Re: Bellwoods Brewery

I haven't had the opportunity to try Lamda yet and am hoping to change that following the release later this month. For those who have had it, just curious how dominant are the effects of the brett? I tried Indie Alehouse's (Belgian dark strong w/ brett) at Bar Hop's greatest hits event a couple of ...

Re: Bellwoods Brewery

And purportedly 2-4 special releases before year's end. Surely Bring Out Your Dead (my personal favourite from Bellwoods) is among them.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Had this last night. I was expecting more bourbon. It's a good beer but not enough barrel presence for me. Can anyone do an in-depth tasting of the Six Boroughs Bourbon Barrel-Aged Rye Porter? Initially when I heard about this beer I thought it was going to be just another Ontario barrel aged/over ...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Yes, this one was on my firm's dime. I thought about getting a pour of Xyauyu but decided to show some restraint! It was nice to experiment a little with that menu without feeling constrained by the usual cost/benefit analysis and I can honestly say that the Pannepot Grand Riserva was probably wort...

Re: Bar Hop 2 (Peter St)

Excited to check this place out soon! If the tap line up is different from their original location, is there any indication of if/where they will post details? Their twitter and Facebook pages don't really distinguish between the two locations and I can only assume that the current lists relate to t...

Re: New Limberg Brewing Company

Can't say that I've tried (or even heard of) New Limburg, but the Belgian focus was enough for me to look them up. Worth noting that their name is spelled with a "u" and so their website is http://newlimburg.com/ Would be interested to hear from anyone who's tried their beers - the blond s...

Re: Who makes a good porter?

+1 for the Indie Breakfast Porter, though I appreciate that it may not be the most convenient location depending on where you're coming from.
