I had the opposite scenario - a few weeks ago I picked up the last 4 pack of Founders, except there were 3 bottles. Took them to cash and they'd only sell it to me as a four pack. I argued for awhile, they looked for another one, but to no avail and as I was jonesing to try it, I took the 3 pack.

Yep, he sent me a rambling, vaguely threatening message on Facebook, also making fun of many of you for casting doubt on his many "projects." He also reads these comments, so hey "Parkdale Beer", why don't you set the record straight?

What a sh*tshow this is, haha...someone putting a lot of marketing effort into dubious projects. The 'personal' profile for them has 5000 friends...I'm assuming that is the maximum allowed on Facebook...because, really, what person would ever really have 5000 friends? https://www.facebook.com/Parkd...

So I had a little back and forth with the person behind the fictitious Parkdale Brewery the other day. He put more pictures of beer up on Facebook and somebody asked if they could actually try some. PB answered that "as of yet" they don't have their beer in stores and put some links to bog...

Could be, but that stretch of Brock is no picnic. It's hardcore, hence the police in the liquor store, and there's no parking on Brock unless it's further north. Lining up on that side walk means hanging out with Parkdale's finest!

When my buddy and I finished we went to the sample area and the nice woman who was pouring gave us the freshest pint I've ever had, naturally.

I too love the baseball theme and I can't honestly see what's so "safe" about this launch. It looks adventurous and welcome to me.

Oh for sure but some of my baseball buddies won't care what they drink, so they'll head to a default macro bar. If they can get that at the Moose and I can get something more to my taste, it's a beautiful thing.

Neustadt. I buy it quite often, and pair it with some peaty scotch mostly.
