Read my post from this morning again carefully.

But my bottles, which were fine, only slight sediment and haze, have no date on them... Pay attention to the following: So there is no doubt that the bottles without a bottling date were bottled some time prior to May 21, 2012, and the shipment sent to the LCBO contained product from at least 2 dif...

Same here. I've had two good four packs now. Well 6 singles buying three at a time in order to get around the sticker price on the four pack. Lame. Have any of these bottles been kept refridgerated? Normally, chill haze clears up after a beer comes up to temperature, but if a beer has been stored f...

Any KW folks know whether there are any craft beer focussed Octoberfest events, or Octoberfest events that will at least feature some decent beer planned in the area this weekend?

I'd say at least 70% of your posts, Len, contain some complaint (whether explicit or in thinly veiled sarcasm) about the community here and our radical libertarianism. It's easy to dismiss Len's posts as the ramblings of a drunken madman. As verbal excrement delivered by an adherent to an ostensibl...

Last night at home: Samuel Adams Octoberfest Southern Tier IPA La Trappe Isid'or I agree with Cale's comment - we're going back a few months here - that the ST IPA has improved substantially. I believe this beer has gone through three tweaks in the last four years, and the latest one has brought ba...

So it's a mickey mouse, half assed "national" competition. Seems hella lame compared to the Sam Adams Longshot comp in the states. i dont see the problem here? it would be 'mickey mouse' if it were poorly run. it would be 'half assed' if they set out to make it an open national competitio...

Thanks for the credit, the goal is to get the news out there, but always feels better when mentionning the source :) I REALLY cant wait for the imperial stout. Had it at Mondial in 2011, and it was by best-of-show. it's an excellent publication BTW Ian. I thoroughly enjoyed reading thru the latest ...

Last 2 nights in Montreal:

Benelux Armada (I love this brown ale)
Benelux Grisette
Unibroue Trois Pistoles (classic)
Unibroue Maudite
Brasseurs Illimites Simple Malt Cascade IPA (very malty IPA, nice flavour)
Brasseurs Illimites Simple Malt Golding Pale Ale
Les Brasseurs RJ Brune d'Achouffe

Just arrived in Montreal..here all week. Anyone know of any events, new places or special releases I should be seeking out?

Funny as I have some Runiation that I purchased in August/bottled in May and was sitting on a warm shelf in upstate New York that while clearly not "fresh" still expodes with hop flavour and aroma. Really makes me wonder what happened to the Green Flash. I am no zymurgist, but I wonder if...

Unfortunately, this Spadinatown LCBO has it, I passed. may not be compatible with this I will definitely re-try it fresh if the LCBO allows. Underwhelming product, and I doubt tired stock will change my mind so I can't care enough to waste my money trying to appease the moronic monolith. Wasn't sug...
