Re: Evergreen 2024 Craft Beer Fest
Or even just Brewer's Backyard. Those are the events I miss the most. February 2018 Brewer's Backyard at Brickworks was the first official date with the better half. We also did the 2019 one too as a first anniversary. Then the world stopped for a while. Anyways, we're getting married in a couple o...

Re: Evergreen 2024 Craft Beer Fest
As with all such events, please Event Owners/Organizers, I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS BEING SERVED BEFORE I COMMIT MONEY! I do not want to find out that all of what is being served is the breweries regular staples which are available at the LCBO, ordered directly from them or at bars around town. And idea...

Re: Toronto West Beer and Bourbon Fest
Thanks for posting that! I remember Toronto Bourbon Week. :D I discovered at Carbon, for half price!, what would become my favourite bourbon. Completely random selection, I just picked the highest price shot on the menu. I recall the LCBO had some stock of it then and none since despite my pestering...

San Juan, Puerto Rico
Recently did a Caribbean cruise with the better half and friends. One of the port stops was in San Juan Puerto Rico. I spent several hours at La Taberna Lupulo. https://www.latabernalupulo.com/ I read many positive things about the place and it didn't disappoint. Live beer and food menus: https://ww...

Re: Henderson Brewing @ YYZ
Yup, I want a nice beer while after Security while waiting to fly out (both in domestic and international terminals), not at the end of my trip or (GULP!) ahead of dealing with Security.

Re: Best Ontario pilsners
While I prefer Jever I also found myself drinking Pilsner Urquell more this summer... probably because it's in my local lcbo instead of having to order Jever online. Thanks - don't think I've ever tried (or even heard of) Jever. Looks like that is available at my local LCBO, so I'll also give it a ...

Re: Best Happy Hour Deals in Ontario (Ongoing)
Thanks for the Wasted Youth and Function Bar recommendations! :D I went on Saturday afternoon to Wasted Youth and it seems to be a reasonably good Thirsty & Miserable replacement. (I do miss T&M! :cry: ) Function Bar will be a good place to go up at Y&E when I can't drag friends over to ...

Re: Godspeed Brewery
Would have loved to attend the ALT vs Kolsch but was in Ireland. I do hope this event gets repeated.

Re: Left Field Brewery
Far easier location to get to for me than their original spot. If the Jays make the playoffs this year I hope their brewpub is up and going by then. Should be a great place to watch a game.

Re: Celebrity Pub Encounters?
Most recent was during a UK trip last August. I was at Cask Pub & Kitchen in London and the YouTube Craft Beer Channel guys were there. They looked like they were wrapping up and had some people bothering them already so I kept to myself. Neat unexpected surprise. :D Six to seven years ago I had...

Re: Boston
I'm heading to Boston for a conference on Sunday so was hoping people might have some recommendations. Conference is in Back Bay, and I won't have a vehicle, so outlying spots like Treehouse are probably out. I have Trillium, Night Shift and Jack's Abby on the list... anywhere else (pub or brewery)...
