Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?
I wish we could get Two Hearted here. I have a Quick Beer video trip to Kalamazoo in March and I'm trying to get an interview with Bell's. Since they're now owned by Kirin/Lion I guess the old reasons for why they never came to Ontario – supposedly Larry Bell refused to deal with LCBO – don't apply...

Re: Quebec City Beer
We didn't touch St. Roch, but it seems to be the traditional shopping street with some nice dinning, bars, and coffee shops. Highly recommend Quebec City, but similar to another table at dinner that I eavesdropped on; It's an awkward distance. The flights are expensive (relative to distance), the t...

Re: Quebec City Beer
Thanks for sharing an update! I used to have a client who was a sponsor of Carnaval so I went for a few years. Always a great vibe and enjoyed exploring the funky bars along Saint-Jean, which it looks like is where the places you went to were as well.

Re: Kalamazoo
Kalamazoo confirmed they would like A Quick Beer video so I'm heading over there in early March. Will be interesting to check it out, besides going to the Bell's bar I have not done a single thing of anything else there.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
You got that right. I usually don't stress about beers coming and going but that's one I will miss. I'll probably buy the mix packs when I'm driving through Buffalo in the future now.

Canadian Beer News acquired by the Canadian Brewing Awards.

It’s funny you mention about English, when I was in Ecuador a couple of years ago I communicated with a bartender using Google translate on our phones and showing it to each other. It did the trick!

Re: Blood Brothers’ Over The Tap - $7 to $12 for 4 oz pours
I saw a couple of tweets (x's?) from Max Morin (Godspeed) but he didn't name names so I wasn't sure what he was referring to.
$12 for 4oz from a can is wild.

Re: Muddy York Brewing
The original Stouffville site would have been awesome. Right in the community, historic (old) building, easy to walk, right on the Main st "drag", near other retail, restaurants, etc. This new site is bland, industrial, relatively far from where people live ... but I guess the rent (or ow...
