I dunno, but that's the one I'm probably most excited about

Speaking of which, wonder what the chances are that we see this in time for summer?

Bad beer! Very bad beer!! Go to your room.

Same thing happened to mine a month ago. The highway from Quebec musta been extra bumpy that day......

This is very excellent news.

Yeah, I saw (and promptly bought) one at MLG today and it caught me off guard, hadn't heard tell of it around these parts

Bookmarked this thread. Thanks!

I'm groovin' pretty hard on this St. Landelin La Divine I picked up on Friday. Been surprised by the number of Belgian letdowns as of late, but this one's going down nice.

Yeah, I got me one at Maple Leaf Gardens yesterday, think there were 5-6 more on the shelf (as of ~4:30 PM)

OK, I know The Stop. But what's the "all you can drink and eat thing"? Probably referring to the Night Market? Yep. My wife and I went last year and it was incredible, we were so full we could hardly stand. Great mix of desserts and sandwiches and things on sticks, and a few good beer ten...

The LCBO site says they have 49 units of Propeller IPA at Maple Leaf Gardens, but I couldn't find a single one. Was I misled or just temporarily sight-impaired after a long day at the office?

(I did pick up a crinkly-wrapped Canny Man though, so that was a fine consolation prize.)

Hopefully there are still some doppelbock on the shelves for my NYE run.

For some reason I wasn't a big fan of the first glass of tripel I poured, but the second glass was much more palatable (read: nicer aftertaste). The Underling Jul, on the other hand, was pretty great the whole way through. Nice little variation on the traditional "winter ale" (or at least ...

It appears Thirsty & Miserable got their shipment......in case you can't access the photo, looks like about 18 bottles, $35 a pop

I'll add to the praise train for staff at the Maple Leaf Gardens LCBO, talked to a few guys there over the past week and they were really nice, even though it was never very clear (even to them) when they would be receiving/selling it
