That's too bad, Fin du Monde used to be a good deal at the LCBO. Looks like Gatineau will keep getting my business!

I like the name- I'm probably overthinking it, but I see it as a dig towards all of Ottawa's breweries brewing the safest beers possible.

Jeff, was your trip yesterday/today? If so, please update, as I'll be in Montréal this weekend. I am pretty stocked for beer right now, so unless Peluso has something special, I don't know if I'll bother. May be sold out by the weekend but this will be there: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/les-trois-...

I would think they would anglisize them. Imagine people in Toronto ordering Le Bouillon de la Chaudiere Yeah but I don't know how well "The Broth of the Boil" would sell either Not sure if Dumduminator would translate well either. Oh, and that would be more like Kettle's Broth or somethin...
