I think I've seen this beer on the menu of some bars/restaurants in Toronto, but I've always balked at paying the bar/restaurant premium, especially on a 750 mL bottle. I'll be sure to pick this one at the LCBO - I had pretty good experiences with Italian brewers attempting Belgian styles in Italy, though Birrificio Bruton was not among the brewers I tried. I did try their Bianca in Montreal a few years ago and it was a solid if unspectacular wit.spinrsx wrote:New

I was pretty disapointed by this IPA. Mostly just because it's another that seems to be along the lines of western Canadian IPAs. Too much of a syrupy-like sweetness. Like Fat Tug. That's what I get anyways.spinrsx wrote:Do we know if the ransack ipa is a regular listing?
Bingo! I couldn't put my finger on what it is about Fat Tug that puts me off a bit. I got the same effect with Ransack. Drinking a Robohop right now and I'd definitely hit this over Tug and Ransack.Blasphomet wrote:I was pretty disapointed by this IPA.

You know what I have in my cellar? Dust, I have dust in my cellar.
Tried ransack and honestly cant understand the love for it??? Agree to disagree I guess but so many better IPAs from Ontario Brewers imho
Everytime I learn something new I forget something old...like that time I learned to make wine and then forgot how to drive...

Robohop is an IIPA, I would take pretty much any IIPA over any IPA that I have tried. Personally I like Amsterdam Fracture, Nickel Brook Immodest or Muskoka's Twice as Mad Tom....havent been able to get my hands on Robohop as of yet!

Octopus wants to fight is hitting shelves. My wife just messaged me it's arrived at her store. Happy camper here

OWTF Doesn't seem to be listed on lcbo.com yet...
Already almost 3 week since initial release at the brewery. Hope LCBO can get this one out soon before they ruin another delicious IPA with age...

Fat chance of that, if it isn't even showing as listed on the LCBO site yet. Since GLB said they'll be making multiple deliveries over coming months to LCBO I'll take the leap and hope that means it will also be available fairly continuously at the GLB retail too.CoolB wrote:OWTF release date is April 1st.
It's not uncommon for the LCBO to release things before they list them.El Pinguino wrote:Fat chance of that, if it isn't even showing as listed on the LCBO site yet.
