Damn.

I must say, Quebec has become quite the hot spot for craft beers.

I keep finding new and amazing stuff.

Yeah it got better after breweries decided that there was a world of beer outside of malty syrup dirty bathwater.

I'll check those out! Thanks!
- Scabeh

No problem - I trade a lot with people in different parts of the country (US). If you're ever in the states and looking for a good spot, I'll have one for you pretty much no matter where you go. Shoot me a PM if you're ever interested or want some info.

Bellwoods in Toronto is pretty decent

Or you can just take a weekend and go drinking in Montreal

Walking 3 minutes to buy this from the depanneur is one of the best things about the Montreal. The next best thing is the latex fetish parties on the streets.

Okay Lums.

It pisses me off when I have to wade through all these stupid off-topic posts.

I'm here for the up-to-date Marner news.

I'm assuming you are referring to POGS here.

Holy hell I haven't heard of or seen those in ages

But no, I'm talking about beer. It's not exactly the most legal thing

Wait, what?

You trade beer?

How do you ship it?

- TheMussel

Yes, but what about the other 48-50 weekends of the year?!

This seems like a bad deal
- TheMussel

I think that would be because it is. It probably also smells funny.

Seriously, Max - can we please stop with the insults of Marner's mother?

The only thing - the only franking thing - that you know about her is that she stood up and "did the floss" during the mothers' trip.

That's the sum total of what you know about her.

So drop the misogynist crap about Marner's mother. It makes you look like an arsehole.

??? Didnt see you stand up to defend Marner's dad when people call him crazy / a-hole / d-bag..??

Truth be told ....I could throw an empty beer bottle from my house and hit Bellwoods so I have no complaints in life about beer.

They did a colab with Evil Twin this summer ....awesome.

Evil Twin ...probably the best brewer of beers in all the lands.

Haha..

I’m guilty as anyone of that.

- Atomic Wedgie

Zip lock the cans or bottles, bubble wrap the poop out of them, Styrofoam the interior of the box, put some more padding in there, bring it to the post office and that's that. I've probably sent about 100 boxes and haven't had a single issue either on my end or something I've received. I've shipped about 18 cans & probably 6 750mls in one box, but that's the most I've done.

The shipping costs are the problem, but if you're looking to get something from a particular brewery you like that doesn't distribute then there's really no other way to do it.

They're very good, but I very much disagree with this. Trillium does some stuff with Bellwoods - BOLO

They did a Nanaimo stout here with them that was great.

Edit: Actually, now that I think of it, Evil Twin was in on that collab

My tops are: Toppling Goliath (Iowa) (they're in house stuff not distro), Tree House (MA) , Hill Farmstead (VT), Aslin (VA), Other Half (NY), J Wakefield (FL), Angry Chair (FL), Parish (LA) and Monkish (CA)

Marner ,ceci 50% retained + mid round pick(s) for dumba and zucker and let's move on

There's about an 8-year catalog of Paul Marner stories, all of which (anecdotally) tell the tale of him using his son's talents to inflate his own ego. He has a certain reputation in rinks in the Toronto area.

And then there's an animated .gif of his mother dancing at a Leafs game, and you are calling her white trash.

Am I missing something here, Max?

Do you know a damn thing about her other than the one animated .gif?

No Problem guys, ill go (frank) myself!

Ya, always going to be hard to compare. So many great breweries out there. I did a stint in Oregon last summer ...OMG - gotta be the brewpub capital of the universe. Every small town had two or three breweries. We drove the coast and every little poop hole fishing town had a brewery (or two) and the beer was always great.

My access to Evil Twin in Toronto has been pretty good. They're on tap at a few spots and they colab with my local favourites so I'm biased.

Blood Brothers in Toronto - another indisputable elite, IMHO.

It's too bad I'm never in the states but it's bound to happen at some point.

I do have that friend who does trips to Vermont to pick up beers over there from time to time.... I should join him...... My love for beer demands it.....

My girlfriend and my kids obviously disagree but WHAT DO THEY KNOW ABOUT LOVE?
