I thought I'd read that the Vanilla Bean Porter was due to be available at the Black Tomato sometime this week? I called this evening and they still haven't received it nor have ever heard of it.

Perry: Please don't let this beer skip over Ottawa. We're your biggest supporters!!!

Why import beer competition for the struggling Ontario micro market?Why not promote Scotch Irish Sgt. Major? We don't need to look south of the border for a nicely hopped beer.

Besides, my bottle isnt corked. It's a capped 25cl stubby. And according to the post above, Inbev (previously Interbrew) acquired the brewery in 1991, so the chances this lambic is traditional is good in my opinion. I'll taste it in april and let you guys know. If anyone is in Ottawa then, drop me ...

Has Perry made an appearance with the Tsarina? Just wondering if the BeerBus missed Ottawa...

The most comical marketing line in a good, long while.

Nortel Networks was a sponsor back in 2000, no?

Remember when Wolfgang first became widely available at the LCBO and they were running a Vacation contest just prior to Christmas 2004? Well - I came home to a 3rd place prize of a large Wolfgang t-shirt. I just thought it was odd that they sent out large shirts to beer lovers and not XL? Maybe Wolf...

Cheque is in the mail, Perry.

I've heard a rumour that Esprit is being shopped around. Is this true? I live in Ottawa and doubt I would be the first to hear such a thing.

I've heard that the Ottawa stop of the Beer Store's crummy festival has been cancelled. What was the reason for this? Not that I really will miss the 15 swill-pushers and only 3 true micros... but am I being left to educate the whole city regarding the malt-ernate lifestyle??? I already found it rid...

I love the stuff.

Hopefully we'll get the ESB before they expire this time around!!!

Hey LCBO you listening? Nevermind. I know you're never listening.

Have you boys franchised? :wink: I visited the Hunt Club & Merivale LCBO, here in Ottawa - and they had the Sgt. Major on both the "Out of Province" shelf and on display as part of the "Oh la la... France" display. You suffering an identity conflict in the Ottawa Valley, Perr...

Come pick-up your keg!

Merry Christmas...

Todd in Ottawa

Ottawa seems to be stocked with the Sgt.

I gleefully fled with two 6-packs...

Man, I love how my new job crosses a LCBO on the way home.

The Sgt. Stocking Stuffer will undoubtably be a SUCCESS!!!

Any of you boys coming up to cheer on the Argos on Sunday? Let me know.

I'm already meeting up with some defunct-fans of the Alouette squad - likely at the Manx:
