Folly Heist Sour Pale Ale — First time I've seen anything from Folly at the LCBO. This beer was canned March 26 and employs kveik yeast and lacto bacteria for sourness. Citrusy and light, mildly tart, dry. Nice offering.
Having a Yummy, canned in March. This is up there with Jutsu for best NE style pale in the province. I was also very impressed with BTP's Saison Tropicale which I picked up recently (canned in late Feb). This is super hoppy but the saison yeast profile emerges through the hops.

Weihenstephaner / Sierra Nevada Braupakt — This is just about at its BB date and has lost any notable hoppiness.

Bell's Hopslam Ale — First time tasting this and it's pretty great.

I think they reduced it $1 to $9 this year, probably because the latest Black Liquids is $10. Both stouts...
The more I sip on this the more I’m thinking this was mislabelled. They also had a stout with brett which is much more fitting to what I’m tasting. This is downright dry and.. I’m getting pineapple notes on the nose
