    I am visiting from Dallas, Texas this Wednesday till Monday for a wedding.

    Would love to bring some beers from Texas, and other to share or trade if anyone is interested?!
    (I own a bottle shop in Dallas, Lonestar Beverages)

    I am also looking to get some insight on where to shop (obviously lcbo is probably my only option, i think!) and also where to drink?!

    Cheers,

    Rick!

    Where to drink is easy:
    Bellwoods, Bar Hop, Beer Bistro, C'est What, WVRST and Volo. Everything you need to try in Ontario will be on draught at one of those places, and you can get bottled Cantillon at Beer Bistro.

    Thanks @liamt07!

    I am definitely planning on hitting up Bellwoods, Bar Hop.

    (If you could only pick 2 are these the best to try what best local and maybe some other solid offerings?)

    Is it worth it to even try and grab any beers to take back home? In my experience lcbo has usually been week when I've been there.

    Last time I visited was about a year ago.

    If I had to pick two, I'd say some combination of Bellwoods, Bar Hop and Volo.

    There might be one or two things in the LCBO that are decent, but you could always stop by the bottle shop that Bellwoods has and grab a few bottles of whatever they have on sale at that time ( http://bellwoodsbrewery.com/product-category/bottleshop/ )

    Now, bring me some barrel aged Jester King or I will rescind my advice.

    No such thing brother.
    But I can bring some OG Black Metal or anything else you might want.
