La Choulette Ambrée Bière de Garde at BierMarkt on the Esplanade. I thought bier de gardes weren't supposed to age well, meant to enjoyed fresh. But the La Choulette Ambrée is very enjoyable now (taste & aroma much like a good Belgian Dark Strong ale), with a June 2006 best before date. I swear...

Though the big news is St-Ambroise did a maple beer, and no surprise, it's the best of the bunch. I wonder if it'll come to the LCBO? "Buy St Ambroise Erable Roughly 40 kegs of this delight is on it’s way to Toronto as I type. You can find it on tap anywhere that you usually find St Ambroise p...

Wasn't the old one Chrétien choking a look-alike of the brewer or the owner? He's as Canadian as Cherry.

Shame they're kegs only.

Point taken. Maybe it's good to give people a little lead time, rather than they catch it at the dwindling tail of the release or miss out entirely. It allows some latency. That's exactly right.
