Wow. Just picked-up a 6 of this at the LC in Kingston. What a great beer. Awesome packaging. Even better smell and flavour. Definetly need more quality Canadian offerings like this at the LC. I will be pitching this beer to all my friends....many of whom are regular Hoptical drinkers.
Killer job Peter. Hope to see the Smash Bomb in the LC in the future.
A groundbreaker in the Ontario market. Peter is showing the way for all other brewers in this province. I will be buying a case of this for the holidays. Great work Flying Monkeys!

Couldn't agree more. I had this on tap at Volo on Friday night and bought 2 6 packs on my way back to Missisauga on Saturday morning. This beer is excellent!
Not to sound like a broken record, too lazy to browse through all the comments on here, but is there an indication as to whether or not we can expect Smash bomb to hit shelves soon? I had some like week, simply amazing, incredibly drinkable for an IPA; I loved it.
I'll definitely be picking up some of the Netherworld as well.

I believe that Peter from FM recently stated that he hopes it makes it to the LCBO for February.

I like it!
It's on tap at the Winking Judge as well. Went there for an afternoon pint with my girlfriend. Very tasty stuff, but apparently that particular tap was giving the bartender some trouble and it took a while for it to be poured. I noticed the same problem occurred when I ordered a pint of Smash Bomb there the other week. Not sure if that's a crazy coincidence or something about FM kegs. Either way both were very enjoyable.
I'll have to head out to Dundas in hopes to grab a pack.

I think it must have something to do with their serving system, because I was there one night and it seemed like every beer I ordered came out mostly foam. Al had to stand there and keep knifing foam off the top of the glass before topping it up again.
So I don't think the issue is isolated to FM offerings. And I also found out last night that they won't have any more SmashBomb for at least a month. I guess Peter is too busy filling LCBO Netherworld orders.
