Re: LCBO Autumn & Halloween/Oktoberfest Beer Releases 2015

I'm eagerly awaiting for KB to reach Barrie. Until then I have stocked up on BB.

Strange, I just tried to search for Kentucky Bastard on the LCBO site and it's no longer listed. Even more disturbing is that all Nickel Brook products seem to have been removed from the site.

Re: Nickel Brook Brewing

I can't wait to do a side by side review of both Bolshevik Bastard and Kentucky Bastard, two of my favourite stouts. I only wish I had held onto a final bottle of Winey Bastard from earlier this year. I was at the brewery about two weeks ago and picked one up. Could be worth a phone call if you rea...

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

Anyone know if a new batch of Rochefort 10 will be hitting Ontario before Xmas? Barrie LCBO's have been sold out for a couple months now.

Re: Coming Soon to the LCBO

I would definitely pick up a bottle (even at that price) if it wasn't such a limited release and had greater distribution throughout the province. Drive down to Toronto to buy a beer? Hell No.

just got a 4 pack of BB at King/Spadina LCBO today.
