Well I'm in the lottery for the Utopias now. Whole thing took about 2 minutes on the phone, no waiting on hold.

Clever. Whatever you do, do not drink anything they send! They are not suitable for consumption! The Sale of Yeast. Beerinvest.eu does promote beers on its shop, but sells the yeast that is available for every beer presently listed on the webshop. You pay for the bottle and the yeast, not the carri...

I tried this for the first time last week. I was waiting for a train from Long Island into the city and there wasn't anything interesting in the corner store. It really wasn't bad. Better than most macros, but still pretty flavourless overall. I still can't get over that it is legal to drink on the ...

I just tried an order from the Struise Yeast Store... they seem to think they can get into Canada. We'll see I guess. After all, it is just "yeast" they are selling.

I actually assumed after I wasn't able to get to the brewery within a few weeks that it had all sold out. Until I saw this thread I had no idea that any was left!

Philly is the closest city that it is available on tap. Other than that, I don't think it makes it outside of California/Oregon/Washingon State.

I had the Amsterdam Teichert Smoked Porter last night. It was possibly the best Amsterdam beer I've ever had. So good choice by them on the homebrew winner.

My mom told me yesterday that they are heading to Taps today and asked what I wanted. I'll have growlers of RIS and dubbel for when I get there later today. (yes, my parents are awesome) If the Chuck Norris is back on Monday or Tuesday of next week, I may get a growler of that too. I'm with dutchcan...

Does anyone know what is currently on tap and if they'll be open much this weekend (or immediately after)? I'll be in St Catharines from Friday-Tuesday and could make the trip. I'll probably end up calling before going, but wanted to know what I should look forward to.

I'm heading to NYC for New Years plus a couple days. This thread should be helpful!

Is Rattle 'n Hum worth it for the food (given all the other places to go in the city) or should I just go for beer?
