in marketing speak that likely translates into "the only other brewery willing to participate".

Following the popular IPA glass... there is now a stout glass. Developed by Left Hand and Rogue.

The bourbon notes are much less pronounced but I think ones impression of this year's depends on taste preference.

I thought it came off as nicely balanced and ready to drink.

new at TBS: Cameron's Rye Pale Ale - Quantity: 6 x 341 ml bottle I'm more than happy to pay $13.80 a sixer for this. Basically the same price as Centennial IPA and comparable in quality IMO.

What is Muskoka doing with it this year? Hearing reports that the 'BO has 2012 bottles?! Did they make a '13? Are they switching to releasing it as an aged product or did they simply have too much left over? Anyone shed some light? It's always been a bit pricey but have enjoyed it... Greg has your ...

ISO: St. Ambroise RIS 2012

This wasn't at the LCBO last year so looking for a 2012 vintage to complete a 3-yr vertical.

West End GTA / Hamilton / Guelph / Cambridge / Waterloo preferred for in person swap.

PM if you have some.
