Lcbo just tweeted that the spring feature will be in stores starting March 1st. No word on what it will include though.

Hopefully Moralite will be part of the spring release.

still no news on the featured beers..

Bah, list is out and there are a bunch of repeats



This is Sorachi Aces 3rd release in the last year?

Well if I wasn't positive Maximus would be 3 months old before hitting the shelves, I'd be happy about that and the RRIIPA...

My experience with Lagunitas is they have a particularly short shelf life even if stored properly...

Anyone had the Caldera Rauch Ur Bock before? You don't see too many North American craft brewers attempt a rauchbier and those I've tried can't hold a candle to Aecht Schlenkerla. I will probably give this one a shot.

I'm of the same mind, but this one's for real. Really, really good rauch in my opinion. Great value at that price point. Here's the review I posted of it just over a year ago: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profil ... a=biegaman

Cuvee Rene and Sorachi Ace! I'm happy.

Great review, thanks for sharing. I will definitely pick this one up.

Given the current exchange rate, the Brooklyn looks to be very good value. I think it was that price when it first came into the lcbo.

Would be nice if they carried the Brooklyn Ace 4 packs of 330ml instead..

I don't mind the size so much as the price. A couple of bucks less and I'd buy a case or two.

I miss the days with 20+ seasonals. Also, these lists are getting increasingly more lazy, with beers that are pretty much already regulars like Red Racer. This list wasn't worth the wait tbh. Guess it's better than my local NoFrills selection though.

Well the red racer is the imperial version which has only been here once before, but ya, I still agree that these lists are becoming more and more disappointing

I visited the brewery last May and Sorachi Ace bottles were $10. I'm content to pay the same in CAD.
