It's been a long time since Gouden Carolus has been available here It has been far, far too long since it was last at the LCBO; dug through my notes to see which one it was the 'BO used to carry, and what I have is far too skimpy to rely upon, esp. as the ABV (7.5%) doesn't match the current offeri...

...other than the beer, nothing special to really go back for. Not sure the beer is all that really worth going back for; used to love the Tankhouse, but the last few I had (about a year or so ago) weren't up to snuff. Went to the brewpub during Doors Open with a friend and both of us found the bee...

Hey Peter, would there be any chance of seeing the Heather Ale in single bottle format again?

Used to have the Fraoch Heather Ale whenever it turned up at the LCBO, and then tried the gift packs a couple of times when they first floated around several years ago. The Heather Ale (when relatively fresh) is a rather nice beer with a lovely floral nose. Would likely still be buying it today if i...

Would love to get some Third Coast. Would love to get some Expedition too, but doubt it'll be available given that it's only around from October to March... :cry:

I think most of the beers have been identified already, but here is the official spring release from the LCBO: Duchy Originals Organic Ale Atlantic au Pineau Trafalgar Maple Bock Great Lakes Orange Peel Ale Hockley Stout Fruli Strawberry Beer Wow. That's... sad. I mean, yeah, there are a couple of ...

There are no imminent LCBO orders for any Dogfish product at this time. 60 Minute IPA was turned down for a General Listing in favour of Brooklyn Lager. Given the reception the previous release of Dogfish garnered, and the fact that the LCBO was clearly interested in having it as part of the Spring...

All I want to know is if the Dogfish will be part of the summer release, along with any of the other beers that the LCBO had been looking to get from Peter?

That must've been before Fine Beers became their agent in Ontario. If you were to contact the LCBO now to ask about doing a private order, they would (or at least should) tell you that you would need to arrange it through Fine Beers. Uhm, nope; within the last 2 months, and Fine Beers was already t...

FWIW, min. order is 60 cases. Says who? The LCBO, when I asked them recently about obtaining a private order from Brooklyn. If Fine Beers is willing to let folks piggy-back onto an order that they are doing for the LCBO and/or their bars & restaurant customers, I don't see why we'd have to come...

funny how one of the best brewers in North America can't sell their product "right next door" - thanks to restrictive Ontario legislators giving major head to MolBatt, and preventing the existence of small retailers. Let's place the blame for the upcoming Unibroue drought at the proper so...
