Re: Muddy York Brewing

I got an email mentioning they were releasing an NEIPA. I liked Left Field's Laser Show a lot so I'm excited to try this. For people more knowledgeable than me, is the main point about this style variation the yeast used? I didn't get a yeast taste so I'm assuming that this more about hop particle ...

Re: Bitcoin is the plural of Bitcoin...

But might as well give it away or trade it since it's rare and people want it. That's my 'non Prud'homme Beer Specialist' opinion. 8) Trade and buy and drink what the heck you want, people. You have my permission - and I am a 'BT Legend', LOL. LOL...that was just me trying to add a little levity to...

Re: FT: Founders KBS; ISO: Trillium, Treehouse

I guess I don't get it but neither do you. I'm glad you think know exactly what I bought the beer for. Just to clarify since you took it upon yourself to incorrectly assume, I bought a measly 8 bottles and was just looking to trade a couple away. I fully plan to enjoy the majority of the beer by my...

Wow it' s like I threw a piece of meat to a pack of rabid wolves. Calm the f**k down people (Atomeyes). I've never seen so much vitriol over a stupid beer trade offer when a lot worse has been posted in the past. I feel like someone is going to throw a tulip glass at me. To quote Atomeyes, I think ...

Re: Bad Tankhouse Beer

Re: FT: Founders KBS; ISO: Trillium, Treehouse

Never hurts to put the feelers out. It's a hard sell to Ontario folks, though, based on KBS being a shelfie. Maybe try posting to the Beer Trade Canada ISO:FT group on Facebook. You might not get exactly what you are looking for, but you could definitely get some decent out of province/other US stu...

Re: Market Brewing Company

Looks very slick* for a new brewery. I hope they put as much effort into the beer itself. But something tells me they're going after customer experience/vibe rather than tasting great beer... "Something tells me" you're jumping to conclusions. Go taste the beer! well, they do have 2 TVs b...

Re: Who makes a good porter?

Are Porters and Stouts starting to see less production as spring approaches?? I've been to a couple of LCBO's and it seems Stouts and Porters are slim picks, nothing on the shelf's except the imported stuff from Europe. that's a completely separate discussion. the LCBO views porters and stouts as b...
