I would do Vice et Versa over Saint Bock.

Hopefully, the Brooklyn Post will show up in Ottawa considering the Southern Tier Pumking did not show up at any Ottawa stores. I guess the capital is too remote.

Ah I see. In any case, I received two bottles last week as part of an order. I had the first one last weekend and it was quite the treat. I was planning to put the second down for a few months, but I might have to crack it open soon. I think most people on BT would enjoy it immensely. FWIW, the USAl...

I think this might be the regular Beer Geek Brunch. Not the Weasel version.

My wife and I will be heading out to the event with some friends on Saturday.

Mikkeller Black Hole Barrel Aged Edition Whiskey

If I closed my eyes I would not know there was any beer at all....just like sipping on a scotch. (Similar to Ola Dubh 40)

I agree Steve. I would be very interested in R&R doing a Great Divide order.

Nickelass you are SOL. The Rochefort came and went within 48 hours.

I noticed that a few scattered St. Bernardus remain. If I see any when I pop into the SAQ I will grab you a couple.

Thought you all might like to know that SAQ has some new additions;

St. Bernardus 12 (750ml) $9.10
Rochefort 8 $3.90
Gouden Carolus Classic $3.35

Limited quantities of each.


....those of you who are too far away to visit Quebec should feel free to cry.

I agree Ian, that lineup is the most diverse I have heard of from that little store. I will be heading through there this Friday for a camping trip. Hopefully, the shelves stay equally stacked. ...no mention of any Stone products though. I don't know if that is because Tmex did not bother to pick an...

Thanks Cass.

We are heading to San Francisco on Monday for a week. I'll compare your list against mine and note any discrepancies.

I would not worry about it too much Lukie. The first time I had it, years ago, I did not like it at all. Fishy is not exactly what I would call the flavour at the time, but I was very vocal in my displeasure. Now I buy it by the case. No other beer has had such a disparity between initial dislike to...

Answers:

1) Three days would be a good beer trip to Montreal. But then you might have to leave DDC and head to some other spots.

2) Four livers should do it. Those livers can soak up a lot of booze. Bring a fifth if you want to be safe.

Thanks for making me start my day with a big ball of envy.

........so, an Ohio beer tasting soon?

Lots of good stuff there.

Good to see The Bruery is available in NY. I can't remember ever seeing it at BotW or Half Time.
