I had a bottle of DeuS (Brut Des Flandres). Seemed appropriate.

I got two bottles of the Nickelbrook cuvee today at Avenue and Lawrence. Looking forward to trying one soon and putting one in the cellar.

The plan for future stores is to have completely separate empty and full goods sections. The same building but the front part will be separated so you'd have to go outside to get from one to the other. They also have plans to build empty depots that strictly take returns.

The Nostradamus is great really enjoyed that one. Cool label too. It's nice to get some more Belgians in smaller bottle formats.

I don't think we'll see the likes of this again. All these other beers mentioned seem very special and sought after to us beer folk but even with some media backing the general populace will be pretty ambivalent methinks. None of the other beers mentioned have quite the same romance to them that wes...

It's hard to narrow down to just one experience. I've had so many great beer moments and all were special in there own way. That being said... The most fun was probably having a Franziskaner Hefe-Weiss some drunk German guy had given me at 5 in the morning while drinking with my friends some Germans...

Glen Breton 17 year old cask strength aged in ice wine barrels, if you can find it is wonderful. I would also suggest Scapa 16 and Lagavulin 16.

It is nice to see Cameron's branching out. For the longest time I've just relegated them to the back burners of Ontario craft.

Showed up at Weston around 950 today and got ticket number 49. I must say it was handled quite well by the lcbo staff. Everything went smoothly. It was sad to see some people in line who were obvious profiteers. One fellow was even flagging down construction workers and the like just going for their...
