Beaver River?

Nickel Brook Autumn Harvest Amsterdam Autumn Hop Any more info on these two, Peen? Format, ABV, etc? Or more importantly when we might see them on shelves? I'd imagine soonish, right?

Any more info on these two, Peen? Format, ABV, etc? Or more importantly when we might see them on shelves? I'd imagine soonish, right? Judging by the names, they sound like the mid-strength hoppy ESBs you see every fall in the U.S. (i.e. Southern Tier Harvest, Goose Island Harvest, Portsmouth Hop H...

All this talk has made me thirsty for some NN. I usually defer to CC (though I like them both very much) only because it's readily available (and very fresh) at my local 'BO, which sadly doesn't carry NN. However, I picked up a sixer of NN a bit further afield today and am looking forward to getting...

Yeah, that name (hilarious) rings a bell. It was a perfect recipe for a summer night session; I wonder if they'll take this new one in a higher abv direction? It's shown up before on draft at festivals/one-off events, etc, and has pretty favourable reviews: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/great-lakes-...

Not sure if it's going to be part of the fall release, the Halloween release, or just trickle out on its own, but Great Lakes just announced via their monthly newsletter that alongside their regular Pumpkin Ale, they'll also be releasing Saison du Pump (pumpkin saison) at the LCBO mid-September. It'...

Last night at St Louis Bar & Grill and Jack Astor's in the craft beer haven of Scarborough: Moosehead Lager (draught) Rickard's White (draught) Hop City Barking Squirrel Lager (draught) Joking aside, the Moosehead was very fresh and clean tasting with a decent hop bite and no off flavours. Don'...

Not right away, but I believe they may pitch it next year.

Cool, thanks Greg.

This is readily available in a bottled 6-pack... Not so readily. Look it up on the LCBO site. In central Toronto there are only three locations selling King Pilsner, with 27 six-packs amongst them. Are they phasing out the bottled version in favour of cans? It's been like that for awhile. I think d...

Well, my years of whining for this have actually paid off. From their FB page: "King Pilsner can coming soon to your local LCBO beginning July 21st. Single serve tall can $2.95 each. Available now at King Brewery Retail Store." Yes, I believe I will be buying the shit out of this. This is...

Thanks to all who came out yesterday. The turnout was actually a bit below what we'd hoped for/expected, but at least it meant that line-ups were rare, and it was easy to get around and try things. Lots of good feedback from attendees and brewers as well. We've already got initial plans underway fo...
