The Bar Towel

It seems this question comes up every few pages. Why oh why? Again, one of the most hyped beers in the world. One of the most rare beers in the world with the hype. The US got almost no product compared to Canada. Many people will buy rather than pay to fly and go get it. Simple economics here. Move...

First off, it's illegal.

The goal was sours for sure.

My cellar is doing well on the other types of beer I enjoy. But I'm more recently in to sour/tart beers and lambics and so the hunt is one for what I can find and try.

I had a friend in Alberta.

Had a chance to get some rare beer (I think). Here is my holiday haul. :) :) Cantillon Vigneronne Beer Cantillon Cuvee St Gilloise Beer Ooude Gueuze Tilquin A L'Ancienne 3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze De Ranke Kriek De Ranke Cuvee de Ranke Verhaeghe Duchesse De Bourgogne Any feedback on them? Any other holi...

Are you going to reply to my 2 pms from last week?

I called more then one place, "We can't order it, and we refuse to do a product transfer this close to Christmas, we would loose too much money" Dicks. I've never had a problem and have done it multiple times. I suggest getting names and #'s and tell them you're going to have a conversati...

Ya, know, your local LCBO can get product from other LCBOs upon request....

It would be nice to have burgers, etc. When I visit, I'm there for a while and substantial food helps.

Beer Bistro has it. Great stuff

Nova Scotia has the Ardbeg and the interesting Penderyn. It may be time to go to Halifax for a few at the Hart and Thistle, and shop for whiskey. :D Have one for me. :D One more excellent hard to find option, but available in NS.... not as peaty as Ardbeg: Bruichladdich Rocks . Highly acknowledged ...

Ah, but NS has some great stuff. Including Ardbeg 10 year

Ardbeg 10 year

Just like yesterday, my girlfriend missed out by just a couple. That was our last hope so I'll probably just buy a bottle at a bar one day. Maybe this will help push us to visit Belgium! :) Or take a cheaper trip out to Alberta? :wink: It actually isn't that much cheaper even. I was curious so I lo...

While Cantillon certainly has the cred to get many beer enthusiasts frothing, I think the overall taste profile would not be appealing to the masses. No mainstream craze there.

I wonder if Utopias will come back, and in any bigger volume.

Some very helpful info here. Thx
