Maybe this quote from the Potsdam IGA facebook page will entice you: "For those that are waiting... We have the Dogfish Head 120 hooked up to a draft gun in our kegerator. We have been filling purged 16oz growlers and will continue until its gone. We have been having many requests for growlers ...

Potsdam is probably your best bet.

There's also some place called Bark's Beer Cave in PLattsburg if you find yourself over there.

I picked up tickets at the Arrow and Loon on Monday and saw they had the 613 on tap if anyone is itchin' to try it before Sunday. Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a hurry and didn't have time to try it.

Seems like a good theory :-) I think there was a thread a long ways back about the brewing industry in Toronto and how it used to employ aot of folk in the Cabbagetown area.

There's a newish beer store on Saint Laurent near Rachel. A respectable selection of Quebec micros. Closer to downtown than many other places, I believe.

Thanks for all the BC tips. I made it to the Alibi Room and St. Augustine's in Vancouver. Both places were great in their own way - very different atmospheres. Didn't make it to Brewery Creek, but I went bottle shopping at Firefly in Maple Ridge. It had a nice walk-in beer room and friendly staff. I...

Holy smokes! I'm sold. Henceforth, all visits with family and friends in B.C. shall be held at the Alibi! :D I should have mentioned, suggestions for the interior are also welcome.

Super. Thanks for the links. I haven't been to Vancouver in a long time, and it seems like a lot has changed. It looks like a trip to Vancouver just isn't complete with a visit to Alibi...so it's on the top of the list. I have no choice but to pass through Surrey on Sunday, so I thought Central City...
