Glassware is in it!
Same thing happened last year and/or the year before. Lots of Christmas stuff was in the store and nothing online and then suddenly after a week or so it was all randomly posted together.

These Xmas lists make me happy. Not because the beers are all so great, just that it's the time of year to kick back and enjoy them & all that goes with that. Just a few of these are all you need!

In my local store and picked up 2 of these, they have the glass.

I think pretty much all the gift packs were on the shelf, beer ones anyways.

For those in Hamilton, James and Fennel.

Yep, same. Although....more of my excitement come from knowing that the dreaded harvest / pumpkin season of crap beers is coming to an end. Most disgusting time of year IMO. But I know some people love them.

success on my Carolus shopping this weekend.
Saw the Bernardus pack as well, but decided to wait on that in hopes someone else may buy it for me for Xmas....

Had my first st Bernardus christmas ale of the season last night. I wish I had the will power to keep beers like this in my cellar. So good.
You know what I have in my cellar? Dust, I have dust in my cellar.

Lots of the bons veux when I was in store today. Picked up a couple bottles, for now. Noticed that nutcracker Porter is out now also. Is it just me or has it jumped in price?

different strokes for different folks :)

I found them (with the possible exception of the pils) overly sweet
