That has no chunks, and is a nice IPA. You’re thinking of Sparklepuff.

Good ,usually my style but after a string of IPA it’s lacking something .

Where can I find a good selection of craft beers in the GTA? Preferably Toronto.
Most LCBOs have a decent selection. In Toronto, there’s GLB out near Sherway Gardens, Amsterdam in Leaside, and a few new small ones in the west end Bellwood’s, Junction, etc. I’ve only been to GLB and Amsterdam.
As stated, some LCBOs have a nice selection and you can also find the odd grocery with decent craft selections as well (Zehrs, Loblaws, Fortinos, some Metros; selection differs from store to store).
In the west end you can -hit up about 5-6 craft brewers pretty easily on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon as there are a few that are fairly close to each other.
Stockyards (Junction Brewing, Rainhard Brewing, and Shacklands Brewing are all 30 seconds apart-by foot) then you can head to Etobicoke (15 minutes away by car) to Great Lakes Brewery and Black Oak Brewery (down near Islington and QEW).
Probably have at least 20-25 different beer varieties available between these 5 breweries (most of which you won't find in the LCBO or grocery).
Fresh selection from Collective Arts and Great Lakes! Good times this weekend.

If you’re looking for crafts, I’d suggest the LCBO. They usually have a good selection.
If you look at the Ontario Craft Brewers they have a beer finder.

There are also a few apps you can get for your phone that also have beer finders. Check out Untappd, Beer Advocate or Rate Beer.

Nice - what's your favourite? Which one do you think is most smooth/smokey/caramel versus spicy?
I tried the Woodford Reserve first and now on the Elijah Craig. I'm finding the Elijah Craig more spicy than the Woodford - do you get that note difference between these two? How do the others stack up?
I am a sucker for sampler packs as it makes the decisions with all the choices out there easier.
I haven't had Wellington beer in years, last time it was only sold in soda pop bottles.
Like the citrusey Kickin Back most of all.

My good friend showed up at the hospital to say hi to the baby. Before you know it we’re down the street having some Sapporo pints. It’s not bad on tap but I hate it out of a bottle/can.
Poor mom, dealing with a new born and a slightly tipsy dad. Sorry babe.
I even had a cigar after 2 yrs smoke free. Cigars don’t count.. do they?
Edit: thank you gents for the recommendations on the craft beers.. think I’ll go for a drive next week and get me some.
This was good . I think I’ll stock this one regularly but had stuff floating around? Like yeast?, and when it sits in glass I keep seeing like a Petri dish with circular bacteria growth (white). Maybe I’m seeing things Lol oh well ,feeling pretty good after the 2nd one.
Taste like collective arts IPA,
I’m rambling; I’ll shut up now.

A few recent brews. All would warrant future purchases.

2 weeks in Alberta, picked this craft brew from Half Hitch Cochrane AB, Fire N Fury red ale , I was drawn to the humorous story on the can. The beer is also excellent.
