for the ottawa people, marche omni now carries hopfenstark and le castor beers. They had at least 4 varieties of each.

I guess that the reports of Omni's demise were greatly exaggerated. I'm currently on parental leave so I haven't been by there in a month. Glad to see there is still good beer there even if the "beer guy" owner was bought out.

THREE days finishing the He'Brew JewBellation Sweet 16, it is a fantastic strong beer with a lot of value packed in all those 16 malts + 16 hops. Really nice brew, he is.

Witchshark bottle. Tasty, but much better on tap.

Agreed. Bitterness is overbearing in bottles.

And the flavour from the hops is very muted...

At The Only last night:

Aporkalypse Now
Bogfather
Black Oak Redeem Me - this did not work for me. Tasted like a watery pint of tea.
Long, Dark Voyage to Uranus

Despite being an east ender I don't get to The Only nearly enough. It has such a great vibe and the people working were the nicest. Broke my heart to leave.

Not to mention a killer draught list. I'm always impressed with the style and weight variation, they usually have a few rarities I haven't heard of, and the prices are fair ($13 tax in for a 20oz pint and generous glass of vino). I also like how they post the ABVs on the tap handles. Pair that with some Greek takeout and you've got one of the best pub experiences in T.O.
