Hockley Valley Black and Tan coming to LCBO
I spoke with the local rep yesterday, and he showed me the new Black and Tan from Hockley Valley. Product should be available soon.

Yes, it is going to be in cans. The really good news here is that Hockley isn't replacing one of their old SKUs with this product. They were given an additional SKU, so now they have a little more room to play with.

But last night I tried to make my own black ad tan from Hockley, using Jer's suggestion of the dark and the stout. It was good.

Heard from Andrew at Hockley, who confirmed that they'll be brewing a new beer to serve as the "Tan" half of the Black & Tan.
The tasting notes on the can will read: "Hockley Black and Tan is dark mahogany in colour, with notes of coffee, smoke and chocolate and hints of sweet grainy malt yet finishes crisp, light and dry."
