Anyone know is this is coming back?


Please, please. I love this beer.

It’s in store now. I just grabbed a few bottles today(Guelph)

These guys have become one of my semi-regular places to order from since I moved to Guelph. Free shipping and all that. I'm particularly fond of their Lagers, particularly the Pilsner Elora, which is also attractively priced at 3.14 for a tall boy. Every fall they put out some dark lagers too, whic...

Yep that is a tasty beer.
They make really good ipas…but I have to say I’m glad they didn’t go that route for their first LCBO listing. Nice to see more quality local lagers sneaking in there. The selection is actually becoming pretty good.

It is a great beer. I’d be glad to see it back as well.

I just saw that Great Lakes is bringing back the BBA Solstice to LCBO. I really enjoyed that one last time around.
Hopefully they bring back Beard of Zeus as well.

The Chimay 150 is sensational. I’ll be stocking up big time.

Bring back Mountain Lager

Alla Caccia (On The Hunt) from Lake of Bays. Billed as a "Crisp Dry Pilsner" - which it certainly is - and an "Italian Style Pilsner" which I don't think is a thing but I could be wrong. Anyway, this is like nothing I've tried before and so I'm probably more impressed than I sho...

Was in Cambridge today on a Barncat run, so made a random stop at LCBO. Surprised to see Orval back, as I hadn’t seen any mention of it in the fall releases. Always good to stock up on a good number of them, hopefully it’s a decent sized rollout.

I'm curious about that Allsops. I hadn't heard much about them, I'm sure many of you know more than I do, but I gather they're an old defunct British brand that's being reborn. They're claiming to try to stick as close as possible to the original recipes. I'm also interested in the Zeven Zonden and...

I have a pint of Arkel best on cask almost every single time I’m in The Wooly. Each and every time I say to myself that I wish more places did cask beer.

Where in Fergus?

I’d imagine he’s taking about “The Outpost”

Glad to see the Gonzo back again.
I’d far prefer the OG Yeti to return than the chocolate one.
More Chimay is always a good thing
The Windswept beers are usually pretty solid stuff at a very reasonable price, so looking forward to that.

Town makes some of the best IPAs in the province, in my opinion. I would say they're perhaps not quite as dense/sweet as some Badlands and 3M, but that's why I like them so much, I find them more balanced for my palate. Rouge River make some excellent hazy IPAs as well. I like Town ok, nut as much ...
