Re: Beer in Convenience Stores coming early
The only thing I ever use convenience stores for is ice a couple of times a year. I’m not fundamentally against beer in these stores, but it’s no benefit to me. Since my teacher is chronically underpaid and my school is falling apart and I can no longer go shoot up in safety, this is probably a goo...

Re: Thirsty & Miserable
I went this past Saturday. Bar at the front with stools and seating at the back. The usual music on and not that loud too, which is always nice. Two unisex washrooms on the main floor. Six taps with I presume four more on the way at some point (based on the unused tap fridge further down the bar.) ...

Re: General LCBO Debate & Discussion Thread
It's $330 USD ($444.44 CAD) at Premier Gourmet. That seems like a price in order to keep it in stock so they can say they have it. Could very well be. Also some people who view things as more expensive = more good. I'm looking to go to Buffalo/Niagara in the next little bit so I'll see if it's behi...

Re: Good news from your Premier!
I got no problem with the outcome. I have a big problem with this being used as a big populist stunt/distraction, when these "folks" should be getting real work done. Especially not wasting this kind of money to accelerate an inevitable outcome just so they can goose their election campaig...

Good news from your Premier!
Hi Folks, Today I am happy to announce that 7/11, with locations in communities across the Province, beloved as a source of nutrition, lottery tickets and emergency USB cables by ordinary folks like you, now have a new offering. Folks, yes this it it. The next time you want to see a press conference...

Re: Godspeed 7th Anniversary Weekend
I am disappointed that their website only mentions that there is an event, but no other details. Presumably their instacrap account has the details like who the collaborators are. It annoys me when businesses use that tactic to tell non social media users that they are not welcome. Would it be so ha...

Re: What're you drinking right now?
Collective Arts Singular Vision. Described as a singe hop (Simcoe) NEIPA. I'd say it's a bit different to what we have come to expect from NEPIAs. In a good way. It's on the dry side, to my liking, yet still has a pleasant mouthfeel. It does not have any acrid notes in the finish in some attempt to ...

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?
A month or so back I revisited Ransack the Universe and was pleasantly surprised that they have returned to form. It's not the most extreme example out there, but I'm liking it. I'm glad they seem to have overcome their QC issues. My wife loves Life in the Clouds (as do I) and she reports the same w...

Re: Because Beer Hamilton July 11-12
We should have a special GIF when an ancient thread comes back to life! I like the gif thing, but it's got to be the minimum number of pixels possible. I propose a closeup of a gusher/foam over from a 'cellared' (AKA LCBO new old stock) Trafalgar bottle with some sort of oracle rising from the mess...

Good news! I think I have developed auto-brewery syndrome. Woo Hoo! Maybe Donald Ford will book me for a speaking tour around the province.

Re: What to do if you think you have a really bad batch (tainted)?
Unfortunately, I suspect that rather than providing useful feedback to the production and packaging teams, you are just causing the legal and PR teams to salivate over the invoices they will be submitting to corporate. I'd just rather shop elsewhere instead of rewarding that cynical pile.

Hammocks. They really need some hammocks in there. A splash pad might be nice too.El Pinguino wrote: ↑Thu Jun 20, 2024 3:22 pm I can't imagine anywhere having a chill vibe like Godspeed after a TFC game?
