Ran 10km for the first time in my life, so rewarding myself with a bomber of BORIS The Crusher... probably more calories than I burned on the run, but man, it is delicious. I can't wait to crack the barrel aged BORIS I have now.

This seemed to always sell quickly at the LCBO closest to me, but they decided to stop carrying it for some reason. I would frequently go in and it would be out, then next time I'm in there are several more 6 packs on the shelf. However, once it wasn't there, I stopped buying it instead of walking f...

Does anyone know which of the Derniere volonte from the DDC release is the right one? http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/18272 or http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1141/55436 neither of them have the right alcohol average, so I'm not sure which is the correct one. It's probably the first ...

Last time I was at Cooper St. (a couple of weeks ago). There was a bunch (at least a box) of the OD 40. I wonder how much demand there was in T.O. for an $18 beer after the initial frenzy? It did sell out though. I bought 3 bottles in total (one for myself, one for my dad at father's day and one as...

Cooper Street / Queen's Quay - if it's listed online, it's probably already gone, so why even bother? Oh they have a shipload of everything except Volonte and Corne... where's my hop fix dammit... All were in today. Only 2 bottles of Volonte and 4 bottles of Corne left after me though. Lots of ever...

Found some Blanche Paradis on the shelf at Cooper St. today. Showing 91 bottles, I would have thought more. Looks like get it while you can. I grabbed the last bottle from the shelf after work today. Not sure if there was more in the back or not. I didn't ask because I only wanted to get one to try...

Perhaps the Usual Suspects will be selling it barside as well...
I'd probably want about 6 of these if we can split a case a few ways.

OK, let's say I bought 24 Blanche du Paradis and 24 Aphrodisasque, every other variety I see myself buying far less than 24 of (but still some of every single kind, for reviewing and notes). Would my 24 Blanche & Aphrodite last say, 3 months? Pretty sure I'll massacre all of these rather fast, ...

Picked up my cases this morning! Man, they really make it annoying at all for individuals to pick up a case or 2 when you have bars/restaurants there piling up trucks with boxes of wine in front of you, even though you were the first person there in the morning. I said as much to the people in fron...

Pike XXXXX Extra Stout - I think this is my new 'go-to' stout, now that it's fresh and not exploding everytime a cap is popped. I love this beer. When I had this, it was the best stout I've ever had at the time (though I hadn't had any imperial stouts before, so maybe my perspective was warped). I ...
