Re: Collective Arts hit with $500K tax bill!

Maybe it's to prevent contract brewers from being able to make beer more cheaply than micro brewers?

Re: Kingston Brewing Company

Do they still have the high roller special?

Re: 2023 Fall Import LCBO Release (September 10 - October 7)

I don't remember ever seeing that many Euro Oktoberfest beers coming in. I hope they all arrive at once so I can compare them all. How the heck are we getting Grandauer?

Fun to have Obscura in too.

I had one of those strawberries last night. It was definitely sweet, but I still liked it well enough. Better than I was expecting!

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Einbecker Ainpockisch 1378 I've only even had the Ur-bock Hell from this brewery before, but noticed this on shelves the other day. It's great, and so different from what local breweries are making. I wish instead of bringing in imports like Brewdog and Omnipollo (okay fine, they kinda brew locally ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
