Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?

Since newer West Coast IPAs are so few and far between I have been going back to the classics. Boneshaker in particular really hits the mark for me, as I love the heavier malt body combined with the hop bite.
Boneshaker is $80 for a 24 at TBS, $3.33 a can, not bad for a great 7%er!

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?

I’ve also recently revisited Ransack after years away. I love it again like I used to. They had 4-packs at superstore for $14 until I cleaned them out eventually :D

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out

Rumours have it that the Furnace Room Brewery in Georgetown has been sold to the Keenan’s Irish Pub chain. They have never had in-house food service at the brewery so I would think that this will lead to Keenan’s serving food there, and brewing beer to be served in the pubs. In recent months Furnace...

Re: Collective Arts

Ransack used to be my go-to IPA. Now I rarely buy it except to re-try it to see if it’s as good as it used to be. It never is.

I even had a saying “you can’t go wrong with a Ransack”

Re: Collective Arts hit with $500K tax bill!

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

GLB has a variety four-pack of karmas sabro, citra, cryo, and geddon. I picked up a couple at the LCBO, I thought it may have been a brewery exclusive, so that was a nice surprise. And was glad to see it wasn’t citra, Simcoe and two others, it was citra and three others, including the Citrageddon 8...
