Yeah, I haven't been to any big events recently so I can't say how it compares Great Lakes is hosting a Brewed For You Craft Beer Festival in August; depending upon session, ticket prices for an event with 20-ish breweries/cideries is either $30 or $45. Maybe that's just what stuff costs these days...

Noticed mention of this on Insta, so thought I'd post details here: https://www.evergreen.ca/evergreen-brick-work/events/beerfest2024/ 2024 Craft Beer Fest Join us in Toronto for our first ever event celebrating a love of craft beer and a commitment to caring for our planet.

Ah, Unibroue. <3 Still have fond memories of the dinner at The Academy of Spherical Arts. Thanks for posting this, Cass -- I'll be sure to head on down to it.

South River Brewing: https://southriverbrewing.ca/ IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT! It is with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of South River Brewing Co. As I reach my 20th birthday (Feb 29) I don't think I have even heard of this brewery, but I have to be impressed and commend someone for opening ...

I hope you bought an early bird ticket, as they announced yesterday that the Goose Island Bourbon Country Stout will be getting poured there.

Noticed that LCBO Beer Watch has announced DdC!'s Péché Mortel is returning (#30661, $5.05/473ml).

Many of those whiskies usually show up on the spring lotto for Buffalo Trace, and (in theory, at least) everyone gets a fair shot at them. The live bourbon special releases on Vintages never go well, and today was a horror, so much so the they suspended the release, and will re-offer it again, presu...

If anyone was thinking of heading down this weekend, be aware that it might be a tad smokey.

The latest Unibroue mix pack at TBS has gone from bottles to cans and has 3 each of Eau Benite, TP, LFDM and Maudite. The coming gift pack won't be terribly different -- LFDM, Maudite, Saison Libre, and Blanche de Chambly (plus a BdC glass). The cans will be bigger in this one, and I don't think th...

In case anyone missed the announcement on social media a couple of days ago: Cask Days Beer Festival returns for its 17th year! From Friday, October 13th to Sunday October 15th there will be 30+ different casks from 30+ different breweries across Ontario available to try on the patio of Bar Volo in ...

The winter pack has always been skewed towards the higher abv end; it was good to have a Chambly tossed in, even if it was the Blonde. It is a shame that they've reduced the amount of variety in the pack, although the trade-off is more beer -- 355ml cans vs the old 341ml bottles. Thanks for the feed...

I noticed (with some dismay) that the seasonal pack of Unibroue at the Beer Store now is canned, not bottled. I'd really like to set some aside for aging, but have doubts about how things would turn out with canned beer. Anyone have any experience in this area, and/or does anyone know if it's still ...

Just a quick note to report that The Monk's Kettle closed shop on the 26th of May; dunno what sort of establishment will be taking over from them.

Is there a snowball's chance in hell that Peach & Pepper will be resurrected as a 7 Barrel Series release?
