Where is the Meantime London Porter? Did it ever make it to Ottawa?

[quote]So I guess since this is a 'winter' release and not a 'xmas' one there is no reason to think these beers will all be in the lcbo before Dec 24th?[/quote]

I still haven't seen some of the Fall Release Beers yet in Ottawa, so I wouldn't count on it.

Ottawa is out... Went to the Crossroads location and there were like 75 - 100 people in line. I left empty handed. There were people there who had struck out at Rideau earlier (including a guy who drove in from Montreal...). There were people, including the guy in front of me, who had no idea what t...

I'm hoping this will hit Ottawa tomorrow.

Does anyone have news on this?

Thanks. I thought I had seen it somewhere on the thread, but I didn't want to search through the tens of pages...lol It is strange that 3 outlets in London are getting it, but only 2 in Ottawa. One of which (Hunt Club & Merivale (Nepean Crossroads)) isn't a regular outlet for the special release...

Does anyone know which stores in Ottawa will be getting this?

I wonder if it will show up later in Ottawa, since we usually get things much later than the GTA.

The major LCBO locations in Ottawa seem to be flush with Monster Ale.

The bottles say: BB Nov 2014

If I'm reading this properly it was made on November 15th 2011. Was the LCBO just aging these for me and everyone else in Ottawa?

This was done with some very poor researchers clearly. There is no way that beer in Germany costs $1.90. Even with the ridiculous deposit that they charge in Germany, the price of most beer is no higher than €1.25 ($1.60) for 500ml. Also, beer in Korea is well under W2000 at any store for a 500ml Ko...

Or just buy something unusual. I haven't been carded in years (at the LCBO) and I am well under 25.

What do you think of this brewery?

I have had Galt Knife (less than 3 weeks old), Curmudgeon (less than a month old) and Russian Gun. I was not impressed with any of the beers.

Also, they have the worst labels I have ever seen!

Something must have changed within the last year, because I remember hearing that Blue dropped to third behind Budweiser and Canadian. Only thing that could have changed that that makes sense to me is the massive price drop in Ontario for Blue... Either way, the top beer in any country is never wort...

I am going to Michigan (by car) later this week and I want to bring back some craft beer with me. I won't be in the U.S. for 48 hours, so I won't qualify for a "personal exemption". I was wondering if anyone has any info on the duty and taxes the beer would be subject to when I come back t...
