That's strange, i've had three so far this week and no problems with exploding cans. I grabbed mine from the chilled fridge section at the LCBO so they were fairly cold when I opened them. The nitrogen did a great job and produced an extremely fine creamy head that provided a beautiful blanket for the beer. Were yours cold when you opened them?velovampire wrote:And mine.

Nice stout, except for it exploding all over my kitchen counter

I dunno, I think it is pretty damn good, but gets better with time. I split a case with some guys last year. I even liked the original non-brett version that came out years ago.sprague11 wrote:I had the exact same observations with this one.andrewrg wrote:GI Matilda: not one of the best of the GI Belgians.

I had a year old bottle that I bought off the shelf it was fanatastic. Next time I picked up a 4 pack from 2012, and didnt enjoy it nearly as much. certainly one that needs abit of age on it.sprague11 wrote:I had the exact same observations with this one.andrewrg wrote:GI Matilda: not one of the best of the GI Belgians.

I bought a couple of Headstrong Pale Ales this week as they are on a "clearance sale" throughout the LCBO for $1.85. This is the first time in a couple of years I've had this beer but I remember it quite well. Either they've radically changed it for the worse or I just got two off cans. Both were drain pours.

they had there grand opening today. also had a tap pouring a pale ale, and doing growler fills. the pale ale was very nice. big hop flavor and aroma, and the bitterness was very mild. at 5% would make a great session beer.matt7215 wrote:is the brewery open?phat matt wrote:having an oast house saison right now. wonderful bottle conditioned ale. interesting yeast character and very spritzy. will be stopping by the brewery again soon.
