Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

You poor, delusional man.
I think he may have been joking...
Also, I did also try the smoked oatmeal stout and even though it was bad I thought it would be awful. I guess you can say it exceeded my expectations....still bad though
Hey, at least someone got the fact that I was joking. On a more serious note, I am so full of DDc beers fresh from the tap, I don't give a rats ass about the entire release!!!!!!! Ahhhh yeah
If you`re reading this, there`s a 15% chance you`ve got a significant drinking problem. Get it fixed, get recovered!

That sounds about right. Peak month for the fall release is December usually, with the remaining products rolling in around January.
Also, the Wychcraft sucks ass. I'm actually kind of impressed how pieces of crap such as this get chosen over countless better British beers. Thanks LCBO!

So we are unlikely to see most of these until December? If so, that is very disappointing. Can the same be said for the Halloween release?

No. Profound cynicism is par for the course in these parts. Some of the fall beers are already available, and you can rest assured that the rest will continue to trickle in.
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

Thanks. I have been watching the inventory trickle in on drinkvine.com and so far hasn't exactly been a great showing in the first week of the fall release. Here's to hoping that we see the Garrison IIPA, Peche Mortel, Pumking and Chokolat sooner rather than later.

It was included in the media tasting last Friday, so unless something has happened in the last few days, it should be in the release.
Dark Star is appearing in the LCBO online inventory now, and is available in several stores, including Laird & Eglinton in Toronto. I expect it'll roll out to more stores in the coming week.

It's a nice one, for sure looking forward to some hoppy sessions.
What I like about well-made IPAs is each one has its own strong personality, and I have to adjust a little to each one but then there's nothing like it (Little Scrapper and Corne du Diable are also like that.)
