The last Place I saw it, and had it (in a can) was in a bar in Erieau, Ontario (south of Chatham). The bar was called Molly & O.J.'s, and they had about 50 different kinds of beer to offer, much to my shock. Anyways, if you want some really badly, Molly & O.J.'s is on a long point out into t...

Hehe, thanks guys. Wow, I didn't expect this to come up almost a year later. It's pretty common stuff just about everywhere now.

Cool... Four black beers I haven't tried yet, and I won't have to drive to Buffalo to get them! (even though the drive is inevitable at this time of year, seeing as I'll be going to Ellicottville NY a lot this winter. Gotta remember to finally visit their brewery while I'm down there. Anyways, I'm o...

How do we know what the seasonal releases are if Peter or Cass don't tell us? The LCBO puts out Food & Drink, and I was flipping through it today, and didn't see anything about new releases, except for a little square dedicated to Black Wych. Anything mentioning beer only touches on beers that a...

Is this an anual even held in guelph, or is it in a different city/province every year? Is it any good? I should think it would be.

The thing I was most wondering about, is why should the City of Mississauga have to pay for recycling wine bottles and non twist cap beer bottles when the Beer Store is doing their part to reuse the bottles? The price for bottled beer is the same for dual listed products. The LCBO is just pocketing ...

So, we can't return beer bottles, or any bottle to the LCBO for that matter, and get any money back. I've got a ton of bottles from the LCBO and wherever else I've bought beer from or received from friends travelling, but they all go into the recycle bin. The last time I went to the Beer Store, the ...

Just to dip back into the topic of "fall releases" for a second... In my ever lasting quest for stouts, I noticed that the LCBO is stocking Black Wych. Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know, this was around last year, was it not? Do they actually buy new bottles/cases, or do they j...

The beer fridge was off limits... Not to be opened even to check the temperature. A boring night spent contemplating whether or not to get smashed. All I could think about was knocking back a bunch of Imperial Stouts that are littlering my fridge. The DFH World Wide Stout would have capped the night...

Absolutely send it back. I've had a few bad pints before (one tasted like wet straw!) and I've mentioned it to the server and they've replaced it without a question.
