Re: Keep6 Imports opens online bottle shop

I would be very interested in getting in on a case split of 3F and Moralité. I'm sure this will be a hit for Bar Towelers.

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

Motley Cru 15 is on tap at the brewpub right now. Couldn't resist dropping by to have a glass. Drinking fantastically of course.

Re: Great Lakes

I would be very happy if it's Imperial Bout, had it on the weekend at the Wooly tap takeover, it was delicious.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Cracked the bottle of Rodenbach Vintage 2013 I picked up from Summerhill at the Vanilla Rye release. I thought it was fantastic and picked up two more for the cellar. I'd put it up there with Motley Cru 2015 as far as red wine-esque sours go. My girlfriend and I must have downed that 750ml bottle in...

Re: Left Field Resin Bag

I don't have any particular qualms with the quality of the product LF put out. Everything tastes right, usually no flaws. I will say that I find most of the stuff they do to be pretty safe, which makes it less to my personal tastes, because I tend to go for bold stuff. I know that when they were pu...

Re: Left Field Resin Bag

I stopped by Left Field for the first time last week and picked up a bottle. I enjoyed it, thought it was a well balanced IPA, might not have the most flavour in the world but it was a nicely hoppy and drinkable beer. What Craig said about comparing to Lake Effect is bang on. It doesn't stack up, bu...

Re: New BarVolo / House Ales location in Little Italy?

According to untappd, moralite is still listed as a collaboration with the alchemist. After trying heady topper for the first time recently, I can taste similarities in hop profile. Also the first Quebec IPA I'd ever liked. :D I had the imperial version, Immoralite, at Cask Days. Tastes extremely s...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Seemed like anyone who arrived by 9:30 opening time or just after got a bottle. Not at all the mayhem that surrounded Westy. Really well organized by Goose Island (not LCBO) staff, with numbered tickets, coffee and donuts, and free toques. Well done. There was enough for second bottles if you wante...

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

I can't wait to do a side by side review of both Bolshevik Bastard and Kentucky Bastard, two of my favourite stouts. I only wish I had held onto a final bottle of Winey Bastard from earlier this year. I was at the brewery about two weeks ago and picked one up. Could be worth a phone call if you rea...

Re: Amsterdam Brewery

Who's heading down to Queens Quay for Double Tempest today? I don't have anyone to go with so feel free to say hi and chat a bit. I'll be the really tall guy in the Phish hat and Crooked Stave sweater.

Very much looking forward to trying Double Tempest.

Re: Great Lakes

Sorry for the double post, but I thought this warranted a bump. Stopped by the brewery on my way home from work tonight and wanted to fill you guys in on changes from what's listed on the website. There are two new Project X beers available there. A Nu Stout, a 6.5%, 18 IBU stout, and Business Casua...

Re: Great Lakes

They're showing a beer called Night Terrors. Does anyone know what kind of beer this is? Can't find anything online. Neither can I, but I'm going to stop by the brewery later anyway and ask (while picking up a bottle or two of the stout). Edit: Looks like it's another Imperial Stout. I stopped by t...
