Broue Ha Ha finally got a shipment from Brasserie Illimites. And in it was a fabulous 6pack. 2 x Cascade IPA, 2 x Golding IPA and 2 x IPA. I picked up a couple. They also have a shipment of this years St. Ambroise Framboise.

If we apply the BA rules, and only beers with over 1000 reviews are allowed on the list, what does it look like? The BA criteria for Canada is actually 50 reviews.

Just thought that I'd put this out there. I just got my order from the LCBO

2 cases of Duggan's No. 9 IPA
1 case of Denison's Weissbier

Goose Island
Half Pints
Paddock Wood
Mikkeller
