Nice.
Thanks to their casks in a box, I've ordered home delivery from Granite more than any other brewery in Ontario.
Can't resist those in summer!

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
dealing with this market is a nightmare, thats why you dont see many widely distributed brands here In addition to missing Rouge, I miss Southern Tier too. That was a fun time. I miss doing the private orders. My favourite was ordering cases of Great Divide Titan and Hercules. Those beers blew me a...

Re: Gout, filtered vs unfiltered beer, and the guy trying to cheat the system
Had gout once a handful of years ago. No fun!
I had pretty much been living off of chicken wings, beer and burgers at the time.
No problems since...don't eat much steak or burgers any more.

Re: Galapagos Islands
I don't know how I missed this old post, but ya...there are some decent beers in the Galapagos. Santa Cruz positions themselves as the first craft brewery in the islands, but there is some controversy there. They existed first, but originally brewed in Guayaquil, Ecuador - not in the islands. When E...

Re: Goose Island Black Friday 2021
In the past, I seem to recall there being a $50 limit when ordeirng to be shipping to store. So I pre-stashed a couple of other bottles in my cart to get over that limit. Went to check out and was told that the availability of one of my items had changed. I was sure I missed out, but turns out it w...

Re: Goose Island Black Friday & Bourbon County Stout
It's not sold out....I was getting the same issue.
Just went back and there are 600+ bottles left now. What a mess.
The beer I wanted to add to get to the $50 threshold is sold out now though, lol.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Happy to have snagged some Orval recently.
Sad that the Triple Karmeliet and Achel Extra that appeared on the LCBO app last year never materialized.

Re: Pedal Pubs in Toronto
Rode one of these in Milwaukee. They didn't serve us beer, although they had space for supplies. Instead we stocked up ahead of time and drank what we picked up at each stop along the way. So no "serving" but plenty of "consuming". Truly the fun part is drinking while pedaling wi...

Re: Spending/Drinking More or Less on Beer during Pandemic?
Great to hear how everyone is "coping" 8) That was a good point by Craig...not buying as many "expensive" bottles. I think that fits my pattern too. I did splurge on a few big money online orders, but overall it's been the $3-4 beers. I've been off sours for quite some time, so t...

Spending/Drinking More or Less on Beer during Pandemic?
Curious how people feel their drinking habits have changed in recent months? Were you desperate to get out to a restaurant for a pint and food during Stage 3? Were you ordering beers to go from your favourite bars? I've ordered beers online from many breweries I might not have otherwise (Bell City, ...

Re: Godspeed Brewery
Had the Godspeed "Nana" recently, brewed with Japanese shichimi spices and was really impressed.
Didn't know what to expect, and it turned out to be one of my favourite beers of this summer.

Re: Third Moon Brewing
Kind of surprised there's not more chatter about this brewery on here. I've mainly had their IPAs, but they've been uniformly excellent. Kind of bringing back the more classic style IPA, but with a modern presentation. I jumped in on the first delivery package they offered. No car these days, and r...

Re: Beer in Grocery Stores
I did finally give in this summer to convenience and have grabbed brews from my closest grocery store multiple times.
can see myself maybe getting more used to it when weather gets nasty and it's the closest option.
