If my eyes didn’t deceive me, I think I just saw the Vim&Vigor is coming to the LCBO. Happy days. Your eyes didn't deceive you. I enjoyed one on the weekend. A classy Ontario made pilsner. That’s great news, I love Vim&Vigor. Right up there for best Pilsner in the province, for me along wit...

I've always thought it tasted better out of the big green bottles too, but I just chalked that up to tasting with my eyes or my imagination or something. The beer I really miss is Avec Les Bons Voeux. I used to get tons of that every holiday season, haven't seen it in ages. I’ve got one lonely bott...

Doesn't seem like it's even listed yet, I can't find it on the website. I'm also hoping Dupont will hurry up and get here soon, been craving some of that lately. Dupont is under the number from the last time they released it: https://www.lcbo.com/en/saison-dupont-551697 Wish they'd bring the 750ml ...

DuPont is in store, I was in Dundas last weekend and they had a large number.

Any plans in the near future to bring the Beard of Zeus back to the LCBO?

Moving to short cans for some brands too. I have to wonder if we'll see more short can offerings from breweries to keep price points down amidst increasing costs, definitely a way to reduce sticker shock since I imagine most people don't do a cost per ml calculation when they're staring at the pric...

Made a quick stop in on the weekend when I was in town. This version of the Donna Pilsner is back to its very best. The last couple times I had it, it wasn’t quite as good as before but right now it’s fantastic. The Czech lager is pretty tasty too, but not in the same ballpark as Donna. The IPA with...

Maybe a little late to the party here….. But I’m going to throw this out there. The new(ish) Mexican lager by Cowbell that’s in 4 packs at the LCBO is IMO fantastic for what it is. I’ve had it stocked in my fridge constantly since first discovering it. Works on all levels, refreshing, flavourful eno...

Landlord looks to be back :) I was in an LCBO in town the other day and saw one lonely bottle of Timoth Taylor Landlord, so of course I grabbed it. Thought it was a bit strange there was only the one, but after checking the LCBO app it’s back on there, and rolling out quickly. Happy days. One of my ...

Will be in Vegas next week. First time in five years. I'm open to suggestions, but I will have a well travelled local beer geek to babysit me. 8) One place another contact has steered me toward is the local Brew Dog location. Looks kind of neat, even if it is probably over the top corporate. Anybod...

That is great news, it’s been far too long.

I agree with you. Not just another juice bomb. It kind of out me in mind of the original Amsterdam Fracture

I’m far from a wit beer guy…but something about the St Bernardus Wit sits well with me that I really enjoy it. It’s got a great minerality to it.
Really glad the DuPont is coming back as well, as I’ve been rationing my last couple.

I love the Jaipur.
