The Golden must have been here at some point last year, 'cause I rated it (6/14/2008)!?! Maybe in singles? I do agree about the Ruby Red, though - definitely one of their best.GregClow wrote:Nice - the Golden is new to us, and I really liked the Ruby last year.

Yeah, I have a rating for it too.

St. Peter's Golden Ale was part of the summer 2008 release.
It appears that Maredsous have redisgned their packaging since last year. The new glass is a shorter chalice style in comparison to the previous one and it is very sharp.
Has anyone seen the design of this years' Hobgoblin t-shirt? Anyone know whether the resemblence of the Wychwood characters to the characters of Discworld is 'intentional'?

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
no t-shirt this year, instead you get a glass very similar to the st peterscannondale wrote:St. Peter's Golden Ale was part of the summer 2008 release.

Could also the their new Christmas Ale... or the Vieille Cuvée, which I like more then the Radieuse.Gedge wrote:Wonder if we'll get the Triple and Radieuse or 9 (based on the contents of Leffe gift packs I've seen listed elsewhere)?carguy wrote:I'm looking forward to the Leffe gift pack, and I've only tried the Blonde and Brune up until now.
Just as long as it isnt a cheap attempt to dunk their Ruby on us poor unsuspecting Canadians...

Noticed this too! Wasn't overly impressed with their glass before, but grabbed one of these. A very nice package, nice looking bottles and labels...and a great glass. Think of a Westmalle type stem on the chalice....solid.cannondale wrote: It appears that Maredsous have redisgned their packaging since last year.

Also grabbed the Innis and Gunn pack...decent glass, and I enjoy their beers enough to give 'em a go.
Couldn't resist a cheesy buy too...don't think it's on the lsit on the first page...but there is a Faxe Premium Gift Pack:
LCBO #131771
You get a 1 litre can and a heavy duty 1 litre mug. Don't recall ever having the Faxe premium...but not expecting anything, I just couldn't resist the massive mug.
