FYI - St. Bernardus ABT 12 is back at the SAQ.
At Broue Ha Ha last week I saw LTM Weizenbock and Unibroue La Terrible while picking up my case of St. Ambroise RIS. The RIS will be on the shelves on the 31st (according to the BHH newsletter).

In a couple of weeks my wife and I are going to the Waterloo outlet mall (from Ottawa) and I have managed to negotiate one stop for beer in the Liverpool/Galeville area. Which would be better to stop at, the Byrne Dairy (Galeville Grocery) on Old Liverpool or the Taft Rd. Wegmans? Are there any othe...

Not sure how this works. Would I be able to get a case sent to an Ottawa LCBO? If so, I'm in for one.

We had a really great time in Cleveland. We went to the Indians/Orioles game and at the ballpark there is a concession stand called Spirits of Ohio that serves craft. I got a GL Burning River (for $7.25 - ouch!). The next day, we hit the R 'n' R Hall of Fame, then to Melt for supper and a place in R...

The LCBO says that people can bring liquor/wine/beer in from another province so long as you are carrying it with you and it's for your personal consumption. See paragraphs 4-6 under "ONTARIO CONSUMERS LOVE CANADIAN WINES" in the page linked to below. http://www.lcbo.com/aboutlcbo/todayslc...
