Funny, I just had one of my last remaining 1845 on Sunday and was just thinking they should bring it back. It's a great beer.

Had my second-last bottle last night. Still a great beer, but I don't think that further aging is going to help. It seems to have peaked about six months ago.

A good consolation beer - if you have access to it, only a few LCBOs seem to stock it regularly - is the Brakspear Triple. I definitely prefer the 1845 but, like it, that Brakspear has a standing invitation to my cellar anytime.

I am surprised that the LCBO doesn't carry more Fuller's products. I mean anytime I go into just about any LCBO they always seem to have a ton of London Pride and ESB, which would lead me to believe they sell pretty well (otherwise why would they order more)? So if that is the case, why not start bringing in 1845, or Honey Dew or the Brewer's Reserve (or some of the seasonals)?

Thanks. I was just curious because you'd have to think if the Porter, ESB and Pride were good sellers, and the seasonals experienced good success, that it would benefit them to try and get another brand or two permanently listed?!?! Maybe it's the bottles that's the problem? The three year-round listings are all in cans. coincidence?

I noticed last time I was in a Gatineau SAQ that London Pride, ESB and Poter all come in Bottles in Quebec. Not sure if that means anything, other than the fact that bottles do get shipped to North America at least.

Premier's website says offices in Ontario, Alberta and B.C., so maybe they don't represent the QC market

Got a bottle of the Golden Pride in my fridge Im trying to save because when it's gone, it's gone. Definitely a fan of Fuller's and would love to see more.
