You should try it fresh from the source sometime, it's just heaven. You can also do a nice little brewery tour - Phillips, Hoyne, Vancover Island Brewing, and Moon Under Water are all within walking distance of Driftwood's brewery in Victoria.

Agreed. I was also a huge fan of the Sacch Trois IIPA.

Picked up a couple of the double dry hopped monogamy with 'hop hash', can't wait to try it.

Yeah, it's a great price. You can get Cascade easily enough in BC and Alberta but you're typically paying $40-50 a bottle.

So apparently the LCBO can't / won't just sell any beers from online orders that are returned, they just pour them out. I ordered a case of Evil Twin Don No to split amongst friends, but we didn't want the entire thing so I planned on returning 4 of the bottles. I picked them up at the LCBO, told th...

are the online only evil twin beers all gone? I can't find any of them on the LCBO website There's a new one in stock. Evil Twin Don No which is a "vegan-style Berliner Weiss ale with mango and pineapple added." No idea what they mean by 'vegan-style' but I ordered a case to split with fr...

Likely from $60-$80 a bottle. I love Cascade but I was already hurting when I paid $45 a bottle last time.

I also asked about the possibility of "back in stock" notifications. you make a great point re: back in stock notifications, this is something we intend to do in the future for sure. Though I won't hold my breath and will likely just whip up some script to constantly check the pages for ch...

Great Lakes is releasing Solstice Imperial Stout again today. Bellwoods released Ghost Orchid, a pale ale. They also said: Coming down the pipeline we've got 5 hits from the past -- 3 of them are barrel-aged, 2 contain cherries, and 2 are imperial stouts. All coming before the end of the year. It s...

Actually I was at Indie ale house last week and ended up leaving without buying anything because they wanted $18 - $20 for a 750ml bottle for the ones that looked interesting to me. On top of that, they couldn't even give me a sample of most of them. Yeah, I got the Sunkicked Orange Wit when it cam...

I had one of the Raspberry 3 Minutes to Midnight the other night and it was nice and smooth. I also had some Donkey Venom (2014 / batch #2) and Barn Owl #3. Both were also drinking quite well, the Donkey Venom was less sour / funky and more mellow and the Barn Owl was still nice and crisp with lots ...

Agreed re: Outliers. I enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as BOYD, and it was a whopping $13 for an 8oz pour. I had stopped by in the middle of a pub crawl, if I wasn't already liquored up I probably wouldn't have paid that (or would have split it with a friend).

I enjoyed a number of their Greener Futures beers, but even then towards the end of the program there were many that I didn't really enjoy.

Oh, definitely. I've been to the brewery and brought bottles back with me and the cheapest one at the time was $25 USD. Bottles from other places like Calgary or Vancouver that I've bought ranged from $35 to $45 CAD. I can only imagine what the LCBO's minimum pricing and markup will do to that.

Please tell me it's true.
