I had it at the Festibiere on Friday from a cask. It was really, really nice. It would be nice to get it in bottles. They (LTM) also had a hopfenweisse at the festival.

Does anyone know how long I would be able to store the (7%) Harry Porter in fridge/cellar? I picked up a couple of bottles at the brewery yesterday and would love to save it for the colder months.

I saw the Celt at Hunt Club & Merivale. It is no longer there, however. As for the Panil, none to be seen in Ottawa.

Re: Saint-Sylvestre 3 Monts GR Amber

I picked up a bottle of 3 Monts Grande Reserve Biere Ambree a month ago in Montreal, but I can't seem to find an entry for it on BA or RB. Even the SS website only seems to have La Gavroche, but it's listed as 8.5%, this is 10%. Anyone know what the deal is? On RB, it's been listed under its other ...

Has anybody else tried La Brulerie on St. Joseph? I went last summer and a few of the bottles I bought were past the expiry date. Just wondering if it's worth my time to give it another shot.
