I was talking to ID Agency yesterday and they told me that Thornbridge Jaipur IPA is in the LCBO warehouse and will be released to stores next week. Can't wait to get it. Will be picking up a Tree Double Hophead IPA tomorrow.

Hey Bartoweler's how about meeting at the Crooked Cue this Saturday afternoon at 3 or 4 pm. If that's not good I could be there Friday night or Sunday afternoon. Let me know what's good for everyone.

I also think Spirt Tree Pub Cider is excellent. Need to get up to Caledon soon because I've finished the 12 botles I bought when I was there last fall. Wish I could get it at the LCBO.

The agent is ID Agency 416-838-8440 and the lady that answered the phone said that Jaipur is in the LCBO's warehouse in London and is still waiting for lab testing. Good to know that this ale is ...

Cass, Why is the Meadowvale LCBO the only LCBO in Mississauga that is selling the Garrison beers? There are two LCBO's in southern Mississauga that sell craft beer: Elmcreek and Dundas and Southdown and Royal Windsor ( Clarkson). I try to buy my beer at these two LCBO's to encourage them to continue...

Crooked Cue Port Credit

Myself and a couple of friends went to the Crooked Cue tonight and found out that they will be changing 4 to 5 taps over to craft beer in early Feburary.

I'll be going on Saturday. I'll be riding the Dog ( Greyhound). Coming back that night because I want to go to the Victory Cask fest. Two days of drinking cask ale. The only way it could be better is if I was in England.

Peter,
Is the SmashBomb Atomic IPA in a open 6 pack? I would like to try one bottle to see if it's as hoppy as it is on draught. If it is I will buy more.

Founders Centennial IPA. Still tastes pretty good even though I bought this beer in October in Dearborn Michigan.

I'm going to have a Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA after I finish the Founders.
