...did you read any of the posts or comprehend the issues presented by me or by others?
just wondering.

Left Field have been making some great beers lately. If you haven't tried them since their early days when all they were making was a few good but ordinary beers, you should give them another shot. That said, third place is way too high. Agreed. I was disappointed when I tried them early on, but th...

so why would a brewery like Nickelbrook, who must be hella in debt, want to stir any controversy and have a beer that's slightly sexist and possibly alienate potential customers? Just off-hand, how do we know they're in debt? Just an assumption that all/most craft breweries are? it's an assumption ...

I figured Bellwoods. Was more interested in #2 I guess. Side Launch eh? Surprising. I'd have given it to Burdock or Half Hours on Earth. Wonder what put Side Launch there. trying to remember the rest of the top 10. think Muddy York is #9. top 10: #1 Bellwoods #2 Side Launch #3 Left Field #4 Tooth a...

I figured Bellwoods. Was more interested in #2 I guess. Side Launch eh? Surprising. I'd have given it to Burdock or Half Hours on Earth. Wonder what put Side Launch there. they love Side Launch Mountain lager. they think it's a technically-great beer. not a loggerhead, so i have a hard time giving ...

i wish these guys luck.
i don't see it flying. they had a piece of the market back in 2011-12. competition's fierce and their beer's kinda gross.

what's also interesting is that the supposedly hypervigilant LCBO doesn't seem to have an issue with the Nickel Brook labels. this is the corporation that made Aphrodisiaque change its name in Ontario. lol. if someone lodged a complaint, i wonder if the LCBO would investigate it? (not suggesting tha...

"Everyone finds something offensive" is a dismisive argument that fails to aknowledge the merits of discussing an issue, not the conponents of the issue itself, and refuses to aknowlege the possibility of grey areas. You are right. NB has no formal obligation. It doesn't mean it's not a p...

If you do think ethics and sales are the same, build an argument to convince me otherwise. In this specific case until you become the majority your argument is essentially moot. The only way nickle brook knows you're the majority is a drop in sales that they can tie specifically to complaints regar...

the Ontario beer market is so incredibly crowded. 2017 will be the year that we get hammered from new Ontario breweries and crazy pushes from the larger US craft breweries. you'll see the Lagunitas and Goose Island battle. I expect Sierra Nevada to make a push. i think we'll get Dale's Pils on tap s...

anyways, hope you understand our point of view, even just slightly. or consider it. i definitely understand yours and i see what you're saying. i just disagree :) Good to see this discussion led you to reconsider what you were using as a signature - in response to someone else whose views you disag...

Trying to move on. Scanned the post and saw lots of sarcasm and examples of glb art work. Seemed rather witch huntish. If not then I apologize for that but as I said trying to move on so gave a quick reply and moved onto another subject....... Such as how good NB beer is. no witch hunt against you ...

Wow atomeyes turning this into a full blown witch hunt. see? i try to be nice for once, and this is what i get as a reply. there's no witch hunt. there's no us against you. if you don't want to hear what i or others think about this, just remember that you'll hear this msg again and again. this is ...

I've got all the sensitive people's nickers in a knot and I'm sorry that has affected Nickle Brooks thread however it's important to speak your mind as clearly as possible. I'll back out of this conversation now and allow one of my favorite breweries to have their Bar Towel thread back. Peace and j...

Discussing how misogyny is subtly ingrained in all aspects of society is an important conversation to have. People don't have to agree. They don't even have a responsibility to have those conversations if they don't want to. But if anyone wants to actually have that conversation, can we do it witho...
