Had my bottle of "no sleep..." about 3 months ago, also a new style for me. Took a few sips to get into it, but by the end I was loving it.

Maybe it's just not that good, but you want to like it cause neck beards have told you Mikeller can do no wrong or because it cost you 17 bucks...I don't know but if it smells and tastes like shit, its probably shit... Is the price on this supposed to be $17? I saw it on the shelf, in one Guelph lc...

When you look at the variety of beers people are missing, you'd think we've had it pretty good! Pretty much all import beers though...maybe in another 5 years or so we'll be lamenting more Ontario beers we can no longer get ;) I'd be thrilled to get Great Lakes 25th anniversary RIS or Lake Effect b...

For branded beer glasses I've bought some off eBay. Anyone know where to get some of these at a good price: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41YZou-ZgnL._SY300_.jpg I bought a 2pack of those exact glasses from Home Outfitters about two years ago for something like $16 or so. Great whisky glass...

Just branded, or something like this: http://i.imgur.com/p5LDeTXl.jpg I'm giving these away. If you are looking for branded stuff, bigger "Craft" bars like Beertown will sell any branded glass for ~$5 (last I checked). You can go to the source (breweries) or: http://torontobrewing.ca/inde...

Some great looking stuff on here....so glad the Rochefort 10 is back, must stock up. And glad to see the Smuttynose on here. Interestingly, a solid mix of reasonably priced vs overly priced stuff this time around. Only a couple on there that I would completely skip over due to price.
