Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Even IF what you say about production levels leading to lower costs is true, it does NOT necessarily translate to lower retail prices. By all accounts, Bellwoods is still selling everything they can produce (before the hoppy bears go stale) at $4.50 each, why in the world would they lower that pric...

Re: Fullers imperial IPA

Glad I'm not the only one. I actually drank the one bottle over two days, using a champagne stopper to preserve the CO2... still quite something, it's very stunning in as you say a British way, it's a powerful beer and one it's worth buying again and cellaring some to develop for a few to several y...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

it’s getting harder and harder to find these West Coast leaning beauties(that made me fall in love with IPA’S) in a sea of haze-on haze- on haze. Isn’t this the truth! I think Lone Pine is the only thing I can find that’s WC and fresh. Octopus Wants to Fight was in that wheelhouse too, but it’s bee...

Re: Ontario Craft Beer, Imports and Pumpkin Beers at the LCBO (Fall 2019)

I don't think so -- it has to be brewed on-site for them to sell it directly out of their facility. So how do we explain taprooms selling beer from other breweries. recent example: Rouge River had a beer from Barncat current example: https://www.rougeriverbrewingcompany.com/bottleshop-tap-list scro...

Re: Omnipollo beers

Omnipollo Nebuchadnezzar from Brunswick Bierworks is tasting mighty fine. Thanks for the tip! Picked some up today for the start of the NFL season. It is, indeed, tasting great. While you were there, did you also happen to try, or purchase, any "Hazy Mariner" NEIPA? It is similarly tasty,...
