Grabbed a box of hopwired today. Was disappointed to see the production date on the label December 11, 2012... Still tastes pretty good, but can imagine it would've been better. I guess I'll have to drink them quickly. Damn... Thanks for the heads-up. I likely won't be buying a single bottle. I am ...

Like many have stated I hope this will get the LCBO to list other top beers more often. SAQ has Chimay Blue and Rochefort 10 consistently, why can't we get these more often in Ontario?
