Not heard anything yet. I'll poke my contacts and see what they can tell me.

Hopefully they bring in every fruity chapeau beer in existence. I really like going into diabetic shock every time I have a beer! Yay !!

I want Rogue Brutal Bitter to come back at half the cost

The Brutal Bitter was already cheaper here than in the US. It was $6.45 here, vs $6.99 in Indiana. And that is a direct compairson. It would be $7.32 down there if you factored in the exchange.

I hope it comes back. I certainly didn't mind paying the price for it.

Sorry, forgot to email my contacts! I just sent over a note now, hopefully will hear something soon.

EDIT: Got this response in mere minutes - "We'll be sending the list over in a few days... Just finalizing a few details."

You found one sample point and you generalized across the entire united states. Nice

WHY would they send those BARTOWEL PEOPLE the list to moan about, dismiss and generally make fun of?!?!

I'm kidding, thee are usually a few hopeful gems in some LC seasonal releases of late. With Ontario's total lack of retail competition, these releases are actually relatively exciting comapred to, say, toasting a raisin bagel or playing crokinole with Grandma.

I just pray for Orval. If the whole Spring release consisted just of Orval I'd be happy.

I'm down to about half a dozen bocks... it'd be nice to see a good Maibock, along with some doppels.
