From reading the last Session thread, is it correct to assume that you can sample as many beers as you want during the day? Pardon my noobness please.

New LCBO in Whitby (74 Thickson Rd. S.)

I still have 3 bottles of this stuff from last year's run. Can't wait to crack one open on New Years Eve and see how it has changed!
