Yeah, a couple days with my parents in Cambridge before heading off to Halifax for a week. Unfortunately I'll be studying and not doing much drinking.

After my exam on Tuesday, I plan to hit the Hart & Thistle, then do a walking 'tour' on wednesday. 8)

Now for my one gripe: we have practically every beer now from GRB which is fantastic, seeing as how a few years ago it was a big deal to get Russian Gun in as a seasonal, but can we please please please get the Mill Race Mild into the LCBO already?

Rob? Bob? I know the BO is going a little APA crazy right now, which is fine, but this truly is my favourite GRB beer, and fresh it's beautiful - one of the most overlooked beers in this province, IMHO. Anything you guys can do to get it into the stores?

I love visiting the brewery, but it sucks having to buy six months of MRM the two times a year I get there.
its been submitted to the LCBO multiple times
Silly LickBO, don't they know it's awesome?

I've been hoping that the Mild and the Kolsch eventually make it to the LCBO.

They didn't have any at the brewery, so I picked up a bottle at the LCBO.

Nice hopping, but I thought it was a bit odd... there was a bit of sulfur in the flavour, more-so than their lagers.

Steam / California Common yeast perhaps? It wasn't really vegetal-like, so I doubt it was DMS, but I'm not that good at discerning those flavours.
