Amazing. It will be a black xmas at my place.

Once again, leave it to Ontario brewers... why would I ever buy Lone Pine for that price when I can buy Red Racer for less...

Total rookie beer. The only beer worth drinking for the price is Lug Tread, and I won't even buy that anymore as it only supports the continuous brewing and LCBO inundation of mediocre to bad, and overpriced Beau's beer.

Did I read here somewhere that there was another chili beer coming to the LCBO, and is it there now? I have bee quite busy over the past month or so and have not been paying much attention to new arrivals. I would love it if some you can recommend some 'must buys' for me to seek out, rather than hav...

Instant pass.

Warlock! \m/

I'll make sure to pass on the K:rlek and the Cream Ale at those prices. I expect those to sit around as long as the Canadian Dream did.

All other prices seem fair to me.... with the IPA maybe being a little hefty.

Highly anticipating the Black and Ranger!

Somewhat surprised at it's 'style' rating on RB. Probably because you haven't had the top beers in that style, and lack an accurate point of reference. Meeeeeow! I drink what comes in, sweetheart. :D Odd though, since none of the beer in this style rate at 100 for style.. which means there must be ...

Drank one last night. Very much enjoyed it. Somewhat surprised at it's 'style' rating on RB.

Am I the only person who thought the Jolly Pumpkin Wit was terrible? I'm a big Wheat/Wit fan and thought it tasted really meh. Well you must not have very good taste! (kidding.) Honestly I think this one leans slightly towards a farmhouse ale with barrel treatment, at least in the appeal, it's less...

Unibroue 17 was incredible after a year. I still have a bottle from each of the past three years. An all time favourite beer for me,though. I should have remembered to mention that one. Perfect style for aging though in my opinion. I have a couple years of the tempest as well, but I think I'm going ...

Anyone try the Heather Ales Fraoch 22 Auchentoshan yet? I freaking hated it. Reminded me of Radical Road's Canny Man, which I also hated. Too much scotch nose on Fraoch 22 took so much away from the beer for me. If I'm going to drink scotch, which I love, I want the warming burn of it... I will not...

In my cellaring/aging experience (been testing it out with for about 3 or 4 years now) I've really only had a few brews that I thought were better. Other than that, really not much detectable difference at all. I aged a bottle of Flying Monkeys Matador for about a year, and found it do be much nicer...
