collective arts ipa 8 starting to show inventory they must have done multiple can runs: just bought a couple dated 3/1/19, heard other people bought with late December dates... good news, since I was worried LCBO stock would be from the original November run - I'm not a fan of >month old IPAs thank...

I did the three year juggernaut last Christmas. The 2015 was still the best vintage, the 2016 is significantly more boozy, and 2017 was good, but more bitter and less booze. Looking forward to the 2018, but with losing their head brewer, I wonder what 2019 holds for SCA..? SCA had the 2017 and 2018...

Lickenhole Im told is now on permanent list of suppliers for those 2 cans. Don't know what they had to do to get that off the bat

I always check the dates on beer that I buy. If a hoppy beer is more than a month since packaging, I don't buy it. Their beer is changing in quality for the worse, unfortunately.

you are right again, Liam

That Butte Released June 2017. I guess left over bottles. Still should be good.

Quebec was the same in the 70s. December you would be in a half hour lineup, or more. Buying beer at the corner store was such a relief.

There is a sub market for sweet stuff. AT Merit which does a bunch of sweets, even the IPA is tasting sweet

I agree with Gedge's review above based on my Sunday visit, rather than the person who suddenly appeared after him and has just posted the 1 time with a lot of love for this place. I would give it a year and see if I would visit again.

i find the ir batting average has fallen below the Mendoza line in 2018

Hitting stores mid-September:

based on many years' experience: beginning of September through November, with at least one no-show

Haven't gone for several years, and even then it was morphing into an exhibition just of Quebec one-offs. Still make at least one trip to Montreal a year.
