Some great looking stuff on here....so glad the Rochefort 10 is back, must stock up. And glad to see the Smuttynose on here. Interestingly, a solid mix of reasonably priced vs overly priced stuff this time around. Only a couple on there that I would completely skip over due to price.

I always recomend people Dictador rum, from Columbia. Not sure how rare it is.....but I've never known anyone else to have a bottle. Its something like 65$ at lcbo. It's smoother and better than most single malt whisky's i've ever had. A great sipper. Well worth the price.

Bought a Grand River Highballer yesterday and really enjoyed it. Nice pumpkin flavour, with less of the heavy-handed spicing.

Maybe it's the Manitoban in me (where drinking age is 18 ), but I've long held the belief that if you're viewed as an adult by the rest of bureaucracy and society as a whole (to be tried as an adult in court, to purchase other restricted items like lottery tickets and pornography, to appear on a ju...

Side Launch Pale Ale, recently purchased cans: A cracker, completely in my sweet spot, very close to my personal ideal of beer (if I had to pick just one, it would be English Pale Ale). Those who prefer AIPAs and whatnot may scoff, but this might be my favourite new Ontario beer of 2014. There is p...
