Re: LCBO Online Exclusives

I've always thought these returns would going to come back and kick people in the nads. I get that it was a logical response to a bad system, but still. I assume this drain pour thing is in response to the cases where people returned liquor with water in the bottles or poison or whatever it was. If ...

Re: Craft Brewers Conference 2015 - Portland, Oregon

So I'll be in DC the same week as the Craft Brewers Conference. Anyone who has been to the conference... comments on how good/bad the situation will be for a non-industry guy like me at any of the big DC beer venues that week? In other words, will a place like Churchkey end up closed to the public o...

So, I'll be in DC again in mid-April, during the week of the Craft Brewers conference.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

12oz bottles of KBS When it's big bottles it's usually around 3500 bottles and thats on the high end Awesome, thanks. In terms of quantities though, what does 9000 bottles look like for a release? How does it compare to say, the Great Lakes Tank 10s, or something else? That seems huge to me, but I ...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

9000 big bottles just seems to be massive to me, no? I know KBS gets decent release in the US, but 9000 big bottles in one jurisdiction? Doesn't that seem huge?

How man bottles of things like Boulevard Quad, or Kentucky Bastard did the LCBO put out for sale?

I rarely make it to closing time now so no comment here on that! ;-) My personal faves around town...

Re: Ottawa and area help

I'm not a cheese geek. In gatineau there are a few Trappe à Fromage spots around Gatineau. They also used to have a small selection of craft beer. There's one not far from Broue Haha. Depends on what kind of night out with food you are looking for. Pub? Brasseurs du Temps, Gainsboug and if you are m...
