Biere De Champagne

Hey Everyone, Looking for respectably priced bottles for a special event to be used along with champagne for a champagne greeting/toast. Does anyone know of any Ontario breweries that do one or know of any in stock at the LCBO or any importers that might have some or be able to get some in the next ...

I don't remember seeing this before, possibly new? SAINT ANDRE VIENNA LAGER LCBO 903898 | 6x341 mL bottle Price: $ 11.45 Pretty sure that this is the same beer that has been in stores for more than 5 years. Back then it was brewed by a company in Guelph, now it says Cool, so maybe it is somewhat new.

Not sure if anyone from the LCBO marketing department reads these threads, but once again they have screwed things up. The first year with the lottery is the way they should do things. What about people who have a job and can't use a phone at 10 AM on whatever day of the week this was. I drive a bus...

Not sure I noticed, but then again it is Trafalgar and really, no explanation would be necessary. They may release different styles, but they are not pushing limits and rarely meet general style expectations.

Fuck Beau's. Why? Because they release lots of different one offs? Because they are one of a handful of established craft breweries in Ontario to push the limits? Not my favourite brewery, but when you just up and slam a brewery on a beer site, you should be able to defend yourself. So just wonderi...

Sorry, but there is too much other great beer out there to buy that amount of anything!! Unless you are getting 100 people who would appreciate it together. I have over 150 bottles of various beers in my cellar and I don't know if and when I will ever drink them. But yes, she does look attractive f...

A coworker of mine did the same. Granted a male but his wife also drinks. They grabbed five cases of Rochefort 8 before t...

I would assume that the answer is breakage. If they have one bottle break, they can still the other 5. I'm not sure a still would be legal in-store, even if they wanted to make their own spirits out of unsold beer. Although it would make their lunch breaks interesting I'm sure. Ha, Ha, still SELL t...

Yes, understood. But if "official government policy" is to not break open sixes, why do they generate these single bottle codes, which facilitate doing just that? (If you're lucky enough to draw a better than average LCBO employee). It's almost as if, as you say, the system is smart enoug...

Hmmm...there's a rumour/news that Ontario got 1/2 of the 210 cases (6 x 750ml) of 3 Fonteinen Oude Gueze Armand & Tommy. Just waiting for the labeling to be sorted. Or has this already been discussed somewhere? This would be truly amazing. Anything 3 Fonteinen would be amazing actually. Fingers...

Well, it was a really nice dinner, but it was not a very good beer event. We got there about 6:30 and there might have been 8 others there already, more Jamie Kennedy fans or locals then beer snobs from what I could tell. It never got any busier than that before we left around 8:20. Waiter sat us an...

Granted, I am not a big lager fan and I understand it cost more to produce, but maybe some craft breweries could start to enter some of these categories so that Moosehead / Hop City don't clean up. Also, maybe I am wrong, but I seem to remember that sometime in the 90's in Quebec, Labatt sold a 50 C...

Fat Head's Head Hunter IPA - oh how I wish I could have been having this at the pub in Pittsburgh, but even at home and purchased in September, it is a great IPA!
