Want some advice on the best 500mL cans at LCBO. Going deep into the woods for a week and don't want to lug bottles around. My first thoughts are: Fuller's ESB, Porter, Holsten Festbock, Maibock.

Sorry I finally read this entire thread (you're only there for a few days). Brussels is not bad...I'd pick up on what Beaumont said but also recommend taking a bus or cab to Beersel for the day. Gueuze paradise. My favourite city in Belgium was Ghent. Like medieval Brugges but much less touristy. Ho...

You should see the Kerkom brewery in Limburg. Way off the beaten path, but very cool spot. Tim Webb says it has ' the cutest sampling cafe in all of Belgium'. When we were there we got a full tour and ate a great lunch with bread, cheease and pate made with the beer. The owner, Marc, is super nice. ...

This Bernardus gift pack only has 4 bottles...why not this one?

Is it too early to start discussing this? Anyone know what's coming down the pipe?

I think you got the right idea Belgian. I would say that 50% of what I buy is Unibroue for the reasons you mentioned. I will likely stock a couple cases of my favourites next week. On another Unibroue note, I was at the Fourquet-Fourchette in Montreal a couple of weeks ago and I bought 3 of the 15th...

Does anyone know what we might see this year? Last year's was not too bad (from a belgian perspective).

So besides Peter's limited selection, what else is good that we can expect?

On another note, can I FedEX beer from Halifax to Ontario? I see the NSLC has the Rochefort 10 and Westmalle Trippel again so I want to stock-up when I'm out next week. I need to supplement the lack of St. Bernardus.

I got this back from TBS today: Thank you for your recent email to The Beer Store's Customer Service Department. I am sorry to hear you are encountering some difficulties acquiring your favorite brands Dave's Light at our retail locations. The following brands are not delisted from The Beer Store. I...

I have also experienced low supply of Unibroue beers at several North Toronto TBS. I don't like the sounds of all of this.

Bottled date was January 26, 2006. I have some bottles in the garage from a March bottling and they were fine. The Smith Falls exploding bottles are gone. Anyway, the bottles still contain good beer.

I'll check the bottles (not sure if I can decipher the date code) but it would seem that these were more recent bottlings. A) Their wasn't the typical dust on the bottles from usual 'lack of consumer interest' in these beers and B) the cap underneath the foil was plain gold instead of the usual &quo...

Fvcked is a little harsh, but my beers tasted the same as always...

Anyone noticed that Unibroue beers in the 341mL bottles are a little extra fizzy lately? I bought some Fin du Monde in Smith Falls a few weeks back and nearly all bottles overflowed once the cap was twisted off. I figured it was a bad case, but I just opened some Trois Pistole from Markham and it's ...
