Although I'm not a fan of the style, the st berny wit is fucking fantastic. The minerality on it just hit the right spot with me.

For me, the only other ephemere that was this good was the cherry one(from a guy who generally doesn't like cherry flavoured things....except cherries)

I would never pass on the Blanche Chamby Witbier either, but then I like the style if it's a real solid one like St. Bernardus or Charlevoix. BD Chambly clears well for years in a well–kept bottle, thanks to bottle conditioning
Totally. I don't always feel like a wit, but when I (or my wife) do..... The Blanche de Chambly is a good one to have around, especially to get the mix pack. Hell, I even bought a couple of six packs last year to get the cool glasses.

I picked up a six pack it says BB March 24 2018 on the neck. Assuming it was bottled March 2017.

Lol, at 12 months on the BB. I'd give it 2 months tops.

Couldn't find it at all on the TBS site, I don't think it's even listed. However, the other issue I was anticipating was whether it would be differentiated in any way from previous mix pack versions. I'm sure some TBS locations still have the old one around. Anyway, even when the site does give specific locations for something, I've found in the past that it just means they're slated to get some, not that they actually have it yet.

TLDR: TBS site sucks, for this one I just go in when I happen to be near a TBS (or am returning bottles).

saw 2 different Founders all day IPAs today at the lcbo, one says best before Nov 2017, other says Jan 2018. Do they give these a 1 year shelf life too?

Interesting, this beer was released on May 30, 2015, according to Stone.

I always thought it would be funny if the LCBO brought in something from the Enjoy By series, I guess they wisely steered clear.
