Wow, some good stuff on there. Kicking myself for stopping following them a couple of weeks ago.

Re: Breweries closing and/or restructuring and/or bought out
Oh, they had the Greener Futures thing too, which was a membership subscription for some beer if I remember right.

Re: Alcohol regulation changes
I'd love to be able to import from out of Province breweries directly. Does anyone know what the rules are for that in other provinces? It feels like that's the sort of thing the powers that be would want everyone to allow or nobody.

Re: What's Your Favourite Ontario West Coast IPA?
I haven't had a Calabogie IPA in like 5 years, but I remember being very pleasantly surprised when I tried it way back when. I should search that one out again sometime.

Re: Greg Clow to close Canadian Beer News
Back in the day we were all the extreme beer chasers, always looking for the strange new things. As the industry progressed, the people who still post here have more or less become beer traditionalists. We're not the ones out there hankering for the latest trendy or experimental beer any more, we're...

Re: Collective Arts
GLB are truly unrivaled at their price point in Ontario. Canuck at 3.15 and their rotating IPAs at like 3.60 are like a buck cheaper than their competition. Pompous Ass is under 3 bucks! I will say though, Collective Lager has become a bit of a staple for me. It's consistent, well-priced and pretty ...

I tried to go, but my plans/place to crash fell through. Going to a Great Lakes Tap takeover in Guelph instead.

Re: Goose Island Black Friday & Bourbon County Stout
The price on BCBS is what it is, but I can't get behind calling that beer underwhelming. It's been great every time I've had it. Double Tempest is my favourite Ontario beer of the style. You can get it online from Amsterdam right now, shame they don't deliver to Guelph. Bellwoods BOYD was pretty goo...

Re: Winter Release ???
I'm excited to try Malheur 12. Never had the chance that I can recall.
I really liked the Allsopp last go around, so I'm excited to see that back too.

Re: Henderson Brewing @ YYZ
I'm with Portwood on that, but to each their own. When I get off the plane the only thing I want to do is get somewhere I can drop off my luggage as quickly as possible.

Re: LCBO Online Exclusives
The Sazerac Whiskey release was this morning at 8:30. They changed it from being an auction to first come first served this time for some reason.
Anywho, the online ordering system is still down at about 10.
