Posted the same thread on BA & RB and was referred to a new spot called Silver Cow, which currently has Stone Old Guardian, Mikkeller Rauch Beer Geek Breakfast, Rare Vos, Old Rasputin, DFH Sah'tea, Avery The Czar, Domaine DuPage, and a shit load of local crafters on tap. Looks like this place might be as good or better than Kickbacks. Will report back with my thoughts.

If you are there on a Sunday this could be a fun chance for Ontario to show off.

Simply bring a bottle to share and a tasting glass.

Thanks for this Terry. I'm thinking I might bring some Thrust, Cherry Hoarder, or a Bellwoods beer.
