For those who are holding on to this, I suggest you stick it in the fridge or drink it ASAP. Mine just exploded on me. As the bottle says : "Drink this beer fresh... WOOF!". Yeah... woof!... that's what happened.

Any other Black Butte sightings in Ottawa? Bank/Walkley was cleaned out as of earlier this afternoon. Nothing at Richmond/Kirkwood. Rideau/KE I'm guessing... Wow, it went fast. Drinkvine shows 41 bottles at B&W, new shipment or they're just not up-to-date? all of this fuss over Black Butte.. I ...

Out of curiosity, has anybody noticed any difference in St-Ambroise beer since the takeover by RJ? Their double IPA is by far the worst beer I had this year, but if I'm not mistaken this is a new product. I didn't have the chance to sample their regulars since the takeover but the RIS should hit th...

From what I recall, I wasn't too impressed with the original recipe, it was bland, very subtle hop character. I'll probably grab a bottle or two this week. Is it out in Quebec? I'll run out at lunch and grab some. BroueHaHa have it, don't know about other places. Are those usually distributed in gro...

You guys should check out La Trappe à Fromage on St-Raymond. Seems like a less popular spot for beer, couple of days ago I spotted LTM Baltic Porter 2011 and DDC Momentum 4-pk from last winter/spring. And you can buy singles unlike Omni, where 12oz beers are mostly 6 packs. Seems cheaper than BrouHa...
