John By Imperial Stout
The LCBO has informed us that the number for the John By Impy won't be active until the 12th of December. That means that the beer can't be shipped to them prior to that date.

We found a new blackcurrant supplier. They are really superior to what we had access to before and it has made quite a difference, especially in the colour. It looks like a red wine (with a head), quite Gamay like. It is very dry as well. Needless to say, the brewery folks are very happy about the c...

Belgian,don't look now but there's a $96.00 bottle of red from Chile already! Its on the November Vintages release. Its from Casa L'Apostolle ( the Grand Marnier people). I bought one on spec. last week at Summerhill. As for deals, Malbecs from Argentina are usually a good bet. One of the blending g...

You can really blame California for the high prices. Yes, the French have always gotten high prices for their Grand Crus and classified growths, but most of it was due to small supply. California, which does produce some of the finest wines in the world by the way, is not supply challenged at all. I...

Grub, the label may say different... Heritage plans this to be a yearly release but it really depends on sales and the response from the LCBO. If we can get it on the Winter Ale program every year, it will be produced no question. I will leave it up to the individuals who drink it to decide. As for ...

John By Imperial Stout.
I tried the John By Imperial Stout in its final form today. It is different for the Tsarina. It is perhaps slightly less complex but it is VERY big beer. It has perhaps the biggest mouthfeel of any beer I've ever had. Loads of chocolate and espresso layered with nutty, malty flavours. A very slight ...

The importers and freight companies also get their share. Some of these purchases were agreed upon many months ago when the U.S. dollar was still 10-12% higher as well. When I made the comment about prices in the U.S. stores I should have been more specific. I really was looking at imports. They ten...

Taxes do play a significant role. Ontario charges a Volume Fee of $17.60 per hl, plus a basic fee of $5.22 per hl. The feds tack on excise, but for small brewers, its only around $3.00 per hl ( as opposed to $27.98 per hl for larger breweries). Most U.S. states charge very little in the way of state...
