ollie Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Tried this for the first time at the new Corner Bar & Grill on Richmond a couple weeks ago. Pretty good stuff. I'll have to pick up a growler, the brewery is ridiculously close to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatpatguy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I like the Natural Blonde, but I'm really sad to see the Heritage and Scotch Irish brands disappear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberdinghy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Yeah...I'm going to miss those too...especially the stubby bottles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I like the Natural Blonde, but I'm really sad to see the Heritage and Scotch Irish brands disappear Yeah I was wondering about that. Did Kichesippi buy out Heritage completely and their beers are no more? I dug the Heritage beers but was always disappointed that they did such a shit job of marketing them in local bars.

thatpatguy Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 yeah.. what Heritage had in terms of brewing talent they lacked in terms of marketing talentfrom what I've been able to determine, Heritage and their brands are gone, purchased outright by Kichesippi. After that purchase Kichesippi then bought Scotch Irish. What is weird though is that the original Scotch Irish owners didn't sell their brands (so I'm not sure what exactly they sold) and will continue to produce them, but for the Toronto market.I got all that from these articles:http://www.apt613.ca/2011/01/24/scotch-irish-brewing-co-gets-the-kichesippi-treatment/http://www.bartowel.com/?p=1932http://www.canadianbeernews.com/2010/12/10/kichesippi-taking-over-heritage-brewing/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I picked up a couple of growlers (64 oz). They are $14.75 each, $4.00 of that being deposit and are filled right before your eyes. Tastes very fresh, which makes all the difference. I'll be back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Aw, that's too bad. It did take a few minutes to fill each one properly so maybe it was slowing them down?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
