So is it just my browser, or are there no events listed under the part that says "STONE BREWING EVENTS:"?

It's not just you. There used to be some stuff there. To be honest, none of it sounded that exciting. Mostly just places that would have their stuff on tap. Plus a meet the brewers thing at Volo, I think it was, if that's your sort of thing.

Yeah, went poof! I think there were people from Stone at each event. Bar Hop was the Friday. Guess we'll see what, if any, changes are in store.

You have to wonder if Stone announcing these dates and places kind of took the wind out of Horizon Beers sail? I suspect that Stone removed this from their website at the request of somebody or some agency....

Welcome to the Ontario reality of keg importing. Send an email to the LCBO asking them to loosen their regulations so kegs can more freely enter the market.

It's not so much the mere two beers, it's that Stone are really here and this is a $%#@ YOU to the exclusive importers.

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world." It's time we slowly leveraged the exclusive access to our draught market out of the tight grasp of those who really don't (de)serve it. Creating public demand can't hurt this.

Enjoy By's not even that good IMO. I'd take most Stone over that one.

Horizon tweeted that one of the guys couldn't make it to Ottawa for the Brothers Beer Bistro event. Not great luck they're having with beer bistros.

The Winking Judge's Meet the Brewer night was fun, even though the brewer wasn't there! Talked to the rep, who was providing samples to a good sized crowd.

Both Arrogant Bastard and Stone have been on tap at the WJ for some time.
