Bloody hell! The LCBO IPA aging program has succeeded again!

The Deschutes Haze Tron was canned December 2023!

Another new PEC brewery which started up last year is Dune Hopper, in Bloomfield, near Sandbanks.

Rumours have it that the Furnace Room Brewery in Georgetown has been sold to the Keenan’s Irish Pub chain. They have never had in-house food service at the brewery so I would think that this will lead to Keenan’s serving food there, and brewing beer to be served in the pubs. In recent months Furnace...

Ransack used to be my go-to IPA. Now I rarely buy it except to re-try it to see if it’s as good as it used to be. It never is.

I even had a saying “you can’t go wrong with a Ransack”

As far as beer quality Ransack used to be my go-to. I used to say ‘can’t go wrong with a ransack’. Now I rarely drink it because it’s not the same.

At risk of going out of business. F#ckin govt.

All 4 cans were April 18 to 20th

what is the canning date?

GLB has a variety four-pack of karmas sabro, citra, cryo, and geddon. I picked up a couple at the LCBO, I thought it may have been a brewery exclusive, so that was a nice surprise. And was glad to see it wasn’t citra, Simcoe and two others, it was citra and three others, including the Citrageddon 8...

Definitely need to check IPA dates. The Sweetwater doesn’t have a canned date, but a best before of Aug 26/23. Hopefully they have a good definition of best before

In an effort to cut down my beer costs, with a lot of Ontario beers at the LCBO approaching $4 a can, I looked at the Beer Store website and found a few good bargains. For $85 I got 30 tallcans ($2.83 per can) consisting of 6 Boneshaker, 6 Paulaner Salvator, 6 Sweetwater IPA, all rated near 90 on Ra...

Wow I can’t believe i started this thread over 5 years ago! I was lucky. A coworkers farm backs onto theirs so I heard about them at the beginning. I still make it up to their farm in Cheltenham 3 or 4 times a year

My local in Georgetown just got stock so I will check it out. Cheers!

It looks like Destihl are grateful dead fans based on their beer names!

Those are great to see Cass. It really underlines how little quality US craft beer the LCBO imports up here. I will definitely get some of both of those.

Founders Porter coming soon. $3.30 for 355ml bottle. Rated 100 on RateBeer.com
