Bellwoods is making another batch of Warp & Weft (that's the tequila one) and Nickel Brook brewed Malevolent today, so expect to see both of those soon.

Barley Days just released Sacred Mule, a Czech pilsner with sparkling wine yeast used for fermentation.

That doesn't sound even remotely appealing...

the Old Yeller of Ontario breweries. waiting for someone to get the shotgun and put them out of their misery or, more likely, to buy them out and take over their facilities.

Dry hopped THRUST! IPA over the weekend. The biggest and most expensive hopping we've done at GLB! Should be good but don't tell the boss.

After having tried a selection of their beers, the former sounds more enticing.

Have anything else on the stout? Like is it an IS, or a milk stout or ?

Nice to have an inside track on this stuff.

it's a pretty basic 5% table stout. extremely drinkable, good stuff! $10/fill, too.

thanks squeaky, i'm happy to answer questions anytime. we've got some cool stuff coming up on the growler station this week (including a keg of lake effect!)
