Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
I was able to buy Fullers Vintage 2023 this past weekend at the LCBO on Innes in Ottawa. Also I spotted this on the LCBO website, a possible Christmas pack? https://www.lcbo.com/en/westmalle-gift-pack-3-glass-34145 Wow that’s very early for the vintage. Earliest I remeber seeing any of the holiday ...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
Happy to read that St Bernardus Xmas Ale is getting listed again.
Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come and maybe the return of more winter warmer style beers for the holiday season

Re: Best Ontario pilsners
Fairweather Donna, but I've found it varies batch to batch anywhere from 'pretty good' to 'world class' I agree with this 100%. —Bellwoods Bellweiser is the local option I find myself drinking most often and I think it’s great. Vim and vigor is top notch also. I havnt had it for a couple years, but...

Re: What're you drinking right now?
A can of GLB Karma Citra that’s tasting great. I bought a couple of the Karma 4pack they had during the early summer, and this Karma Citra is tasting much better than the ones in the pack I think. For that matter, it’s tasting better than it has the past couple of years. That old pine-y bitter finis...

I’m not familiar personally, but I have a friend who has family in Kingston. He has had their stuff a number of times and he tells me that their IPAs are nearing barncat/badlands/3moon level

Re: London, England pubs
I am reviving an old thread, as I am currently in London, England. Since I am staying in SOHO downtown, there are plenty of pubs with an excellent selection of beer, including cask ales often. I won't ask for recommendations as there are lots of decent pubs. It is first time here, and the beer cult...

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release
On the plus side I just drank a beautiful can of Superflux colour and shape picked up from the LCBO. Big tropical fruit flavours with a nice bitterness in the finish. A nice addition to the LCBO options.

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release
The Equilibrium is pretty terrible. Syrupy sweet, tasting like cotton candy,bubblegum and dextrose all at the same time. My cans(bought two at the same Waterloo location) may have been compromised though. They both were overly frothy when pouring them, to the point that I could only get half the can...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
3F Armand is in stores now, i just cracked one. Sensational and worth every damn penny.
Jaipur ipa is also back after a 10 or so year hiatus…and I think it’s cheaper now than it was back then. It’s still a tasty drink, but our ipa selection has come so far now that it’s nothing special anymore.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS
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...

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release
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...

Re: 2023 LCBO Summer Release
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 ...
