Where? LCBO website just says not available for me.

Bumping this for visibility. If you are a Ratebeer user you have a limited amount of time to export your ratings from the site. FYI.

Sounds like an amazing trip! What are you taking photos with? I assume an SLR?

I have been planning a day trip to visit the brewery and the museum for a while now. Clearly the NYT stole my idea

I thought I saw mention of Matt ending up at Sparrow but I could have my facts confused?

Been to several of these a few years ago but many were COVID visits where I was avoiding sitting inside. Cured Craft (Leamington) - Nice-ish spot, we mostly stuck to the patio for our visit. Food was decent, I remember the beer more kindly than my tasting notes do. Top Dog (Ruthven) - Do they have a...

Ancient thread but it's as good as any!
I still have some paper stuff buried in boxes and I just found several Cask Days 2007 coasters while cleaning up if anyone is interested.
Cheers!

Apparently there is this place too that I just found on Google maps!

A couple of notes about Windsor: both Craft Heads and Phog are moving from downtown to Erie St. They're actually going in side-by-side in a new plaza build that is across the parking lot from WindsorEats Food Hall. So that'll make for a pretty nice three-pack of spots all right there together. Soun...

Am I the only one who likes Lake of Bays beers, and their restaurants too? lol. Stopped in to the Huntsville location a last winter and the beers had definitely improved over previous years IMO, still skewing towards accessible. Food was a mixed bag - one dish was excellent, and one was pretty not ...

I like the verbosity of Beeradvocate much more than the mostly scores of Untappd. It’s a shame that Untappd has basically taken over. One of the good things I like about Untappd is the lack of granularity. Perhaps many have a finer palate than I do, but I could not reliably differentiate a 91 and 9...

Rose City Beer Works is relatively new. (And I haven't tried them yet if you want to bring some back to the GTA :) ) Sandwich Brewing was decent when I went a few years ago. BREW, Walkerville, Chapter Two (Disappointing when I went, but I'd be curious to hear how they are now). Further out there is ...

Partly depends on if I am paying or not :) Also am I prioritizing the beer or travel? Beer focused I would probably spend a good chunk of time in the UK. From there take the train to Belgium, then on to Germany and Czech Republic. Add Switzerland if I can do the Glacier Express. Alternatively, UK to...

I mean, it's not THAT long ago that a suburban bar with Trou du Diable and Beau's on tap would have been a good thing!

You can easily fill a few days in Montreal and surrounding area. If you haven't been to Buffalo in a while there a several breweries that have opened since the last time I went. Could combine with a Finger Lakes Trip. Pretty much any part of Ontario, depending on what ratio of beer to other stuff yo...
