I'm hoping it'll be a general list item. That was fantastic on tap earlier this year!
I've changed what I'm hoping for. What you said, me too. :)

I was talking with the Beer guy at the Wilson & Dufferin LCBO (great Beer room they have there!). There's more ROCHEFORT 8 on the way. It's due in the warehouse in August, but has to go through the lab. So, I guess that'll be another week or 3 until it hits shelves... There are close to 12000 b...

I had Mogul Madness at Beer Bistro a little while ago. That's not unforeseeable as beerbistro was the first to pour Rogue and they have a dedicated tap for the brewery, but I never caught wind of the Mogul being on so hopefully it comes back next year. I think it's currently on tap at the West 50 P...

Bier Market's new beer list + Unibroue Seigneuriale on tap.

Bier Market's new beer menu is out. While most of the new beers aren't in yet. But 3 out of the 4 seasonal choices on the Unibroue rotating tap are ones I haven't seen in Ontario. Currently it's the Seigneuriale , which was a retired brew: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/unibroue-seigneuriale/2116/ Che...
