Trafalgar (like every other Ontario Brewer except Muskoka and sawdust city) delivers direct to LCBO/TBS stores. Most Ontario stuff comes direct and while it's easy to blame the LCBO warehouse for beer thats not fresh 9/10 the breweries shit/substandard/no good products that are to blame. Just saying.

Grabbed the last bottles on the shelf in Kingston.
Bottled 10.27.15.
Really good, but probably was better two months ago...
I'll put it this way my Lake Effect chaser, just doesn't compare...
I don't know but I didn't enjoy it all. A cloying sweetness that seems to be prevalent in BC or northwest IPAs and I do not like it. Same with the Phillips stuff, and that awful, awful Parallel 49 Snap, Crackle, Hop. I'm obviously in the minority though considering the ratings it has on RB and BA.

Huh?
I think he's saying (after having a couple, if I were to hazard a guess) that he likes Lake Effect better.
I hoped that was the case lol. It just sounded like using Fat Tug as a chaser meant that it was to wash the taste of Lake Effect out of his mouth, which would be insanity.
