Had a pint of this at Bar Volo on Friday and it was pretty tasty. Serious hop-heads might not find it strong enough though. Would've been nice to see them go the Imperial or Double IPA route on this one as there is a serious lack of these kinds of beers here in Ontario. On the plus side, it seems l...

Anyone wanting to split an order of either the Punk or Hardcore IPA? Or possibly let go of some bottles on an order you've already placed?

I'll be ordering a case of the 5am, I Hardcore You and Tactical Nuclear Penguin. Can't resist any Penguin named beers. Bottles WILL definitely be available from my TNP case as I only want to hang on to 2 of them. If anyone wants to reserve a bottle or two, let me know. Otherwise I'll just post here...

Splitting a case?

Anyone know if there's a thread for splitting cases of brews (such as Dogfish) that aren't available in Ontario? I'd love to grab some 60 or 90 min IPA from someone travelling to the U.S if they didn't mind picking up some.

Can anyone advise if anything like that is happening on here?

4pm!? C'mon...is this an event for the unemployed? Where is the consideration for the poor 9-5 slaves such as myself? More like an "Upright afternoon". Yes. The event goes from 4 p.m. to 4:01, so you couldn't possibly get there by 6 and still have beer. :roll: Wait a minute...that's a sar...

LCBO at Queens Quay still had a bunch of St. Bernie's as of last night. Just bought 3 to save some for the rest of you. =) Interesting beer and I enjoyed the flavour. Great colour. Really noticeable carbonation. Since this is my first taste of the ABT 12, don't know if it would benefit from some agi...

I found sort've the same thing. The first few sips tasted great but then the taste of alcohol really started coming through and started overpowering everything else.

I much preferred their PumKing - pumpkin pie in a bottle and I thought good from beginning to end. Choklat I also didn't mind.
