Interesting to read the Best Bitter comparisons. For those of you who have visited Pepperwood's Bistro in Burlington in the past: You should recognize this beer ( as I recall ) as the Pepperwood's Dry-hopped Best Bitter. Paul Dickey, brewer of Hops and Robbers, was the brewmaster at Pepperwood's a f...

MacGregor's, the Rochester craft beer chain has opened a location in the Buffalo area.
It is in Amherst, at 4350 Maple Road ( at Sweet Home )
Just off the 290.

I was in Cleveland in the summer. Fathead's in North Olmsted, ( Lorain Rd ) near Hopkins Int'l Airport is a must-visit. Headhunter IPA is their top beer and is outstanding, with many more. Downtown, Superior & Prospect, near Progressive Field, are the Winking Lizard and right next door, City Tap...

The new Buffalo Wild Wings, on Winston Churchill, just south of the 401 is very close for you. They have a few craft taps- King Vienna Lager, Barking Squirrel, Steam Whistle, Sam Adams. I had a chat with a bartender and a manager and they mentioned that they have a few rotating taps for micros, alon...

Checked this out tonight. A bit bland looking on the inside, but a very nice craft selection, including a couple you don't see much of: St. Ambroise Pumpkin and Weihenstephan Dunkel. Thye have a 4 x 5oz craft sampler for $6.95, which I think is a great idea. I had very good service at the bar. The s...

Popped in here on Sunday, after seeing their name for Toronto Beer Week.
It's on the south side, at Logan.

Mad Tom, Spearhead, Tankhouse, Steamwhistle, Beau's, & more on tap.

Great pizza

Friendly service and crowd.

I am wondering about the price people are paying for this beer. The tulip glass provides a 14 oz serving, I am told. I had it at Bryden's in the tulip glass and am sure the price was somewhere around $7, tax incl. I had it last night at West 50, same glass, and it was $8.64 + taxes. I nearly hit the...

I received my notice in April, paid for the order on April 14, and requested that it be sent to my local store ( Meadowvale ) I have had private orders sent to that store before, and they have always arrived within 2 weeks.. I went to the store last week ( 6 weeks from payment ) and spoke to the CSR...

Where are you guys picking up mixed packs? I also picked up a Variety 12-pack of Samuel Adams Latitude 48 IPA. It contains 2 each of 6 different IPAs: 5 Single-hop: Hallertau, East Kent Goldings, Simcoe, Ahtanum, & Zeus 1 5-hop with all of the above. Should be good. The Sam Adams Variety 12-pac...

There are a fair number of quality Ontario craft brews, as well as a number of European brews. They do have various seasonals. Black Oak's Chocolate Cherry Stout is on right now and the bartender said they were expecting a few more. Here is a link to their menu. It is not completely up-to-date, as S...

For all West End Hopheads

Smashbomb is on regular rotation here, as is Sgt Major's.
Hoptical Illusion, too.

I like to go between 4:30 & 6:30, when appetizers are half price.
It's a nice crowd at that time, too.

I was at the Opening Night game, in the 500 Level. The beer selection is dreadful, don't get me wrong, but I was a bit shocked at what wasn't for sale. On draft; Bud & Bud Light In Tall Cans; Bud, Bud Light, Bud Light w Lime, Keiths, & Stella Artois Perhaps the selection is larger on the low...
