Nice - the Golden is new to us, and I really liked the Ruby last year. |

The Golden must have been here at some point last year, 'cause I rated it (6/14/2008)!?! Maybe in singles? I do agree about the Ruby Red, though - definitely one of their best.

Yeah, I have a rating for it too.

St. Peter's Golden Ale was part of the summer 2008 release.
It appears that Maredsous have redisgned their packaging since last year. The new glass is a shorter chalice style in comparison to the previous one and it is very sharp.
Has anyone seen the design of this years' Hobgoblin t-shirt? Anyone know whether the resemblence of the Wychwood characters to the characters of Discworld is 'intentional'?

Wonder if we'll get the Triple and Radieuse or 9 (based on the contents of Leffe gift packs I've seen listed elsewhere)? |
Could also the their new Christmas Ale... or the Vieille Cuvée, which I like more then the Radieuse.
Just as long as it isnt a cheap attempt to dunk their Ruby on us poor unsuspecting Canadians...

D'oh - you're right, I was looking at the St Peter's Suffolk Gold on Ratebeer, which I haven't had.
Ah well, I also liked the Golden Ale, so I might pick up a set anyway. |

Noticed this too! Wasn't overly impressed with their glass before, but grabbed one of these. A very nice package, nice looking bottles and labels...and a great glass. Think of a Westmalle type stem on the chalice....solid. |

Also grabbed the Innis and Gunn pack...decent glass, and I enjoy their beers enough to give 'em a go.
Couldn't resist a cheesy buy too...don't think it's on the lsit on the first page...but there is a Faxe Premium Gift Pack:
LCBO #131771
You get a 1 litre can and a heavy duty 1 litre mug. Don't recall ever having the Faxe premium...but not expecting anything, I just couldn't resist the massive mug. |

| At first I was pissed that there were no new packs... now I realize there's no more room on my beer glass shelf, so it's for the best. I'll probably pick up the St. Peter's, I also loved the Ruby Red, one of the biggest hits for me last year. |

You know only too well what it is like to pass off the Ruby on an unexpecting person.  |
