I have a friend who is staying near Kingston this week and driving home on Saturday June 1 and asked me today what bucket list beers do I want that may not be sold in the US (or Maryland where we're from), that might be sold in Kingston area? Is Cantillon bottles sold up there in bottle shops in that general area? I appreciate him reaching out to me, and don't want to send him on crazy excursions to find beers, but any recommendations would be welcome. Maybe even a really well respected local brewery as well?
No Cantillon but there is some good brewery options; Fine Balance Brewing (Amazing) Daft Brewing (Great) Skeleton Park Brewery The Kingston Brewing Company Riverhead Brewery Hard Way Cider Company MacKinnon Brothers Brewing (Bath, ON) Cheers!
Cam't help eith tha Cantillon search, but my favorite one from the area is Fine Balance. Kingston Brewing Co has (or used to have, last time I was there was last fall) a great bottle shop with beers from all over Ontario. Badlands, Wood Brothers, Bellwoods, Third Moon, Godspeed and more.
Great, thank you both for the feedback. I’ll see if he can find some Fine Balance to bring back home.
Is he driving through Toronto? If so, BarVolo might have some Cantillon to go in their bottle shop on College street. Likely only the three ‘shelfies’ though. Fine Balance is decent. If you know his route, I might be able to suggest a couple good easy stops. Cheers.
