Just thought I'd toss that strategy out there for you... Good luck!
Thanks for the advice, Adrenaline. I am fortunate to have friends and family in the GTA who sometimes oblige my requests for beer.

All winter long Sudbury received far fewer seasonals than other comparatively sized cities. Now with the Spring releases making their way into most cities, I cannot get over how barren Sudbury really is. Combining their 3 stores, we have no Spring releases.

Me three, this is a much welcome addition to the city's beer scene. Had a pint of Sam Adams Imperial Pilsner, I think the Sam Adams tap is going to change with their different seasonal brews. They've had 4 dollar Flying Money pints (Smashbomb included) as well.

We put a keg on at The Townehouse... it went in a couple days... I'm driving this week to buy more.
You'll have that keg tapped this Friday when I'm down at the Townehouse? Can't wait to try it.

Schneider Aventinus - outstanding yeast and fruit aroma and taste. banana and chocolate - yum.
Tripel Karmeliet - the three grain concoction kind of threw my stomach off, didn't like this.

Gouden Carolus Classic.

I'd have to agree with sprague11, I have lived here for two years and think the Buddha is as good as it gets here. The food is just average, I would stick to sandwiches like the falafel. I've eaten some bad cardboard pizza there.

24 St. Bernardus in of all places, Sudbury, my hometown.

Imagine my surprise after checking drinkvine to find a case of St. Bernie at my next door LCBO. It couldn't be, there must be a mistake. Yep, it's "put aside" for someone. I got in a little bit of an argument over the phone with the clerk about how cruel it is to post product on their inve...
