Amsterdam Sweet Nothing....Jesus that was terrible! That would get my vote for worst Ontario beer of 2015, honourable mentions go to Blood Brothers Shumei.sprague11 wrote:There was one spectacularly bad beer at zwanze but I can't remember what it was. Liam or Pino could probably fill in the blank.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Beau's, Beau's and more Beau's....the LCBO sure has a knack for drowning us in the stuff no one really wants. That should read "stuff no one on bartowel really wants" because their stuff probably outsells every other Ontario brewer currently available at the LCBO by a pretty significant m...

Re: Great Lakes
Solstice is also coming to the LCBO, but I think its a pretty small bottle run

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO
Brewery features are done with. From what I understand scheduled releases will be smaller than before with more non-release new items (fat tug, Aphrodite etc.) showing up at random times sometimes lining up with the seasonal releases that also show up at random times.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Those Trafalgar beers were quite good when I tasted them. God knows what happens when the LCBO warehouse intercedes. Trafalgar (like every other Ontario Brewer except Muskoka and sawdust city) delivers direct to LCBO/TBS stores. Most Ontario stuff comes direct and while it's easy to blame the LCBO ...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO
Is this actually happening? It's almost 2 weeks away from Black Friday. Yes.... Bottles will be 37.95 ....roughly 220 or so bottles available. Lol. Care to elaborate on your well thought out post that clearly contributes meaningfully to this discussion? Are you implying that the bottle count is low...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO
From what I understand for Black Friday this year last year's BCBS Vanilla Rye will be available for sale at Summerhill only. My understanding is that it will be about 20 cases at 1 bottle per person. Since this information is new to me and not 100% confirmed, I ask that you please don't email/call...

Re: Cask Days 2015
I get wanting to save some beer for other sessions but not advertising 10oz pours would be the way to go in my opinion. This makes a lot of sense. they opted not to offer 10oz pours for beers over 7% ABV per the Servings section on the cask days homepage. Everything else had the option of 10oz pour...

Re: Cask Days 2015
I went to the Friday evening session and thought it was pretty good, I managed to try most of what I wanted to try without problems. At the beginning of the session the only Bellwoods beer that was pouring was Farmageddon, at around 9:30 3 Min was pouring so I got some of that and like 10 min later ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
NAC was saying on fb that the smutty nose finest kind IPA was supposed to be at TBS in time for thanksgiving weekend.. NAC says a lot of things. I don't think they have ever been right about the times they have given for any beer to hit shelves. I understand that at a certain point it is out of the...
