Some beer availability hints

premium

Toby’s (pub and liquor store) on Commercial Dr. has a small selection of craft beers (20-30), but among them some that I haven’t seen much around:

Fort Garry Munich Eisbock
Phillips/Garrison Mash-Up Baltic Porter
Whistler Chocolate Winter Dunkel
...

They also have quite a few Old Cellar Dweller (without the 1-bottle limit of Viti’s).
The attendant says that they should also have a box of Woolly Bugger; better to call the boss first...

Look for Lighthouse’s Belgian Black in Vancouver next week too ~$8 for 650ml bomber. I’m pretty excited to try this...



Its like the BC beer scene took a hit of steroids on New Years Eve. Crazy the number of releases we’re seeing... and add the 4 Hoyne Brewing beers too (Bock, PA, Pils and IPA)

I can’t wait to take a trip to Victoria and partake of the local scene there.

Sounds like things are setting a really good example for the rest of Canada.

Victoria only has ~9 beer releases in the next 4 weeks.

Phillips/Garrison Mash-Up Baltic Porter this is in Alberta

It is also terrible IMO.

Lol! Never had it but assumed it would not be great. I’ll end up getting a bottle anyway me thinks unless someone bring a bottle to the tasting! :

I’m trying to spread the purchases between my debit and credit cards so not to shock my wife.

Dave - Did you see the Brooklyn Black Ops at Cook Street? $33/btl.

Does he have his own place or is he contracting somewhere? I’d love to trip over these at some point before I leave.

own place near Driftwood in the Rock Bay industrial park. renting equipment from the Strath (Hugo’s old stuff)

I’ve been seeing tweets from Vancouver about Hoyne beers becoming available.
