Any updates R+R??

Let the praise continue! I tried one last night and have to say it's one of, if not the best IIPA I've ever tasted! A great beer from beginning to end. Chris from Tree - How long is the Hophead good for? I'm not sure about the ageability of IIPA's. Just wondering if there's any point in stocking up.

Just an FYI...Liberty Village LCBO had 3 bottles of the Hophead and about 16 bottles of the Hopsinjoor after I left with a few of each last night.

Thanks Ritzkiss! What's the deal with the Skyvgfiofashsdflj anyway?

EDIT - Ahhhhh it's a Carolus brew.

Hophead Double IPA is now in stores - it was released yesterday so it is starting to trickle into stores - here is the list of stores with inventory http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo-ear/lcbo/product/inventory/searchResults.do?language=EN&itemNumber=209346 cheers! Man you aren't kidding with the trickle...

Bill the beer guy is your man at Cooper St. He found it for me too. Very knowledgeable and service-oriented LCBO employee (a nice change from many, as you point out). I got some (Hophead) today at Queen's Quay. Look forward to trying it! So they DO have it? I was there Saturday and they said they i...

So they DO have it? I was there Saturday and they said they it wasn't in yet. And by "it" I mean the Hophead.

If you haven't bought this yet Chapters is clearing these out at $12.99, my old lady picked up a copy for me yesterday. http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/The-Beerbistro-Cookbook-Stephen-Beaumont/9781554701407-item.html?ikwid=beer+bistro&ikwsec=Home THanks for the post, will defiinitely be pic...

Man after reading up on the Westy's I'm really disappointed I missed this post!! It's not too often you get to try beers regarded as some of the best in the world. Guess I'll have to join Twitter.

I guess there's nothing left at Volo?

Great beer!

Anyone have an idea as to how long this beer is good for? Cellaring a bottle right now as I haven't seen any lately but wondering if there's any point.

With regards to the chefs not coming out and explaining the dishes, don't you think that maybe they had their hands full preparing the ten courses you were gorging on? I'm sure they were busy but c'mon, you can't have a tasting dinner without somebody talking a bit about why they chose to pair that...

A bar in a grocery store? Now I've heard everything. I was actually in that Longo's not too long ago and somehow missed it. Guess I'll be doing my shopping there from now on! If only we could carry our beers down the aisles while trying to decide what cereal to get.

Picked up a bottle of Infinium last night. Tag on the bottle says drink by July 2011. Guess there's no aging potential here.

Anyone tried it yet?

For those that are interested, I was at the Queens Quay LCBO last night and they only had 3 of the Noerrebro featured beers there: 1. BOMBAY PALE ALE 3. LITTLE KORKNY ALE 4. NORREBROS JULEBRYG Dissappointed I couldn't pick up the stout but I grabbed a Bombay. Expecting a great IPA here with the hype...
