Funny, I was thinking just the other day how good we used to have it when Roch 10 was like 3 bucks a bottle.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
That's definitely why I scaled back my cellar a ton. Used to be if I wanted a decent big beer i couldn't just go to the LCBO and see what imperial stouts they had in stock. I do still keep some stuff around for similar reasons. I've got a whole lot of sours hanging out down there, which I don't thin...

They used to bring in the barrel aged LTM Baltic Porter too, that's one of my all-time favourite beers.

Re: Anyone get a beer advent calendar?
I just grabbed one of those too. Plus their Christmas ale thing. I always end up getting at least one or two of those packs every winter.
I'd get the Westmalle one too, but I don't really want the glass.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
What a strange pairing!
Hopefully the only change is better access to Merit stuff in the LCBO and taps across the province.

Re: Bar Hop 2 (Peter St)
On a recent trip I popped into the original barhop and it was absolutely deserted at like 5 pm. The beer list and food were still good though!

Re: Gingerman, Oakville
Come to think of it, why the heck did TDD being sold to Molson not result in Ontario distribution?

Re: Where would you go for 4 or 5 days?
For sure, a trip to Ottawa or Montreal via PEC could be a ton of fun. Could stop in Kingston or something on the way.

Re: Where would you go for 4 or 5 days?
These days I see a lot less point in beer-focused travel in the US than I used to. The spread of and access to great beer is so great now that I figure I can go pretty much anywhere and hit up the best breweries and/or beer bars in town and I'll be overwhelmed by fun stuff I've never seen before. So...

Re: Beertown
For a while there I thought Bier Markt was going to be the thing that filled that gap. They had a few locations, and I was seeing them on restaurant chain gift cards and stuff like that. Seems like they didn't make it for whatever reason.

Re: Beertown
I’ve never been to Beertown, but it seems like this concept can really give someone that has never had stuff from a small producer a taste for something new and different. Looking at their list, there are some ones that are in Durham region, but also some pretty surprising stuff like Small Pony and...

Re: 2024 Fall Importation LCBO Release
I like that Christmas Ale too. But where's Avec Les Bonx Voeux? I loved that beer so much and we haven't seen it in ages.
