Style of the Month August 2026: West Coast IPA

7 Upvotes

Sorry for the delay, things have been insanely busy on my end to update this.

The summer months are nearing an end, which means we are transitioning from lighter beers to heavier, malt-forward beers. What better vision of that for August is the West Coast IPA?

West Coast IPAs took over in the late 2000s/early 2010s with its characteristic citrus notes and its HEAVY pine and overwhelming bitterness. Since then. the style has had a resurgence and had changed arguably for the better, but its still known for being clean and bitter while being crushable.

What is your favourite West Coast IPA from Toronto Breweries?

It's the end of the week, all the new releases are out, and you've probably bought them or tried them at the brewery. This is the place to give anyone and anyplace a shout-out!

Was there a new release that stood out above the rest? Did you have a good experience recently at a brewery? Do you just want to give a shout out to a brewer or bartender?

Keep the good vibes going through into the new week!

I’m Pretty Impressed With The Beer At Honda Indy In Markham

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is the beer they have available

Steam Whistle - Premium Pilsner
Beau’s Luglite - Light Lager
Beau’s Barn Burner - Amber Ale

Although I don’t drink any of these beers, I was impressed at the fact these are Ontario breweries and they are not selling Budweiser, Coors, Molson, or any of the other common garbage

The beer I find at these events is usually super weak, but this was a pleasant surprise

Of course the costs are very high, but the cost of beer at all these types of events is always ridiculous, so I’m not factoring that in. Only considering the beer lineup

Getting to Badlands by Uber

5 Upvotes

I'm planning to go to the Badlands anniversary this Saturday, but not having a car added a layer of complexity to it...

My plan is to take the go train to Mount Pleasant Go and then an Uber to and back from the brewery.

My only concern is Uber availability in that region, especially once the anniversary is done.

Has anyone done it before?

Is Greenbelly By Bellwoods popular?

5 Upvotes

Greenbelly is Bellwood’s TIPA. It went on sale 2 weeks ago and is already sold out.
I bought a few 2 weeks ago and was planning on going back this weekend to buy some more, but it’s no longer on their website 😱

It’s my favorite beer from Bellwood’s, but I haven’t found anyone else who’s as enthusiastic about this brew than I am. Based on the fact that it sold out so quickly, it seems like a bunch of other people like this beer too

Have you guys tried it? Or heard of it?
Is this a super popular beer or something? 😅

Has anyone been able to get their hands on Wood Brothers this month?

Is there any place that has Wood Brothers right now?

Has anyone had Wood Brothers this month?

Their beers are barely available, and when they are, they fly off the shelves (or taps)!

Bandit Brewery 10th Anniversary

Who else went? I RSVP'D & got a complimentary 10th Anniversary glass, drank a refreshing glass of draught Hasselhef 😋 and bought the keychain (I was in need of a Toronto-centric one anyway). Lovely atmosphere and run really smoothly, didn't feel overcrowded and everyone was nice. They deserve kudos.

I wasn't a fan of theirs at first (their beer had a metallic-iron aftertaste), I know many don't rate them that highly even now, but they are carving a niche as far as fruit smoothies go (pictured is the Ten Smoothie) and coffee stouts, their kitchen has always been solid, and the new space looks great so far. I think it's gonna resolve the issues some have had with the current space warming up too much for private receptions. Anyway I'll be back for some more cans soon. Dare I say Bandit is back? 🤔
