some local citzens talking about them. Try anything? more tart than Sonnen?

I haven't tried yet. Need to clear some space in the fridge/cellar first but they are on my radar.

I think it's safe to say that the wholesale pricing change will not give a cut to what the customer pays. I would assume not in most cases, I would expect the measure is meant to improve profitability for bars and restaurants not reduce the cost to the customer - particularly given the timing. I'd ...

The other lagers are named "mystery" so maybe made by different breweries? I didn't ask but I wasn't really bothered about it. I saw that on the website menu and was like WTF? I wonder if that means it's some secret contractor, or if it rotates and they just don't bother to tell you who m...

We did the Indie Advent calendar again this year. Indie is probably one of only a handful of breweries I'd trust to give me 24 random beers these days!

Sparrow is getting closer to reopening, not sure how wide their distribution will be but they will at least be available Cambridge is close enough I will probably end up making the drive up at some point. Had planned to stop in in September on the way to a camping trip but they weren't brewing at t...

I think the vast majority of breweries in Ontario never got talked about before the pandemic primarily for two reasons: 1. most of them operate mainly for locals - not many offered shipping in the past 2. their beer may be good but not worth talking about There are breweries that come up in convers...

Is industry promotional event defined anywhere? I'm curious about whether the layperson interpretation (e.g. beer festivals and other events with a license can sell beer to go) matches the potential legal interpretations (e.g. they can only do this if the event license holder is the same as the reta...

Looks like Fenelon Falls is available at the Summerhill LCBO. 762 is near my family cottage and I've had some. They've got some work to do. I can pick you up one next time I'm there, but that won't be until springtime now. Thanks Cass! 762 would be helpful. It is a bit of a tough one in that it's j...

Jordan and Robin talked a fair bit about it on one of the recent Ontario Craft Beer podcasts. They described it as more a "restructuring" for now. It was an interesting mix of facts (I assume taken from the filing as I haven't read it myself) and some knowledgeable speculation about the na...

In the foreseeable future, I see no downside to discovering more of our great province...I've probably tried maybe a third of the breweries here. I've been working on trying a beer from every Ontario brewery and I'm down to 46 untried of 334 brick and mortar breweries currently open. (per my spread...

Not really. We are still actively avoiding the TTC, crowds, and indoor spaces. We did some camping trips and managed to include several breweries for beer to go, and a handful of patios that felt safe /were pretty much empty. Froze our butts off at one brewery in October - It had been snowing not to...

Short of full on moving the forum to a different platform - Is there a way to auto-post new threads to Facebook/Twitter to drive traffic here?

I do wonder though if that would do much. People have enough other outlets via social media to talk about beer on platforms they are already using.

So I am a masochist and I am once again trying to get a beer from every Ontario brewery. :D They keep opening new breweries and there are currently 47 that I have not tried (not counting contract breweries). Anyone able to connect me with some of these, or point me to where I can find them? Cheers! ...
