LCBO Founders Brewery Feature
Peensteen is not worthy!
Stone is not a waste of LCBO space as I have come to understand the concept. Can we trade Rogue for Stone? Rogue are OK, but they have some real misfires and are expensive and make beer with bacon grease that is very upsetting for lister, and when lister gets upset, people mysteriously disappear...

Rogue has 3 or 4 beers that are good (in their entire portfolio) and the rest range from terrible to average.Belgian wrote:Peensteen is not worthy!

Stone's entire portfolio (more or less) ranges from above average to excellent.
I don't think there is any comparison and I am with you that I would happily trade Rogue for Stone
Just you remember that!Belgian wrote:Can we trade Rogue for Stone? Rogue are OK, but they have some real misfires and are expensive and make beer with bacon grease that is very upsetting for lister, and when lister gets upset, people mysteriously disappear...
Actually I wasn't the one boycotting Rogue for the bacon doughnut beer. I'm all for weird beers.
And I wouldn't mind seeing Stone here. Not at the expense of Rogue though. I still loves me some Hazelnut Brown...
lister
In my opinion, backwoods tastes more like an old ale or a barleywine than a scotch ale. Dirty bastard tastes like a scotch ale..

How does the Dirty Bastard rate, in your opinion? Worth getting a sixer? It's slightly lower octane, so I thought it would make a good after-work brew.
i almost feel like Rogue's listed because someone at the LCBO read about them a decade ago and still thinks they're the hot shit of the beer world...not realizing that they're a bottom tier west coast brewery.ErkLR wrote:Yes, please. The only thing I've found exceptional about Rogue so far is their prices.Belgian wrote:Can we trade Rogue for Stone? Rogue are OK, but they have some real misfires
probably the same person who brings in that Kelpie gift pack every fucking christmas

That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

Maybe we can read some good into the Pale Ale, Dirty Bastard, and the Porter not being discontinued? Wouldn't it be nice if they became permanent listings?spinrsx wrote:you will be missed
