I may have missed this somewhere but is the Corne du Diable a seasonal or will it be a general listing?

I'm betting it's just going to be for KW locals and Guelph. Sorry for the pessimism I just really can't see it extending beyond that. If I have the time/money I may be able to do a trade with you though if you really want some of the Highballer.

If it is only a local distribution, you can always ask your store for an interstore transfer.

You didn't get the memo? Man, Belgian, I'm really sorry to be the one to break the news to you, they were just joking all along about the Peche Mortel. I definitely picked up a note of sarcasm when the LCBO first made it known it was supposed to be included in the release. I was told recently they were actually just going to bring in Trafalgar's Vinegar Barrel Aged Super D-Duper Triple Mocha Cherry Oatmeal Double Imperial Stout (which weighs in at 5.4% abv).

I ordered the Peche Mortel this morning, they activated the number this morning, and I was able to add to the order before it went out

Happy to actually been able to grab some St Ambroise Pumpkin this year - last year it seemed to vanish off the shelves instantly. Either it's not as popular this year or kudos to LCBO for upping the order based upon past success. Either way, nice to have some for the season along with the others.

Yes, and it's actually a complex, interesting beer so I'm glad I didn't miss it this time around.

So does this mean I don't have to make the drive to GR for Plowman's, I can actually have a couple of cases shipped to 542?
