As an incentive to pull all the lurkers and newbies out of the shadows, we're offering up some prizes. Post often, or post creatively. Quality counts. Frequency counts. Hey, even an interesting avatar or signature might get you a prize... We've got T-shirts, our own, and others. We've got smack pack...

Last year's event was a lot of fun... a great chance to learn all about the brewing process, and see Ontario's *real* "craft brewers" in action! This year, there will even be a "celebrity" team.... some of Toronto's best Beer Bloggers will attempt to put their knowledge forward, ...

Hey guys As you may know, Brian is once again supporting the SOBs, sponsoring our event, bringing his store "live" to the Amsterdam on November 6th. This is a good chance to meet him face-to-face, talk to him about what your options are, and save on the cost of shipping. In fact, you can o...

And yes, if you are going to buy in bulk you really should hook up with the SOBs. Those bulk buys are true bulk buys. Your 25kg bag of two-row will cost you much less if you participate in a group buy (and there have been two this year). The Learn 2 Brew event at Amsterdam on Nov. 6 is a great oppo...

Well, clearly Mark will have his hands full in Regina, but Derek, there's no excuse for you staying home in BC!

The Amsterdam Brewing Co. will once again host the SOBs...

Ron has said he hopes to have it in growlers by the weekend....

If you're not busy on April 22nd, make sure you come to the Granite Brewery to learn about the SOBs new contest. SOB Competitions Director and BJCP judge Roger Beal and I are still working out the contest details, but we wanted to get the invite out to ensure a good crowd... (to repeat, there will b...
