Henderson's 2021 Beast Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Amber Ale Despite the fact I've never had much of a liking for bourbon, I have come to love bourbon barrel-aged beers. Mostly these are stouts, this one is an amber ale. I loved it. Great flavour, appropriately packaged in a 375 mL bottle given tha...

Sometimes I wonder if there are breweries that are just built to be sold. Hendersons comes to mind. They just scaled fast, but the beer is nothing remarkable. In fact, I've had samples at the brewery that made me scratch my head. Like, you couldn't nail this style? This partial quote comes from ano...

One thing that still strikes me about the US craft beer scene, is how many breweries even the smaller to midsize cities tend to support. And not just the volume, but the density and fact that they're often within the more traditional urban boundaries of the city. Here it seems that outside of Toron...

I was pleasantly surprised to find Ghost Orchid at the 'BO. I don't think I've ever seen it there before. It has been mentioned elsewhere in the forum, but I'll mention it again here. I recommend frequently checking LCBO Beer Inventory ... a better way to explore! I occasionally find a beer in the ...

Despite all the negative comments above, these guys are still going strong. I've made two on-line orders from them this year, and while I'll skip the details, I wanted to give a shout out to Stephanie Whittaker for great customer service. I always liked 'em! Pick up any good seasonals? Oatmeal Crea...

I emailed them to inquire about shipping fees and it came back undeliverable.

That all being said, I had heard that some breweries in Nova Scotia would ship to you out of province, and looking at North's website they state it clearly that they will: https://www.northbrewing.ca/shipping Just checked out North's website and not only does it say they will ship here, it says fre...

My main complaint is still the difficulty of exporting and importing goods between provinces. What craft lover wouldn't want to get their hands on the best from BC, Quebec, Nova Scotia and beyond? Agree!! While I totally agree having more stuff from other provinces would be great, I can't help but ...

It a really good beer when fresh, still decent when not.

Wow, that's quite the visual.

Interesting story. But as for your thread title, I don't in the least think we have it bad. Yes, beer is expensive here compared to some other places, and yes, I know some don't like the control the LCBO has. But I was just talking today with one of my young (mid 20s) co-workers who is very into bee...
