Re: New Arrivals at LCBO & TBS

Cornwall in Oakville. You should be able to check inventory on LCBO website. Managed to grab both beers and some Orval at the Bloor Kingsway and Weston stores. Thanks for the heads up, though! There were only a few Bible Belts and less than a dozen Oh Fudges left when I went, and I grabbed the last...

Re: Rainhard Brewing

Hop Cone Syndrome has made its return - first time since 2017, I think? - and it is drinking beautifully. Still available online and in the bottle shop. Well worth grabbing IMO.

Sounds like a good option for the Northern Buck, and I believe Milos sells this and the Root Beer at his pub, so I will give it a shot. Thanks for the heads up.

Re: Storm Stayed

how much should it cost? in your opinion of course I like Storm Stayed, I really do. They are probably the second best brewery in London. Their West Coast IPAs/DIPAs, lagers, and porters/stouts are usually excellent. And the taproom and patio are awesome places to have a beer. But at a price point ...

Re: What're you drinking right now?

Tell us about the "New England Style" theme here. I heard about the Octopus and was curious. What did you think? It's the first I've heard of Canuck being played this way too. Like, is that really necessary? Or is it so good I shouldn't just roll my eyes? Well, as a crusty cynic who is st...

Re: Belgian Beer Discovery Box

I picked up the Belgian Discovery Box as well, what a great selection of beers - I'm looking forward to trying them all. I enjoyed trying the Saison Dupont Cuvée and Oude Geuze Boon for the first time. Both very good beers. The Gouden Carolus selections have been here many times before but I never ...
