It's most likely that they're operating these pop-up nights under the license of Kanji, the Japanese restaurant that was in the space and closed a couple of months ago.

Hoping to find out more soon...

You're right - the original list from the LCBO had "Krlek" which I thought was a typo so I "fixed" it. :oops:

Isn't Liberty Village Brewing Co opening on the old Origin/Liberty Noodle location kitty-corner to this? That seems much more interesting to me. Nope - that's opening this weekend as a location of Local Public Eatery, a more down-market off-shoot of Joey's: http://localpubliceatery.com/ A couple of...

Re: Cantillon bottle format question

Are all of the Cantillon beers available in both 375ml and 750ml formats? If not, which are available in the smaller format? I like their beers but it's not often I want 750ml of a sour. The short answer is that some are available in both formats, and some (mostly the "rare" ones) are 750...

3 Brewers Liberty Village

Not a review exactly, as it'll be some time until it's open, but a new location of 3 Brewers is under construction in south side of the former Academy of Spherical Arts building in Liberty Village.

also, noticed the pyramid says 'imported by Brick Brewing Company'. Is this a new thing? Ontario brewers importing american beers? It's not common, but it's happened a few times in the past. For example, Sam Adams was represented by Sleeman for a while, and is now partnered with Moosehead. And Bric...
