Hi Cass,
Just a bit of shameless self promotion, but I would like to mention that Scotch Irish Brewing Co.'s Black Irish Plain Porter is back in production for the fall/winter season. For those readers who attended the Toronto Festival of Beer, you may have tasted Black Irish. It was an overwhelming success at our booth.
I am looking for a few good bars in Toronto to take this draught. I will let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Perry Mason

As much as I appreciate your trying to distribute your porter to different pubs in Toronto area I will remind you there are some of us that live too far from downtown Toronto and would appreciate availability at least in one major LCBO store that we can easily access.

Hi Manul,
I am not deliberately ignoring the non-Downtown area. We are a draught only operation, and due to the prohibitive costs of bottling, we probably will remain this way for some time to come. If there are any good prospects for draught in your neck of the woods, let me know. I'll try to get them in.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
