Heimdallr Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I love beer. I make it one of my personal missions to support Canadian microbrews as well as craft brewers from afar. I can't make the tasting tonight, but good to know you guys exist. Quote
Nick0Danger Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 As long as you dont try to sell the wild rose brewery crap, they should just pack there crap up already. Quote
LynnF Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Well Kyle...not a beer lover but I do love my wine. And Zyn also has an AMAZING selection of wine at great prices. I've met Kyle (Kyle...I'm the blonde that was looking for the Frog's Leap Cab that runs the wine meetup group) and I can tell you that these guys run an A-1 establishment - and I've been to every single one in Calgary to compare. It's worth a couple of hours of your time to explore if you haven't already. I think I might have to try some of them beers one day Quote
bigbowtrout Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Did I hear him say free beer for the Mods and Admin??? MMMMMMM BEER Quote
birchy Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 As long as you dont try to sell the wild rose brewery crap, they should just pack there crap up already. I love Wild Rose Brewery, and a friend of mine is their Brewmaster. You don't like ANY of their beers? I find that surprising! Quote

Wanny Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I love Wild Rose Brewery, and a friend of mine is their Brewmaster. You don't like ANY of their beers? I find that surprising!

PeteZahut Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Tonight we are hosting Dieu de Ciel from Quebec I tried Dieu de Ciel for the first time at Cilantro a couple of weeks ago and it was outstanding. I wish I could be there tonight but glad to know about this place. Quote

ladystrange Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 im not a big fan of the run of the mill beer. i will however go out of my way to try interesting and different beers from around the world if you wouldnt mind (if the mods let you) put your tasting notices up a little sooner, that would be great because i would really like to come and try one out. sadly i dont get to read the forum until i get home Quote

I had a case of Blackheart that I bought in Dawson Creek a couple weeks ago. It was a pretty decent Oatmeal Stout actually. Quote
Teck71 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 can't be eto the tasting but will surely check you out to see if you got Younger's Tartan. that a wee bit of heaven in my books Quote
walker1 Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 I try all beer and enjoy most. I always revert back to my favorite.........................Alexander Keith's..............................must be the Maritimer in me. Bloom can attest to my love of Vitamin K!!!! Actually, will enjoy a few tonight watching the Habs as there is a good chance it is their last game!!!!!!!! Will try to get down for a taste some other time. Thanks for the offer. Thanks God I exercise as I do like beer!!!!! Quote

COME CHECK US OUT 1543 17th ave S.E. I have honestly never tried a beer I like. I guess my problem stems from a lack of binge drinking in University that should of killed off those taste buds... I just don't get the beer fixation. You can't drink it when tubing as you will be spending more time eliminating the beer than you do fishing... Quote
Heimdallr Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 Went in there this afternoon and they definitely have the biggest beer selection I've seen. Kyle and the rest of the staff were very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend checking the place out. Quote
Taco Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 best beer in the world......free and here, if I'm bein' real picky......cold Quote
ladystrange Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 best beer in the world......free and here, if I'm bein' real picky......cold WOW, those are some serious high standards. i'm just happy my booze is wet Quote
