Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

I am still a big fan of NickelBrook IPAs.
As far as WCIPAs go, Headstock is still great.
Winter Wizard was excellent. Uncle Goose pretty good too.

They have a very nice taproom in Burlington ( Mainway, west of Walkers )

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?

I am curious about the BB dates on Fat Tug, with respect to freshness.
When would this Jun 18 batch have been canned?

Peak to Peak is very good. Nice selection of hops.
I like Bellwoods PIG

They are excellent. Better than most, if not all, the other high end IPAs.
I have ordered 3 times now. Easy pickup in Milton on a Saturday.

Re: Winnipeg?

Just returned from a week in Winnipeg. Most bars have a similar selection of craft on tap, including Half Pints, Little Brown Jug, Torque, etc. I stayed downtown; there are several good spots- The King's Head ( on King ) and the Yellow Dog Tavern, just behind the Burton Cummings Theatre.
