I’m generally underwhelmed by Silversmith, but am intrigued. By this one.
have you tried Block Three Frankenstout? it's really, really good, maybe even better than Clifford Porter :D

I’ve only had it once. Good stuff. They had a very good IPA in 1 Up too that doesn’t seem to get the accolades I think it deserves. Good brewery.

Brunswick Bierworks is brewing most of these international beers that are regularly found domestically.

Been drinking a few of the Henderson and I gotta say it's one of the best around. Perfect balance of sweet dry and roasty.

Had a few Clifford and Export back to back and dare I say the Henderson was just a touch better IMO

I asked the LCBO and they said there is nothing in the pipelines right now for Utopias.

I just read something this morning on the 2019 vintage

CALABOGIE BREWING Brown Cow Milk Stout (Nitro can)

https://www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ ... 9dBi1GqRfM

and Beau's 2019-2020 Winter Mix Pack listed @ LCBO (Lug Tread, London Fog, Full Time IPA and Countdown Pale Ale)

https://www.lcbo.com/webapp/wcs/stores/ ... pack-13768

I guess all Beau's cares about is selling more cans of Lug Tread and Full Time IPA? to go from Burnt Rock, Channel Ocho, Dark Helmut, etc. to this is sad :(

Beau's has been pretty lame for a long time now. Overpriced, underwhelming.
