Just my honest opinion and it really doesn't mean a whole lot. I support the community of CP and those sponsored forums seem little outside of what CP is (maybe was) to me. I will support you for who you are and the fact that I have read your posts for a decade or so not because you pay for a thread. I like to help members out and have in the past. I do it because it feels like the right thing to do, support a friend.

I like the fact the community has rallied here to support one of their own. Again, best of luck. I think this is a really cool idea. The bank setting sounds awesome as well.

I don't drink beer but if I did I'd buy it from Hack&Lube.

Sorry, no Nufy beers yet, we were more Western Canada heavy on our first order. A lot of beers are regional or brewery only and don't get shipped out of province.

What about imperial stouts.

For when one just has to maximize alcohol and calorie consumption.

I saw an oatmeal stout and a banana bread beer, I would bet they have at least one imperial stout.

Do you guys carry the 750 ml bottles of Chimay?

Sponsoring threads now? What's next, is Locke going to have to start paying a membership fee to become CP's official tax accountant?

I'll be checking out this spot when I'm in town. Sponsored thread or no.

I had a quick look. I'm struggling myself to know everything we've got or try it out to offer recommendations. Calories are definitely a huge problem!

if including similar styles:
Minerva, TO OL Black Ball, Blindman Ichorous, 8 Wired Mighty, Nogne Aquavit Rye, Big Bad Baptist Barrel Aged

I have some, it's not too bad. I had a nephew that worked there, so that helps

All the best to your new venture H&L, hope it goes well. Next time I'm in town I'll stop by!

That is my buddy's favorite beer. I had it a couple times and it's interesting but not something I would have on a regular basis.

I'm not a beer drinker but like everyone else, I like supporting the CP community so I told 5 or 6 people I know who are beer drinkers to head over. One friend already asked for the website again as he was talking to a few friends about it. good luck on the new venture :-)

[OutOfTheCube]

Yep I have also passed on to my best beer snob/aficionado friend who loves the idea and will be stopping by sometime.

[Hemi-Cuda]

Oh my, I take Barlow home from work everyday and the Beer Vault caught my eye a few times, meant to take a look but always forgot. But the combination of an impressive selection and being owned by a CP mainstay will likely make me a regular customer. And if you ever get Last Best Dirty Bird in growlers, let me just say...

How is the mudshark porter?

[ken0042]

^^ And which Mudshark porter is it? I show a few varieties on my app.

Both of those are great beers if you like the strong stout/porter types.

Fair enough.


Its a niche market for sure but there are enough of us here that it might be worthwhile.

Could be worth looking into.

I will still drop by this afternoon for a look.

Hack&Lube you've got a great store, I met your partner and he knew who I was as soon as I asked for all 18 of your Alahambra's, Lol.

He also asked if I had any suggestions for other brands, you would do your best. Couldn't think of one then but now I remember a favourite of mine when I was posted in Germany.

Our favourite, back then, was Budweiser Budvar also known as Czechvar. This is really good Czech beer. I havn't had it since the late 90s.

If you manage this one... Oh my..

Thanks again for the beer! I'm literally sipping a bottle of it on my deck as I type this.
