The fact that Pumking isn't on the list doesn't really mean anything. It could show up anyway.

Looking forward to seeing the Scaldis Amber in Ontario, though when I've had it in Europe (marketed as Bush) or even in Quebec I thought it was closer to 12% ABV than 10%.

This Day of The Dead beer seems a interesting choice on the part of the LCBO. Not a lot of RB or BA reviews but most not thinking it was too bad. Probably buy a six just for the novelty of the artwork.

As long as Ayinger's Celebrator and Marzen are still coming, the rest of the release can go bathe in growler liquid.

You're saying the Ayinger beers are comparatively solid.

I don't know, but I would be surprised if they are also cancelled, since we just had two Ayinger beers this year, and Celebrator was a staple for so long.

Other Interpretation:
Celebrator bottles will be filled this year with plastic goats rather than bottle liquid.
