Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Ummmm....new release, way to go LCBO, it's Dec. 9th. http://www.lcbo.com//lcbo/product/craft-beer-advent-calendar/319110#.WEr4m8tOnqA For what it's worth, this was a private order with a few months in the making. 9 days late sucks, but the beers in this are all euro, and the packaging is pretty coo...

I saw that this had opened! I wonder if this will replace the broadview location as my local. Laird is still mostly untouchable.

Re: Beer Cellars

I have the ghetto version of that. Upright commercial freezer with a temp controller. 2nd hand freezer off kijiji for 150, temp controller (inkbird) was 50.

Re: Cask Days 2016

I believe the red dot, at least in the cider section, was meant for 2 tokens. That's the deal on friday, but it seems each day was different.

The guys told me a little about some future barrel plans, including the fact that they have a foeder on order.
