Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Stone FML is tasting great! It has a nice dank, resinous and piney bitterness that's scratching my west coast itch. Can date Jan 5th could be worse.

Re: Toronto Craft Beer Festival

Is this the same festival at the CNE a couple years ago you got a fancy wristband and paid for everything with that? If it's the same one that I remember seeing the sheer chaos of the Friday night on social media and decided to sell my Saturday night tickets rather than go! TCBF is held at Ontario ...

Re: Toronto Craft Beer Festival

I'm not sure if I have heard of this event before, it says since 2016 but I don't recall seeing much about them. So much of this is what I can't stand about festivals...high ticket prices (it costs more to guarantee entry, the basic ticket is subject to capacity!), only token sampling, no kids allo...

I noticed it's available at 4th and 7 if you're willing to pay the markup.

Looking for a beer trade group

I was part of a beer trade facebook group that seems to have disappeared. Can anyone point me in the direction of an active group or community of beer traders?

Looking forward to this, I enjoyed their golden ale.

Not Ontario but Parallel 49 is being cancelled right now due to staff treatment by owners and management. Has anyone seen the notourp49 Instagram and their response?

Tried 3 of their IPAs, all were top notch. Looking forward to stopping by again next time I'm in Cambridge.
