I see two listings on LCBO.com as coming soon. Reached out to HelloLCBO and they said 'coming soon and keep an eye on the website'. Wondering if anyone else here knows when these are getting dropped?

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout (1 Bottle Limit) | LCBO

Goose Island Bourbon County Stout Banana Foster (1 Bottle Limit) | LCBO

TIA

Anyone been here recently? Do they still have a tap room?

Anyone had their beers yet? $9/bottle is high IMO. Any feedback?

Hi r/torontocraftbeer,

A while ago I broke a friend's Kensington Brewing Company cup and I am trying my best to obtain a new one to replace it. It was part of a glass set and looks like this based off of their 'Bring Your Own Seltzer' drinks. The one I'm looking to replace is this Lavender & Peach one in particular. I can't find any pictures of the full glass set anymore but here's another found on google

Knowing that they closed down a while ago, I was able to find their merch shop online still active. However, after making a purchase there and being charged, the order never went through, and it looks like the shop is no longer available (I eventually charged back my card as well).

I've also tried contacting Mascot Brewery, but got no response from their contact page.

Last ditch effort was contacting some ex-KBCo employees on LinkedIn, but none of them had any leads on obtaining the glass.

My next idea was to try work with someone who may be able to recreate the glass, but before that, I'd like to reach out to this community and see if anyone has ANY ideas or leads on obtaining this glass. It would mean a lot to me and my quest to replacing the glass I broke.

Thanks!

It's the weekend!

Getting over a cold and I ve craving a good stout for the weekend. Before my go to was Muddy York but they up and left. What do you guys recommend in the east end?

Hi there. Does anyone know of any breweries/pubs that have at least one lactose-free imperial stout on tap? Bottles/cans are also cool. Bonus points if it's in east end and has vegan food options!

I'm trying to find a spot for my bday this weekend, and all I want is a reeeally good stout.

Rorschach was my original option. They had one on their brewpub menu until recently. Blood Brothers doesn't seem to have any on tap right now, and Bellwoods only has Hellwoods (which isn't for me). Left Field has Blackburne Ginger Snap, which is okay but I prefer more traditional imperials.

Also maybe it's just me, but I feel like the number of stout options available by mid-Nov have dried up a bit in recent years. I'm hoping to see more throughout the colder months.

Halo previously released a fancy barrel-aged sour to some notoriety on this subreddit. They've just released two more varieties.

I do not have a connection to the brewery. I do like this format (unbreakable and small), and wish more breweries did it for their fancy stuff.

Hello. I've just discovered that I am quite gluten intollerant. This wouldn't suck as hard except I LOVE CRAFT BEER! Cider is decent. But are there any actually gluten free beers these days? Extra points if they can be shipped Ontario wide. Thanks for any suggestions.

Saw this in another sub and figured it might be a fun one for here. I got Peacharine all day, can’t make a bad beer with it.

It's the weekend!

Hello

Has anyone hear/seen anything on an availability date for Double Tempest past year’s postings make it difficult.

I like it and will likely buy up a case again just wondering when to make the trip in.

Cheers

Hi Craft Beer Drinkers,

As we head into the Holidays, it's around that time that pre-orders are out for advent calendars! If there's any I am missing, please comment below with the link so I can add it to the table.

Some notes for advent calendars

• Collective Arts has already SOLD OUT, so I left them out of it
• If you are looking for breweries such as Third Moon, Willibald, Badlands etc., then I recommend going with Small Batch Dispatch, Wheeled Brew, and the Cookie Bar. They are more expensive, but you get what you pay for.
• Great Lakes Brewery has one every year, but it hasn't been announced
• There are some breweries that have Gift Packs in the LCBO as well, including Amsterdam, Bellwoods, Collective Arts, Beau's, and Silversmith. Grain & Grit started brewing their Winter Stouts (white and regular stouts with A LOT of candy canes thrown in), and should be out early December.

Are you looking for beer recommendations? Is your favourite brewery releasing a new beer? Want to share pictures from a recent trip? Or just want to ask general questions? This is the place to do it!

It's the weekend!

I grabbed a bunch of Badlands hoppy IPA in 4-packs.

• November DIPA
• More!
• Textbook
• Riri
• Lumber for Ale
• Dock 13927

Does anyone want to split a 4-pack - I can offer to sell 1 or 2 beer. I'm located in Etobicoke (Bloor/Islington)

Hey everyone!

Long time fan of Bellwoods and have been drinking and cellaring (some) of their beers for over 10 years now. I recently reorganized all the ones in my cellar and noticed that I am missing a few of the Barn Owls. I was wondering if anyone happened to have them if they would be open to trade or sell them next time that I am in TO! I'm from upstate NY so I always try to get up a few times of the year.

I am currently missing BO 20, 21, & 24. Appreciate any help locating a couple of each!

Disappointed to receive an email from Steam Whistle this week announcing they are ending their home delivery service. Some of the best value and freshest beer available (30 bottles for $62 with free shipping).

I had to laugh at the wording of their email blast, in which they tried to frame the decision as a positive thing.

I'm a San Francisco Bay Area beer lover who travels often to Toronto for work; by this point I've visited the most discussed spots in town -- Bellwood, Blood Brothers, Godspeed, etc -- so I'm looking for some deeper cuts.

What does that mean to me? I'm thinking:

• Breweries with meh-to-OK beer but with a great space, good people, in a fun area, or interesting food?
• Great beer bars? Strange beer bars?
• Best Ontario-brewed beers beyond Toronto...and where to find them?

Bonus points for anything vaguely transit friendly. Thanks!

EDIT: Thanks, everyone, for really thoughtful and intriguing replies -- I've got a ton on new places to explore!
