And apparently I'm not the only person who's asked about the DDC stuff (Jan or Jimmay I'm looking at you...) No I wasn't counting on them getting it to us so I reserved some from the closest store in the 905...drove straight there, of course no-one knew anything about my PM on hold and it was a sma...

I do have a gripe with my batch of PM and am wondering if anyone else does? Whenever I open a bottle with my bottle openner, there is shards off glass left around the edge of the bottle openning. I can feel the grinding of glass while openning, and have to take a damp paper towel to remove the shard...

Had a few Peche Mortel tonight...you really don't get how good it truly is after just one...possibly the greatest beer to ever grace the LC shelves.

I look forward to trying it...the Great Lakes is the benchmark for Pumkin beer imvho. I do like most of em but none have the perfect balance of ale to pumkin like the GL...all the non-beer geeks I've introduced it to have loved it as well, a great gateway to craft beers.

The one day boycott is more of a statement than a boycott imho. Lets make it a significant period of time, like a year or something..."Ontario beer lovers fed up with state run monopoly, unite to boycott BS & LC for 2010" now that is a headline imvho. Unfortunately we could hurt the On...

I've read that alcohol is actually a horrible method of enducing sleep. Doesn't put you away for long enough and apparently most people tend to wake up within several hours, feeling like crap. That is what they say but contrary to my personal experience. A couple beers definately helps me to fall a...

Was just at a gallery opening, steamwhistle, steamwhistle, steamwhistle . really. Ahh I've heard of that one! So you are a 'beer snob.' (I bet you've heard of Chimay Rouge, which is French for 'Red' by the way.) I just had a DFH 90 minute, great stuff, and compared it with a Hop Devil and a DFH 60....

Wow that is one crooked cop buddy Frank has...15 million dollar fraud against Bombardier! Wonder how much he charged ole Franky boy to help him out?
