Have you ever tried contacting those breweries and asking them if they have any plans to expand into Ontario? I follow Phillips on Facebook, and it sounds like they keep themselves pretty busy supplying beer to BC. I grew up in Victoria and last time I was home I stopped in at the Phillips brewery and the place is pretty small. The beer I drank when I lived there was from the Vancouver Island Brewery, and while they make some awesome beer too I know for a fact that they have no in expanding far enough where I will ever see their beers in the LCBO.DaPan wrote: A bit disappointing that 35% of the list consists of UK brew and only one on the list represents Canada west of Ontario! Haven't we shown enough enthusiasm for the west coast offerings to get more of Cascadia at the LCBO? Phillips, Howe Sound, Tree, hello?
Point taken on Phillips, but we do know Tree and Mt. Begbie have shown a keen interest in penetrating the LCBO.Kel Varnsen wrote:Have you ever tried contacting those breweries and asking them if they have any plans to expand into Ontario?

Thanks, Ralphus. drinkvine is a great tool for tracking beer in Onterrible!Ralphus wrote:Good list!
I'm really glad to see the 1845 back. It was available the first season I got into beer and I loved it.
Greg, thanks for killing the off topic posts.
I'll get the drinkvine release up soon.
I'm starting to wonder if Trafalgar is having some problems as of late, as it seems downright strange that one of their sours is not a part of this release.saints_gambit wrote: I'm also a little surprised Trafalgar was left out of the release for the first time in recent memory.

Leprosy Lager? Dry-Hopped Dried Out Skeleton? Barfy Blech Brew? The possibilities are endless...much like death.Belgian wrote:saints_gambit wrote: I'm also a little surprised Trafalgar was left out of the release for the first time in recent memory.

Leave it... leave it... oh hell, maybe this year they will have a Necrotizing Fascilitis Leg Beer or Dead Neighbor Putrefying Flesh Smell Beer, just because the Malted Corpse name went over so well years ago. I mean 'Malted Corpse' is not even a play on words, it's just completely inane.
Leprosy Lager is an awesome name for a beer btw.probstk wrote:Leprosy Lager? Dry-Hopped Dried Out Skeleton? Barfy Blech Brew? The possibilities are endless...much like death.

I finally worked up the courage and drank a bottle that was several years' old. It was surprisingly good.Belgian wrote:I have yet to try the Lactese Falcon. Any fans here?probstk wrote: Barfy Blech Brew?
