Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!
Clutch (APA - a very solid one in my opinion) will be coming to the LCBO. Sounds like they are still early in the process so not sure when it will be listed. Also - they will be releasing a Biere de Garde (brown) in January - I know Sawdust brewed one last year (I think), otherwise can't think of too many that have been brewed in Ontario (I'm sure people here can list off more).

Oast House has as well, but yes it is an underrepresented style.
Redline is hosting a 'Dark Beer' event on April 23rd. There will be beers from Sawdust City, Flying Monkeys, Indie Alehouse, Beer Lab London, Brimstone, and Redline. All the brewers will be hanging out (maybe except for 1) and chatting about the beer they brought.
Information about each beer will be coming in the next few weeks.
Just a heads up - I now work at Redline (just started a few weeks ago). I hope it's cool that I posted this here.

I frequently am up in Barrie due to family there and have been pretty happy with what Redline has been putting out. Leather Interior has been my standout favourite so far but everything else has been tasty. I try to make a visit to the brewpub as often as I can when I'm up there.
I'm being yanked up there soon and now may make it the 23rd. Will it be a ticketed event or just show up? Will the beers be one-offs or not each brewery's usual suspects?
As for the working at a brewery and posting here, I think that's great. I think though a tagline disclaimer about that would be best.
