Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Flying Dog Gonzo Imperial Porter

Back in and showing stock. Definitely buying more this time.

I'm almost sure it was more than $3.80 a bottle last time? Didn't it come in a 6 pack?

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Liefmans goudenband Not really a new arrival, but a new price? $32.00 a bottle $384.00 a case 14% ABV. I'm confused is this the Flemish sour brown ale we have had before or a higher octane version or a LCBO mistake? https://www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/lcbo/belgian/liefmans-goudenband-...

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread

LCBO is screening people with questions before they enter. do you have sniffles? do you have diarrhea? sick to your stomach? Really going to back the lines up now, if you haven't bought already good luck! Did you mean a lineup to get in, or to check out? Haven't seen a line-up to get in since the s...

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread

Let me guess was the LCBO on the Mountain? If it was I can guess which store! TBS wasn't asking questions Monday but that probably changed, Walmart was. Main St. Turn-around. this was on Tuesday. Really, I was going to say Upper James and Fennel. I was there a week or so ago, walked in no line to g...

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread

I was in a LCBO store today which I don't usually go into and haven't been in since this whole Covid-19 stuff started. I felt quite safe with the whole distancing thing but the way the store was laid out and roped off I pretty well needed my GPS to get through the store. If you weren't paying attent...

"Honey, why are the steaks burnt and the pork sausage still cold in the middle?" :) Honey, those are perfect grill marks! But why are they on your face? By CA #14, I assume you mean Collective Arts IPA #14. If so, good buy. It's really good. Haha, I was trained by my father-in-law in the ...

Re: Spending/Drinking More or Less on Beer during Pandemic?

I would say spending a little more and consuming somewhat more, also staying away from the higher priced stuff. In my case I think the long, hot dry summer with numerous barbecues is the reason. I just cant barbecue without a beer in my hand. A couple cooking and supper and that might be it for the ...

Re: 2020 Autumn Ontario Craft Beers, Imports & Pumpkin Beers at the LCBO

I'm pretty sure it's just Jai Alai brewed with white oak spirals. I don't think it's aged or anything. According to their website, it's a seasonal that they stopped making in June. Maybe they made a special batch for us? Dare to dream, Craig. Haha, I like you, you make me laugh! Canned 05/18/20. It...
