I'm not seeing it on the LCBO website. :( What's the product number?

A lot of the Christmas beers are not listed on the LCBO website or drinkvine even though they are available in the stores. Fullers Vintage Ale is 676213

I was in the Ira Needles LCBO last week and they told me the Christmas stuff should come in sometime next week. Not sure if the rest of the KW is getting it at the same time, but seems likely. I'll try to drop by next weekend to hopefully get the few things I wanted this time around.

Love the Chimay chalice. It's nice to replace my last one as the gold rim had worn off...

Well, good job this glass is good quality. I came home last night to find my wife using my old chimay glass(exactly the same one) as a stencil for Halloween crafts. The thing is fucking covered in black sharpie now.

Clean it with nail polish remover, WD-40, or rubbing alcohol. Glass saved!

Thanks, will do. Hope it doesn't take too much of the gold trim off the rim, as that's where the majority of the sharpie is

Muskoka WINTER BEARD stout is in stores. I saw it at the Argentia location at 401 & Winston Churchill in Mississauga. But, as with the rest of the Xmas beers, it's not listed on the LCBO site.

At the same store I found the CUVEE VAN DE KEIZER BLAUW. Between that location & the Square One LCBO, I've seen most of the Xmas releases already on display, but none on the website. So, go hunting soon!

I'm eager for the N'ICE CHOUFFE. Any word on when it's coming? I see the Autumn release MC CHOUFFE has just been listed, but with no stock yet. I wouldn't be surprised if both shipped here together.

No, I will not "beam you up."

HelloLCBO told me it will be in stores mid to late November.

Excellent! Time to go hunting. :)

Anyone seen the N'ICE CHOUFFE anywhere else, even in Mississauga?

Assuming these have now made their way to various spots in KW, happened to get one at Highland.

Now, just need Vitus. Really strange that we're getting Xmas releases before the Fall releases.
