man... one thing I really hate about living in ontario is the LCBO. gotta buy all our booze from one of 3 stores: the Beer Store, the LCBO, or the Wine Rack... and if you want something they don't provide, either you go to the states to buy it, or you pay for them to get some for themselves so that they can test it, and then you can buy it at a higher than normal price.

Also, the ontario government banned the sale of beers for $1 or under, because that way they can charge more, without directly giving the LCBO a bad rep.

Not to mention that since it's a government-run thing, they close early. So by the time you realize your party's low on booze, you're SOL.

Also, they don't have great selection... that's what I wanted to say to start this off.

eh, Phila brewing aint bad but its a far cry from it being Yards Jr. Nothing is bad but nothing is great either. Most of the Yards brews are still exactly the same after the new brewery opened except for the Tavern Ale is a little more boozy tasting.

A beer served in bottles made from stuffed animals has been criticised as "perverse" and "pushing the boundaries of acceptability".

The End of History, made by BrewDog of Fraserburgh, Aberdeenshire, is 55% and £500 a bottle.

The bottles have been made using seven dead stoats, four squirrels and a hare, said to be roadkill.

However, Advocates for Animals and Alcohol Focus Scotland both condemned the marketing.

BrewDog claims the beer is the world's strongest and most expensive.


Its co-founder James Watt said: "We want to show people there is an alternative to monolithic corporate beers, introduce them to a completely new approach to beer and elevate the status of beer in our culture."

Advocates for Animals policy director Libby Anderson told the BBC Scotland news website: "It's pointless and it's very negative to use dead animals when we should be celebrating live animals.

"This seems to be a perverse idea.

"It's just bad thinking about animals, people should learn to respect them, rather than using them for some stupid marketing gimmick."

She added: "I think the public would not waste £500 on something so gruesome and just ignore it."

Barbara O'Donnell, director of services at Alcohol Focus Scotland, said: "This is another example of this company pushing the boundaries of acceptability all in the pursuit of cheap marketing tactics."

Controversial BrewDog has previously been criticised for 32% and 41% strength beers.
