Panil Barriquee Sour has been reduced $4 to $11.95 across the LCBO. No mention of the reduction on shelves or online, just a new price.

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

Drinking a 2018 Juggernaut and... this beer is sour. Over carbonated and really just not what I expected from a BBA stout. I’m sure this is why they only charged $9 for it.

Anyone else had this sour stout?

I've seen "clearance" discounts of 30% at various stores. Great if you can find 'em.

When it comes to hazy NE IPAs I have taken to rolling the can/bottle gently before opening and/or agitating it before pouring last few ounces, much like one would a wheat beer. I think it better integrates any sediment so there are less floaties and more generalized haziness. Sometimes the floaties ...

Flying Monkeys Sparklepuff IIIPA— Surprisingly good. Probably the best hoppy thing I've had from FM. Barncat Cats in Space IIPA — Chewy hop juice. Barncat Pulp Clementine IIPA — Amazing, the fruit is not heavy handed, yet very present and makes for a delicious combination. Easily gulped. Barncat Fea...

Yawn

Marston's 61 Deep Pale Ale — Very nice golden ale here. Crisp, refreshing, well balanced. It's on the dry side and with some hop bite surviving the voyage from England. A truly sessionable ale at 4.1% abv and $2.35 per 500 ml.

My Jan 23 Laser Show cans were less than stellar. Not as hazy as I remember.

Didn't know the YUZU was so fanstastic, it's dry and tart with interesting flavors going on. Japanese citrus fruits flavour it. Radical Road Yuzu Pale Ale, canned this month. It's somewhat one dimensional — but that dimension is Yuzu. I don't know if it's just me, but it takes about a half-pint for...

Bad, predictable news for hop lovers: the latest US imports are 2+ months old.
Stone Ruination: Nov 7 2018
Oskar Blues Dales Pale Ale: Nov 19 2018
Founders All Day IPA: Early Dec IIRC

Picking up Left Field Laser Show canned Jan 23 was a no-brainer.

I don't think Pusateri's or McEwan sell beer. For it's part, my local Real Canadian Superstore in North York has a decent selection of craft. Nothing surprising but a nice breadth of styles, relatively fresh and all refrigerated.

Grocery store dark-beer showdown: Sawdust City Skinny Dippin Stout vs. Collective Arts Stranger than Fiction vs. Clifford Porter.

All nice beers but the Clifford Porter takes the prize for potency of flavour and smokiness.

With this one scheduled to return to the LCBO any day now I opened up my last bottle of the 2015 vintage. It has held up very well and seems a bit less sour (more balanced) than I remember. Still quite tart, fruity, wine like, dry. One helluva brew. Back in 2015 I couldn't find many details about ho...

Beau's 49° 54° Fogo Island myrrh-smoked gose. Despite scoffing at this a couple times on the shelf, I got one as a gift and it's actually pretty good. The flavours are mild: wheat beer-ish fruity esters, smoke and salt. It's not tart at all. It's hazy as apricot nectar (once you disrupt the sediment...
