Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

It's been a couple weeks since the announcement, but I grabbed some Rouge River Holy Trinity IPA at a nearby LCBO. From my humble perspective, it's one of the best regional NEIPAs you can get. This, combined with Bellwoods Double Jutsu's availability at the lickbo, is damn good news for IPA lovers ...

Re: Godspeed Brewery

I was recently surprised to see Godspeed in the LCBO, the Yuzu Saison. Excellent beer. I’m hoping a couple of the lagers make their way there as well. I did a summer order from Godspeed and the that Yuzu was a surprising highlight! All their stuff was quality, as expected, but that Yuzu took me by ...

Re: The Only Cafe (Toronto) - property listed on MLS

A post on Reddit in r/torontocraft beer mentioned that the owner of The Only owns the building and they're looking to sell it and keep the business open. Due to this, they are having a hard time finding a buyer.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

The amount of Orval selling through the LCBO is unbelievable. There are many stores that have had people buying it by the case. If this kind of pattern of high sales continues, the board will be more likely to want to have it carried year round.

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

... and then again to the time the listing actually goes live for stores to then order the product or have it forced to them , can be an excruciatingly long time. Some stores are great. It's down to individual staff to care that beer exists (or to deny it.) While this is true and I am given a lot o...

Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

So I heard through the grapevine that Orval has shown up in the LCBO warehouse, but it's not listed yet. Don't let me down grapevine! I have a few bottles cellared, bottled around 2013-2016. Though I suspect they are past their prime, It would be interesting to compare them to a new batch. I recall...
