I popped open a Cantillon Iris on Saturday and really enjoyed it, although of the few Cantillon's I've had so far the gueuze is still my favourite. Its a real wine drinker's beer.

EDIT: They also have a couple Rodenbach beers that I seem to read about quite a bit. If you notice any other sours/Flanders ales worth trying on that list then please let me know; it's a style I have lots to learn about.

Wow I didn't know this place existed! I know what I'm doing tonight.

Had a couple Brooklyn Lagers last night at Comrade, across from Opera House. Actually not a bad beer list.

Wychwood Fiddlers Elbow. What a wonderfuly tastey, balanced and refreshing beer! I haven't had it in a couple of years, and had forgotten how good it was. Nice way to spend a sunny afternoon.

Great Lakes Pumpkin. I really enjoy this beer.. refreshing, plenty of flavour while not being over the top. That said I find the second half a bit harder to get down. The flavours start to be a bit much. I know Great Lakes favours the 650ml bottles for me 350ml would be perfect.

That said, if my biggest complaint about a well made local seasonal is the size of the bottle it comes in - the problem is me!

re: Great Lakes Pumpkin - I love the bottles...perfect size
I wish it was on tap somewhere in the London area (would be an excuse to get a babysitter!) haha

I wish I realized the Scotch Irish Plain Porter was there. I picked up the GLB Pumpkin Ale at the SLM LCBO, but I didn't look around closely enough apparently. I'm assuming it was with the other Scotch Irish products and I thought it was just the usual Session Ale & Bitter Brown. Oh well, enjoying the Pumpkin Ale now.

The body is pretty watery on it these days, and its a mere shadow of what it used to be.
