in addition to all mentioned above, I'd recommend a few places, focusing on the South End: I'll second the recommendation of Picco. Great pizza, great ice cream, great beer. The Five Horses Tavern has a decent list, though the location on Columbus closes early (11 or 12 pm) as it is in a somewhat re...

Rochefort 10 is in stock at the SAQ (and apparently has been for a few weeks). There is still stock at the location on du Plateau. Get it while it lasts. The price is pretty good too at $4.45 a bottle.

no problem cfrancis. When I saw the other cases of Garrison at the Beacon Hill store, I knew it had to be yours! Hopefully Specialty Services doesn't make this shipping without paperwork thing a regular practice...

Just thought I would let everyone know that the SAQ once again has Rochefort 8 in stock. I grabbed six from the de la Carriere location today and they had a bunch more on the shelves. A few other stores in the area also appear to have renewed stock...

Winter Warmers?

Any word on the anticipated contents of the winter warmers release? I believe it is usually made public around this time.

Agent for Kasteel?

Does anyone know if there is an agent for Brouwerij Van Honsebrouck/Kasteel in Ontario? I'd like to get my hands on this - Quebec Biere is a possibility, but I'd like to 'keep it in the province' if possible and support the agents here.

Thanks

I must say that BdT has quickly become my favorite beer destination in the Ottawa area. There are wonderful house brews and great Quebec Micros available as well. Perhaps most important for me is the stellar service and passion for beer exhibited by many of the staff. I am a repeat customer and do n...

First Post! I just stumbled across this forum - a fantastic resource for those of us inclined to drink too much I must say. I would be interested in splitting somelthing like: Val Dieu Grand Cru, Carolus Cuvée de L'Empereur, Kasteel Brune or Délirium Nocturnum.
