Fire Chief's is supposed to be as well.

So the question remains: Did plans change and was Blueberry added to the general list instead? Or is Fire Chief's still coming as well?

If you're lucky maybe the next shipment will be the SOB - Special Old Bitter by name, hoppy almost sort of west coast pale ale by nature.

I've had the SOB, and yeah, it would be great to get it up here! Fantastic beer.

Pumphouse Blueberry is a great summer beer - especially when you add Bluberries to your pint glass (the same way it is served at the Pumphouse Brewpub in Moncton).

My God, eh? They bitch and whine and complain and then finally the LCBO throes them a bone and they show no gratitude. Shame. :D

FWIW Whistler Export Lager is in stores. If nothing else it may serve as an indication that Propeller and Pump House are close behind..

If you are interested in checking out the Whistler, get it soon as it's in clear bottles...

Just noticed an interesting beer listed in the weekly reports from the LCBO.

Ola Dubh Special 12 Reserve.

Haven't seen it mentioned in any of the possible upcoming releases.

Also noticed that Dennison's Weiss now has a product number listed too

Not just pricey in the States, Sammy, the UK price translates to $7.20. I believe you can get it at Village Beer for US$9.
