DDC beers are like people, some get along with you immediately better than others which take time to grow on you. A few are other people's best friends though you can't stand them, despite their obvious good qualities. DDC is a relationship as much as a very fine brewery. It's all about character.JeffPorter wrote:Been wanting to try Chaman for a while, but the reviews don't make it sound that promising...

Me too. Despite my moniker, I've narrowed my beer likings over the years to things like good saisons, complex IPAs, and outstanding porters and stouts. I'm going to dry tastes more than fat, heavy and sweet (the calling card of many belgian ales.)JeffPorter wrote:And I'm torn because I loves me some Panil and other sour Belgians, but not really interested in anything that's a Tripel or a Belgian Pale Ale. It also strikes me as weird they would do such a release like this while doing the Dupont feature.

Why not TL? I certainly have my own opinions, I'm just curious about what your reservations are.mixedup wrote:Would have preferred pretty much anywhere but Toronto Life!!!!

No....like a lot of people read it and will likely make coming across some of these more difficult since Toronto Life is a popular magazineGavin wrote:Oh, I'm thinking of the average reader.PeenSteen wrote:I think he's refering to the fact that its widely circulatedGavin wrote: Why not TL?

I know at least SOME people read ONLY Toronto life - not Chowhound, Bartowel, or even some google search reviews to form an opinion. These may be people who obediently follow Frommers travel guides because Rick Steves is literally* too adventuresome (and fun).Gavin wrote:Why not TL?

Yeah, that would be my general criticism.Belgian wrote:I know at least SOME people read ONLY Toronto life - not Chowhound, Bartowel, or even some google search reviews to form an opinion.

It's a generalist 'I don't like to think too much' cuture at least in part. So it may attract the hordes of locusts when TL publishes a thumbs-up on a beer or a new resto.
* note correct usage of 'literally.'
