What's the distribution on the stout? Keg only, bottles at the brewery, or LCBO?

Was going to have a Founder's Breakfast Stout, but didn't want to give the Canadian hockey team bad karma by drinking a US beer, so Black Oak Nutcracker it is, followed by a Stonehammer Oatmeal Coffee Stout.

Maredsous 10 (aged for a year...went down very smoothly. I'm liking these Maredsous beers)
Dragonmead Final Absolution Trippel
2008-09 John By (for those who have been complaining about how this ages, mine are drinking splendidly)

I didn't keep it for aging deliberately, but I pulled one of these from the back of the fridge earlier this week and I too was impressed. In fact, I enjoyed it even more that when it was new.

Hobgoblin and Nutcracker during the evening. Didn't feel much like beer as the clock ticked down, so I switched over to a couple of small batch bourbons.

Maredsous 6 followed by an Innis & Gunn Rum Cask

Chapeau Exotic (It was a Christmas present, okay)
Corne Du Diable
Stone Hammer Oatmeal Coffee Stout

He's actually got TV commercials airing as well. I wonder who the sucker is he found to bankroll him this time.

Wuerzburger and a Black and Tan at the Huether Hotel this afternoon. Railway City Iron Spike Blonde, Black Oak Nutcracker and Victory Storm King this evening.

I'm not creative enough to come up with anything on my own, but my favourites mentioned so far are: Hopaholic, Hopsex, Hoptacular and Hopsmack (although Beer Advocate has a retired beer with this name). Of those four, I'd bet that Hoptacular is the only one that would have a hope of getting by the ...

Ommegang Chocolate Indulgence. From what I've read a lot of people prefer the Young's Double Chocolate to this. I think they're the same people who prefer milk chocolate to dark. Heathens. Tried this a while back and I was totally underwhelmed by the whole beer; found it very difficult to get any c...

Good news about more of the 40 coming. I was at the Atrium on Bay around noon today and asked about it. The staffer knew about it and said she didn't have to look to see if it was in stock because she had just recently checked for another customer. Someone fron here, perchance? My wife was at Cooper...

(ahem) settle for Expedition or Oak Aged Yeti.

While I was gonna mention a couple IPA's I tend to burnout on them if I drink the same ones all the time.

Ditto on the Yeti, or Avery The Czar.
