Cheetah is just a brand from Cool, so I don't think it is an additional brewery.

I didn't realize that. Seems as queer as a three dollar bill.

There are a few I haven't tried, especially after seeing some of these lists. I'd really like to try Highlander especially. Drinkvine says the closest is only 150km away. That's about 50km closer than last time I checked!

I'm supposed to be visiting a friend down in St. Catherines within the next week or two so I'm hoping to knock the Merchant Ale House off the list. I see from a recent review they have a dark mild, which is a style that has been growing on me. Speaking of which, I still haven't tried Cheshire Valley either. I'd really like to try their mild after hearing a some good things about it.

That may be my review, unless someone else has reviewed their beers recently. I'd for sure suggest trying it if you like the style. Merchant Ale House was a pretty fun place too.

I was at the CEEPS 25 years ago (or so I've been told)
After this long, do I get my "CEEPs virginity" back and consider myself never having been there? Just askin'.

In that I worked there as a teenager, drank there and achieved an amazing list of 'firsts' there, it was great in later years to attend an American Society of Brewing Chemists meeting there. It was disturbing how emotional I got when I changed my sons diaper on the bar. The circle of life at the Ceeps.

"need" is a strong word :) Will definitely check it out if I am ever in London but I don't think I will be making a special trip any time soon!
