    Hi Everyone:

    Been a minute since I've been on here, but I have a trip upcoming to Toronto and Montreal and thought to log in and see what I should be looking for up there. I live in Florence Mass now, but last time I was on here I was living in Allston. I've traded Marty's Big Buys (RIP) for Cooper's Corner, Aeronaut for Building 8, and Deep Ellum for Dirty Truth. Did my time as BA fest volunteer and attendee in the 00s. Glad to see this place is still up and running. Looking forward to learning.

    This site does a great job with members giving travel advice. If you've forgotten your way here since your last log-on, here's where you need to post to get some help. https://www.beeradvocate.com/community/forums/canada.19/

    By the way, welcome back. I hope you have a successful and fun trip.

    Welcome back @richparr79 ! I haven't been to Canada in some time, but would love to hear what you end up enjoying on your trip.

    Based on what I've enjoyed here from Canada, Dieu du Ciel! in Montreal would be my first craft beer stop.

    Cheers!

    I agree with the recommendation for Dieu du Ciel, but everyone has heard of that one. Maybe a bit more obscure is a brewery called Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery that used to distribute here in Michigan that brews a great IPA called Smashbomb Atomic IPA and a Chocolate Milk Stout called The Chocolate Manifesto. Barrie doesn't look like it's close to your itinerary, but if you see any of their stuff in stores, I think it's a safe purchase.

    Welcome back! I too am returning after a brief hiatus. Not a hiatus from tasty beers, just logging all of them in. I have been keeping notes over the years though, so I will, at some point, go back in and add the ones I am missing.
