The Bar Towel

no one's replied, so i'll save you the many sleepless nights you're likely having. the assumption: full listings, no Westy 12 scenario. i'd guess February - just like the Westmalle release in 2012. Thanks. I was going to do the "bump my own thread" thing very soon, but that is such a faux...

FYI, Chimay Blue and Rochefort 8 will be full fledged General Lists in the New Year. Orval will be a seasonal in the first quarter. Rochefort 10 is only available through us on Consignment. Also coming in a limited availability one shot is Chimay Speciale Cent Cinquante in corked 750ml silk-screene...

I probably personally skew the "not from monopoly 3 owners" list at the Richmond Hill beer store a little bit. Mill Street Tankhouse is my staple session beer and I buy it more often than I'd like to admit to my liver. (I can't drink Belgian Quads, IPAs and Imperial Stouts all that often n...

Apologies for the new thread but I remember reading and now can't find where someone said that Rochefort 10, Orval and Chimay Grand Reserve (Blue) are coming to the LCBO possibly on a full listing. With all the Westy 12 commotion, I'm hoping this is happens sooner rather than later. Are there any mo...

Here's what I'm wondering. If I've tried other trappist beers like the St. Bernie's ABT 12, Westmalle, Rochefort, Orval, whatever...is the Westy 12 SO GOOD that it would immediately stand head and shoulders above all of these? As others have said: NO. I've only had one of the Westy 12s but have had...

Probably another dozen showed while I was in the parking lot. C'est la vie I got there at 7AM. SOL for me too. They said the first guy in line was there at 3AM. Ah well, Rochefort 10 it is for me, which I like almost as much and is much easier on the wallet. Sad thing is there will be so many of th...

for those interested: there was a line at Bayview over an hr ago. not sure how big. betting there's a line at the Laird location. stay home and drink instead. Went to Bayview Village around 8:20AM. They handed out tickets for about 54 cases at around 8AM and had to turn some people away as the line...

same.

Yep.
Gonna have me an Orval and Rochefort 10 this week sometime to console myself.

Like many have stated I hope this will get the LCBO to list other top beers more often.
SAQ has Chimay Blue and Rochefort 10 consistently, why can't we get these more often in Ontario?

I was going to try the same two locations. And yes I doubt I will have any luck either. Maybe I'll try to get to one before 8AM and line up.

Called the Richmond Hill location just now. I started with: "There is a beer that is supposed to come out today" The guy cut me off: "We don't have it." I said: "I said I guess you have had this question before" He said: "We have had HUNDREDs of calls at this loca...

Looks like 48 bottles showed up in Ottawa already.

288720 / Unibroue La Terrible / $10.95 / UNIBROUE / CANADA 173534 / Southern Tier Choklat / $9.85 / SOUTHERN TIER BREWING CO. INC. / UNITED STATES Will be grabbing these. Kind of interesting (and in other ways sad) that these beers are the two I want most and yet they both come from relatively clos...

I would hate craft beer to be associated with either one of those parties or candidates. Truly a bad time to be an American voter. Yes it is a gross over simplification. But the data really is interesting, as noted in the article it is not about a state's consumption either, really just # of craft ...
