So it looks like the Founders feature will include: Breakfast Stout Porter Dirty Bastard Backwoods Bastard Pale Ale and also coming: Goose Island Bourbon County Brand Stout Backwoods Bastard is one of my all-time favorites. I'll be hoarding this. I would not hoard a ton. I bought a 24 in the states...

RUMOUR: Firestone Walker coming to LCBO

I heard this rumour over the last few months but I can't seem to get it confirmed? Has anyone else heard the same and can confirm if and when FW may be coming? I drive to buffalo now to get some so this would save me some time!

Re: St. Bernadus Abt 12

St. Bernadus Abt 12 is being advertised in the new beer promotion mag at the LC, 8.95 750ml. here's an idea they should get both 750 and 330 formats in and see which one sells more and is in more demand!?! I'm getting sick of large formats. What would happen if Vintages started getting Opus One or ...

Apparently they're shooting for October for Racer 5: https://twitter.com/NAMERICANCRAFT/status/354762154643161088 Not missing much, red racer is much better imo. I haven't even had red racer on tap, but racer 5 on tap is nothing special. Also their stupid lawsuit left a sour taste in my mouth. Not ...

Here's my best guess: - Breakfast Stout - Double Trouble - Cerise - Porter - Dirty Bastard - Pale Ale Would certainly love to buy the Porter and Stout in quantity. They aren't making Cerise any more, so we won't be seeing that one :) And it looks like this will be a November (?) release, so unless ...

I know the Porter is in it for sure as the Founders Rep was talking about it coming to the LCBO at the Founders event down in Buffalo awhile back.

Fresh Green Flash - West Coast IPA

Some stores are starting to get new stock of Green Flash West Coast IPA on shelves. I picked up a 4 pack at Front and Sherbourne today with a bottle date of April 25 2013 on it. I am willing to pay $13.00 for a 4 pack knowing it is fresh and with the LCBO that is as fresh as I have seen for imports....

I picked up 24 today and it cost me just north of $61.00.....a steal if you ask me and likely also a mistake but I hope not :lol:

it's a great sample pack, I just wished they included the ESB as it's the best and I am an IPA fan!
