biegaman wrote:Was recently at Eataly in NYC and... wow. Foodie heaven. I'm skeptical we'll get the same kind of selection here but, either way, excited to see it open.

Re: Ontario Brewing Awards 2016
Some interesting results, I would like to see the list of also rans, just to gauge who they were up against. I'm also surprised the don't run a fall awards for those under represented seasonal styles. These awards don't mean anything. Look at the number of bronzes that weren't awarded. Nobody submi...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Immodest is showing stock at some LCBOs, mostly in Toronto. I just grabbed six at the King & Spadina location. Canned March 17.
$5 is a great price for a DIPA in a tall can. That's what Great Lakes was charging for Robohop and Life Sentence at their bottle shop. I don't mind the price anyway.

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 ...

Prospect Galaxy, a single hop IPA is in the retail shop. I enjoyed Prospect Citra last year, so I'm sure this one will be good too.

Re: Bellwoods Brewery
About Bellwoods pricing, I think their special releases such as 3M2M, Skeleton Key etc are a steal. Something of that quality from the States would be so much more. But their everyday beer such as Jutsu and Wizard Wolf are too expensive to buy in large quantity (which is what I would want). Imagine...

Grabbed some Aphrodite today. Yeah, not thrilled about the date. But I've always loved it. Keeping my receipt should I find it too unpleasant. But I REALLLLLLLY love it when an LCBO employee makes comments about the price of beer compared to what it was like in their day. Oh yeah, such an impressed...
