and to get back on topic, put me down for for a beer bar. Assuming we could get a real variety of beer, the idea of a 70 tap bar (with growlers and mix sixes to go - just like God intended) like the Gingerman in NYC http://www.gingerman-ny.com or the Hopcat in Grand Rapids MI http://hopcatgr.com/mai...

Never under estimate students. The Kick off in Waterloo is about 80% students and they support a pretty good 12 tap line up and a fridge full of good stuff. No Guinness (MS Cobblestone instead) and typically a Hoptical Illusion or a Smashbomb - they often mix in some Grand River and some Black Oak a...

It appears the LOB is contract brewed by Muskoka? If so, good! are you thinking that because of the bottle? Given their investment up there in Baysville I'd be surprised if they brewed anything outside. Their web site suggests its brewed in their brewery ... "Our first "official" bre...

The site is up as promised - I'll assume it launched before 23:59 Nov 30.
So we'll also have to assume the brewery staff was not exposed to Peter's "Bob"
Maybe at the company Christmas party?

Nice job!

and not to nit pick (he said while nit picking and being a terrible speller himself) but the spelling of Cascadian is wrong on the OCB site "Caskcadian" (even though on the next line in the Tasting Note it's correct and assuming the packaging is correct - see pic.) http://twitpic.com/35oay...

Chancey Smith's Nov 2010

There were a few “Chancey Smith’s” threads’ I could have added this to but decided to start a new one as I think Chancey’s deserves the publicity. My wife and I had the opportunity to finally get to London after reading about Chancey’s on Bartowel for quite a awhile. We were disappointed to miss the...
