It's refreshing seeing more West Coast IPA's releasing this year

WCIPAs are one of my favourite styles of beers because I love the malt backpone and piney bitterness. For the longest time, the WCIPA's available were Lone Pine and Head Stock, which are both really good beers. The past month or so, there's been a decent amount of west coast IPA's releasing:

  • Conjuration 22 from Third Moon
  • Robohop from GLB
  • Quantum Coast from Silversmith
  • Double Headstock from Nickel Brook
  • Peak to Peak from Collective Arts
  • Twin Pines from Sawdust City

I enjoy hazy IPA's (Third Moon is my favourite brewery), but I'm loving the influx of WCIPA's at the moment. If anyone has other suggestion on places I can find them, I'd love recommendations!

Best fun / best vibes brewery (or craft oriented pub) in Toronto?

I know this is really vague but heading to Toronto for a concert Sunday. I love True History and Godspeed but they never really scream excitement/communal atmosphere to me.

Haven't been to Bellwoods in a while but last I was it felt a bit pretentious.

I'm looking for a place that will be craft oriented, somewhat busy and a very welcoming, friendly vibe. Maybe Rorschach or Blood Brothers? Or likely some pubs I just don't know from living an hour outside Toronto?

What has Mascot done to Kensington's lineup/branding?! Interesting new release given they've abandoned the Kensington Market location - makes the branding feel extra authentic. (Spotted at Yonge & King LCBO)

More expired beer - from the brewery

Following up on a post somebody made about buying expired beer - here is some from Collective Arts, bought at the brewery.
It’s easy to jump on Flying Monkeys for stuff like this, but I think it’s a little more prevalent than we would like to admit. I didn’t notice the date code until I got home, so I didn’t have a chance to ask about it. I’ve recently seen a post from CA on social media about a ‘huge sale’ they’re having… I wonder if it’s for expired beer?

Selling homebrewing/craft beer/beer tasting book collection

Sadly, getting rid of my collection of homebrewing, craft beer, and beer tasting book collection. Posted on Kijiji and FB marketplace, but is there another Toronto site where I could see this go to a good homebrew/craft beer aficionado?

One day in Toronto

Hi everyone, my wife and I have one day in Toronto and would love to know which are the must visit breweries in your city? We are staying in Old Town but happy to travel around on transit/Uber. Blood Brothers and Bellwoods are the two currently on my list but would love to know which other ones are recommended! Cheers!
