Re: Is cask beer still a thing?
The Wooly has 4 engines?! I can't recall seeing more than one in use at a time since I moved to Guelph. I bet it doesn't move particularly well, which I suppose is why it's kinda not a thing all over. The old-timey beer bars have old-timey clientele (hey, that's us!) who like the told-timey styles ...

Re: Gout, filtered vs unfiltered beer, and the guy trying to cheat the system
The cherry juice didn't seem to work with him. In speaking with my doctor and a dietitian it seems, like most things in life, that what affects one person may not affect another (hence the cherry juice not working for me). I might be able to eat as much seafood as possible but beer might be a trigge...

Re: Gout, filtered vs unfiltered beer, and the guy trying to cheat the system
Hazy can be tricky. It's a bit wrong to automatically assume the haze is (all) suspended yeast. Yes I know, however there is no way to knowing (without talking to the brewers themselves) if this is the case or not. Many hazy beers I've had are just filled with yeast particulate, while others just s...

Gout, filtered vs unfiltered beer, and the guy trying to cheat the system
This November/December I experienced my first bout of gout, and it was without a doubt the worst experience of my life. To make it even more special, 3 different doctors said that it was the worst case they'd ever seen... yay me! While there are many reasons for a/my gout attack, beer is definitely ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
LCBO website is showing the closest location with LTM Baltique is in Ottawa- anyone know if this one just sold through quickly, or just slow to distribute? Hopefully the latter since I was meaning to go look for some. Max I've seen was four stores: Ottawa, Peterbourgh, Toronto, and Mississauga. But...

Re: Top 5 B.S.
Great Lakes Lager. A case of 24 for $50 is hard to beat, it’s good cold, and fits the lawnmower beer requirement. For non-Ontario, it’s Jever for me - delicious Pilsner that’s relatively cheap. Jever is my go to, almost always in my fridge. I just went with DAB over Jever due to accessibility: I ca...

Re: Top 5 B.S.
I'll play along, but I'm removing the "produced in Ontario" criteria, because who's stopping me??? In no particular order, here's my top five utility grade beers: DAB. Hit's all the points: Pretty much any lcbo/tbs has it, it's $2.30/can, and it's pretty darn good, especially when cold. MG...

Re: Anyone make an Eisbock in Ontario?
Then you can hear it again... the food is fantastic.
Beer is good to very good. Nothing outstanding, nothing poor.

Re: Goose Island Black Friday 2021
When I ordered there was just over 1500 bottles, so I'm quite surprised it sold out that fast.

Re: Goose Island Black Friday 2021
In typical LCBO fashion I was able to add these to my cart and pay for it 5 minutes before 10am.
Now I await the cancellation email because they allowed me to do this.
