Matt... don't be a tease!

I think it would be neat if Mill Street decided to put their imperial chocolate stout in, but as far as I know its going to be draft only.

Nice... I'm down to my last bottle!

(I'd still like to see Wellington return sometime though).

This also does not disappoint! Hopefully this and the past Highballer Halloween release means Grand River will be regularly getting in on the seasonal releases from now on.

That's what my brother understood from Rob or Bob. They are trying to manage their tanks to be able to produce the regulars and one seasonal at a time. Apparently they are having trouble keeping up with LCBO demand for Town Hall...

Fingers crossed.

Just got the Spring release list from the LCBO (as did Troy, it seems), so I'm about to start a new thread for discussion. I've retitled this thread accordingly, and will be locking it so discussion can go to the new one.
