Re: Small Pony Barrel Works

A little bit of both. I find those 50/50 shirts cling to you and are often cut a little tighter.

Re: Small Pony Barrel Works

I got my first package of club beers, plus some extras I ordered, yesterday. Packing is great, shipping is reasonable. The online ordering process to have club bottles mailed is straightforward. My only small gripe is as an older guy with a little bit of extra weight in the usual areas, I am a littl...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Allagash Map 40. One of the nicest aromas I have ever experienced in a beer. Allagash can do wrong.

Ballast Point High West Victory at Sea. Another great one. Bonus points for the 12 ounce bottle.

ISO Motley Cru Set 2018

I am looking to try to get another Motley Cru set from the 2018 release a couple weeks back. I have some US Stouts and Porters and BA stouts from Cycle, Hill Farmstead, Funky Buddha, Allagash, some stuff from Auval, and other things to offer in exchange. If you have an extra set you would like to tr...

Re: Godspeed Brewery

I've been sampling some Godspeed cans over the past month or so and I'm really impressed. The DDC collab beer is superb. I can't believe it is still sitting in the fridge. I really liked the Dortmunder. I've got a couple of the smoked beers out now in my fridge. Other than the Kolsch (a style I just...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Over the past week or so: Maybee Old Growth ESB (Would drink this all the time if available locally. One of the best Canadian made ESBs I have had in a long time). Trailway Mood Ring (Really enjoy almost everything hoppy these guys brew) Grimm Passion Fruit Pop! (Love this series of beers) Left Fiel...

Re: Cask Days 2017

I was cleaning out the bag I had with me for cask Days (don’t judge; I have twin toddlers) and came across a bunch of tokens I didn’t end up using. To the regulars: do they use the same wooden drink tokens every year? Or, should I throw them on the fire?

Cheers.

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Ransack The Universe, which has become my go to beer recently. Unfortunately, it's my last for a while, as I was just diagnosed with IBS. My gastro specialist wants me on something called a FODMAP diet for at least a month, which apparently frowns on the consumption of beer. Surely this is the way ...

Re: Small Pony Barrel Works

According to their Instagram feed, the first release is being bottled this week. Looks interesting.

Looks like memberships are still available too.

Re: Rorschach Brewing

Has anyone here tried their flavoured stouts currently available in the bottle shop? Looks like 4 versions of Malevolent Benevolence. I'm finding reviews hard to come by. Also, has anyone used their delivery service in the city? Their location and hours make visiting very difficult for me at the mom...

Re: Small Pony Barrel Works

Ya. I took the plunge only having had a sample of the Jam Hands. I thought it was very good. Friends in Ottawa have had more and give them top marks. The various sites seem to show pretty uniformly good reviews. I am assuming shipping for the eight bottles will be in the $40 range or so. I kinda wis...
