I am a fan of MT since they started. I get their amazing coffees delivered right to my door.

Really? All their other stuff is solid and just bought one.


The Publican House Eight or Better tripel is also at the LCBO.
You are right, Ontario has not yet brewed an average level tripel. Best tripels ever? Dupont Avec les Bons Voeux and Westmalle

I hope so

Re: LCBO Xmas Release 2017

spoke to a main beer guy at Summerhill, where I do my workouts. They are taking out 10 beers immediately and losing that big shelfspace in front of tasting bar. This is all in favour of hard liquour. Beer does not bring in the big bucks, particularly with xmas season.
