Re: Canadian Brewing Awards & Conference 2023
Looks like Shacklands cleaned up in the Belgian categories, good for them.

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release
I've always thought it tasted better out of the big green bottles too, but I just chalked that up to tasting with my eyes or my imagination or something.
The beer I really miss is Avec Les Bons Voeux. I used to get tons of that every holiday season, haven't seen it in ages.

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release
The LCBO does weird things when you try to search by a SKU that doesn't exist. It somehow tries to guess the right search for you, showing you an essentially random result. Like searching for 23743, it says on the one side "no results" then shows me results for 234369 instead.

Black Gold Brewery
I found myself in Petrolia Ontario last weekend, so I stopped in here for lunch. Pretty big space, not very crowded. Had a somewhat limited food menu that generally had pub staples on it. I got the charcuterie board which was fine. Beer was decent! I got their "pseudo lager" whatever that ...

Re: Kalamazoo
I posted this elsewhere too, but in a recent trip to Detroit a bottle shop recommended a Wax Wings IPA to me, which I brought home and thoroughly enjoyed. I believe it was this one: https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/53044/360429/

Re: Detroit
Oh, I forgot to add before. One of the beers that was recommended to me when I was there was a Wax Wings hazy IPA, out of Kalamazoo. It was outstanding.

Re: Why don't brewery taprooms stay open late?
Are taprooms not open late? For example, Bellwoods is open until 1, Amsterdam Brewhouse until 12 or 2 depending on the day, Northern Maverick until 2. I'm sure there are some that don't say open too, I just checked a few randomly that I thought probably had later hours. I think you'll definitely fin...

Re: Detroit
I was just in Detroit for an extended weekend, figured this thread could use dusting off. Breweries: Detroit have a few, but honestly they're not as saturated as most places are these days. I gather that's changing in time. Faisan was the standout place for me. They're pretty new and still finding t...
