I think I keep buying this shit because I'm really just hoping that somewhere along the line, these breweries have changed up their game and bettered their beers.

I do the same. You have to support local, at least to some extent. We've seen great strides from some over the past year or so. Most of them will get better. That being said, I am close to being done with Nickel Brook. I support all the locals and try new releases. The only Ontario brewery I have given up on is Beau's.liamt07 wrote:I think I keep buying this shit because I'm really just hoping that somewhere along the line, these breweries have changed up their game and bettered their beers.

I seriously wonder what goes through their heads when they brew and release these products that fail meet any kind of standard. Do they have a choice? Are they locked into a PO from the LCBO? Do they have the option to dump and rebrew? Is it the final product what they intended? Do they actually think it tastes good enough to warrant purchasing it over something like Sofie or Dupont (given a saison example)?TheSevenDuffs wrote:I do the same.

I think we will find the answers to all of these questions right after we solve the mystery of JFK's murder.ChrisK wrote: I seriously wonder what goes through their heads when they brew and release these products that fail meet any kind of standard.
