Re: LCBO Summer Craft Beer Release 2017

Most stores won't sell you a single of anything pulled out of a pack.

However, the LCBO at Victoria Park and Ellesmere is very permissive with singles. From my experience everyone there knows the single bottle code.

Re: Cider

I don't drink too much cider but I noticed a new dry hopped cider (Coffin Ridge Forbidden Hopped Cider) at the LCBO and enjoyed it very much. Also enjoyed Pommies Farmhouse, Shiny Apple (with Pinot Noir) and picked up Le Pere Jules Brut, but haven't opened it yet. Anyone have any cider recommendatio...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

I went by Hafis today at about 2:15 for Motley Cru and there was a line with like 7-8 people out the door. I heard it was MUCH longer at noon. It was a little surprising because I usually find Hafis quite dead, even for special releases. I love this brewery but the line was moving painfully slow, I ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Nice sleuthing. Not a bad selection and I think the price is fair if you conservatively estimate the big bottles at $8 each and $4 for the little ones that would be $40. If only I was a dad!

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Can anyone reveal what's in the Ontario Craft Beer Mystery Box?

http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/product/ontari ... ack/523233

Googling the skus reveals the first two are Left Field Brewery Pale Ale and BTP Imperial Super Guy.

Re: Thoughts on the Wicked Weed news?

I've tried some Wicked Weed beer, definitely above average both in terms of creativity and end product. I just got my hands on bottles of Medora and Black Angel. While it's not an exact comparison, I often think of Bellwoods at the WW of Ontario. WW has been getting some backlash from other brewers ...

Re: Crossroads (Weston & 401) clearance section

I've enjoyed about 6 each of the Sigma and Phi (while it lasted), slow gushers. I'm pretty sure they are all from the same batch, BB Jan 2019, originally ordered by the late Peter of Esprit.
