Re: LCBO Winter Release 2017

so we're still missing: Maybe they're staggering the release throughout the season? Still, it's hard to argue against filling the shelves before Christmas. St Feuillien Cuvee de Noel is clearly a Christmas beer and Deus Brut des Flanders is built for New Years Eve. Both shall be April's shelf turds...

Re: LCBO Winter Release 2017

Did I miss the Tripel Karmeliet release? I thought I was watching that pretty closely... The Karmeliet and Deus both shipped late due to...some...antiquated system....um.. never mind. Same with St F Cuvee Noel - that beer landed December 12th in Durham warehouse and has yet to be put up on the web ...

Anyone know what happened to the Kåååd? I mean, I can guess. The Kaaad has been held up due to issues relating to their total production. The LCBO charges a higher duty rate for breweries producing more that 50,000HL per year and they assume that every brewery falls into that category unless provid...

Kasteel Donker

isn't Kasteel 11% ABV? As I noted above, this was a quick cut & paste from the LCBO-provide spreadsheet, which sometimes has mistakes or typos. I'll do some double checking and clean it up soon. UPDATE: Given that the overall theme of this release is supposed to be "hoppy & sour beers&...

St Louis Fond Tradition

I'm not trying to pick a fight with anyone and I am honestly interested in the response....why is this release boring/poor? It seems like there is a decent mix of styles, many with fairly good ratings. Not defending the LCBO either. I'm just interested in what people want in their the seasonal rele...

He was bringing them in through a 3rd party broker, much to the chagrin of both the brewery and ourselves. We've got Kwak in stock at the moment in cases of 24x330ml and 12x750ml, a few cases of 3x1500ml of the Karmeliet and also have the Deus in cases of 6x750ml available now for pick up here at ou...

Terra Firma is the agent for St Feuillien. We have the bottles of the Saison coming in for next Spring release.

The problem with cans here is labeling. The current cans just have the US particulars on it.
