I love sours, but I find I have started leaning more to other "wild ales" than pure guezes. The variety of flavours is much wider in beers from breweries like Jolly Pumpkin or even the New Belgium Lips of Faith series.

I remember seeing an article about it, it looked like half the shelf space allotted for craft beer was taken up with coolers. When I lived in Hamilton, I'd just go to the Dundurn location. Great selection.

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! :)

Crazy and they're dicks! Wouldn't it be nice if the Abbey finally wielded that hammer about not reselling their beer?
In the end, God will judge them. :lol:

So far I've tried the Jungling Jul, the Two Captains, and the Tiger Tripel. I really liked all of them but the tripel tasted kind of astringent. Not sure if it was a wonky one or if that was supposed to be there.

just thought I pipe up before I got lumped in with the newbs. :P I wasn't intending to offend anyone with my post, which, as I re-read it does have a bit of an offensive tone to it. The purpose was just to reiterate the Westy 12 hype and how many craft beer drinkers are actually out there in Ontari...

Sadly, my girlfriend tried three times today. Missed out at Queens Quay by about 6 people, Spadina and Dupont, and waited around at Church and Carlton to find out it wasn't on their truck.

This has now become too much work. I'm done. :(

So with this "wide" release, will the trading worth of these go down? I'd love to try and trade for a dark lord in a year or two
