The new beers were faaaaaaamtastic. Maybe cause I'm getting older and crotchety(er) but I almost can't handle the crowds there on a random Sunday afternoon. After being ignored, we sent my wife to the bar to get our beers...

Russian River, my favorite so far. Got introduced to this from CraftBeerKings. And then i went to a couple of beer fests and I have been convinced sine then this is my beer ;)

Fortunately they are backed by Black Oak (which means that Black Oak should be making better beer), unfortunately, lack of distribution will hurt them.........Canny Man was in a lot of LCBO stores, but for whatever reason, The Wayward Son is in far fewer. I enjoyed Canny Man (did it really need to be a 750ml bottle?) but didn't get any of the Wayward Son aside from a sample at the brewery. Only a handful of the T.O stores picked it up and the guys say there is none left at the brewery. But, there will be two others coming out in the next 6 months.

Most of the brewers in Canada need better distribution, not just these guys. I've got bottles of both beers in the cellar, but I resent having to drive to Toronto to get them because Ottawa takes it's effing sweet time in bringing some of these in, if at all.
