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.

Makes me pine for the Altbier that Creemore used to make years ago. I loved that one.

Yes. It’s absolutely fantastic, I need to grab more before it’s gone. The Keller Pils is really good as well. Wasn’t as impressed by the black Pilsner, unfortunately.

Anyone 'member when they brought in some Dogfish Head 60? It was the greatest summer our lives... I sure 'member the price: $12 for six. :o 17 years ago, spring 2006, wow. And then after all that the LCBO rejected it for the General List! :x I find I'm really missing English beer these days. Fuller...

Stone returns! https://www.lcbo.com/en/stone-fear-movie-lions-double-ipa-29593 And Destihl comes to Ontario! Would not have guessed that. https://www.lcbo.com/en/destihl-haze-of-the-dead-hazy-double-ipa-29592 Nice to see Stone back, I hope it means Arrogant Bastard might return as well. We've alrea...

So I managed to grab the 4-pack that includes tripels from Shacklands, Folly, Brock and Meuse. So far I've tried Shacklands and it's a solid 4/5 from me. Nice phenols, fruitiness, dry; strong but well balanced. I found the malt veered into a caramel/toasty territory, it seemed quite dark, almost du...

Not seeing this on the LCBO website but an interesting Saison available now for $7.05 for a corked 375 ml bottle. Collaboration between Blaugies and Hill Farmstead. Haven't tried it yet but looks promising. https://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/Beer/Beer-Ratings.asp?BeerID=201329 I found this at the LCB...

Finally saw a couple of cans and grabbed some. It’s really delicious and a welcome change in style to most of what’s out there right now. Also an absolutely beautiful looking pint.

Noticed someone up the road from you is "temporary" closed right now...

I overheard something I probably shouldn’t have, just before Xmas regarding “someone up the road”. Didn’t sound good…

Collective Arts 2020 Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Porter 500 mL, 11.5% alc I' am posting this because, well, it's the purpose of this thread, and this beer is awesome. But also...to show that I can successfully submit a single, unedited post after consuming this. :D And the irony is not lost on me ...

We have a good discussion on gout in another thread (thanks Matt for that), but I thought I would start a more general discussion. Consciously, or sub-consciously, I sometimes contemplate how much alcohol I consume, usually convincing myself that all is good. I'm not sure when I first heard of &quo...

Barncat has a hazelnut beer release this weekend: https://barncatales.com/2023/01/18/beer-for-january-20-21-2/ Jackass has a hazelnut Porter right now as well. To be honest I’ve never really had anything that good from Jackass, but it may be worth your while heading to C-bridge and hitting the two ...
