Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
That's so funny. I basically did the same. Sounds like it was widespread. Why do you think that is (that we all did much the same thing)? COVID by-product? Are we all the same age, lol? While I think a Covid-cellar dive and our aging demographic on BT play a part, I think it's mainly just the evolu...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Nice to have this back... I think it's been several years since we've seen it. https://www.lcbo.com/en/cuvee-van-de-keizer-blauw-288696 I don't follow the Belgium beers too closely, but $12.95 for a 750 mL bottle strikes me as being quite a deal. I'm not huge into Belgium beers anymore, but I still...

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?
Went to buy my annual Boneshaker for Halloween (gotta use that skull mug I have!) and was shocked to see it went up to $4.25/can. Oh wait... it's in a 568ml can!
Works out to a cheaper price per ounce, but I don't know if I was really looking for more ounces, lol

Re: Anyone get a beer advent calendar?
For NA fans, Designated Drinks and Upside Drinks also do advent calendars.
I did the one from Upside last year as I was hoping for a lot of Quebec selection and was disappointed that it only made up for 1/4 to a 1/3. Still was good, just not as good as I hoped.

Re: Anyone get a beer advent calendar?
While not on their website/social media (yet I'm assuming) last month I visited Oranje Son Brewing in Caledonia for the first time and they said they were working on an advent calendar. As with LB, they don't have 24 brands and we making lots of one-offs just for the calendar. I had a couple of thei...

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Am I the only one who likes Lake of Bays beers, and their restaurants too? lol. I've never been to their restaurant(s) but have not enjoyed their beers over the years. I presume they've improved? I think LB beers have improved. I never thought the quality was poor, just a bit bland and not true to ...

Re: Around the World Beer Trip...where would you go?
Years ago I remember making a loop home>quebec>vermont>nyc>home, with the first two stops based purely on beer (the nyc stop was because I was with family and we wanted to see the Macy's thanksgiving day parade - which is awesome). I can't imagine planning a trip around beer at this point. Case in p...

Re: Beertown
My beef with the Oakville Beertown is value for money - the beers are all 14/15oz or smaller, and $8-$9+ per, plus tax and tip. And I've observed consistent under-filling of glasses, and whether purposeful or not, drives me mad. I end up going to other places in town where the selection isn't the s...

Re: Beer in Convenience Stores coming early
They will be "convenient" on holidays for when I poorly plan.
That's the extent of seeing myself using them.

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread
$229.00 :lol: :lol: :lol: Pretty sure it's well over 230 USD in the states though, so it's a (relative) deal getting it through the LCBO sure, and that's stupid too. Over a 55% increase in the last 8 years. Granted many Scotches have increased that much in the same time period, but that's laughable...
