I already largely do, this one however caught my eye.
As for me not reading his posts, considering he posts in practically every thread on the forum that would be kind of difficult to do don't you think?
No, not at all.
Also, I never said I didn't want to read his posts nor did I say I had any problems with Gary, all I said is it would be nice if I could read at least a few threads without running into "I mixed 1/4 Steamwhistle with 2/4 Hoogarden and 1/4 Guinness" all the time, it's getting old. So I suggested he start his own thread where he can post his concoctions to his heart's content, I can avoid that thread and then everybody is happy.
That's not the tone of the posting.

Enh, whatever. :-?

I agree if we don't abide with this or that person's posts we CAN skip on reading them rather than presume to tell others what to do.

So no offense if, from this point on I ignore anyone's posts entirely - it's nothing personal against you, I just don't have the time for it. So all the best and see you around Toronto.

Uh ... right. And now a post that's back on topic...

I stopped into the Pickering Brock Road LCBO on Hallowe'en in the hopes of scoring another bottle or two (I'd shared what I still had a few days before -- I should note everyone I introduced it to thought it was great). I asked the store's beer guy about it, and he said it was sold out pretty much everywhere in the area.

Oh well. I'm still pining for another bottle (the best compliment I can give), but I guess I'll have to wait until next year. :-?

I agree talbot, I saw the GL Pumpkin bombers in Belleville and wish I had grabbed all they had.

I hope it is 'seasonal fall' the same way Hefe's are 'seasonal summer' - something to enjoy for a few months.

I stopped by the brewery on Thursday and they still had some bottles in the fridge. I grabbed 3 pumpkin ales, and 3 winter ales. I'd call though before making the trip, because there's a chance they may all be gone. I think I might drink one tonight while I can still say its fall.

It was nice to be able to buy the winter ale without purchasing it as part of the gift pack. I believe the price was in the $7-8 range for a 750ml bottle.
