If anyone missed out in Toronto and still wants one, Yonge and Eglinton will be getting 8-10 bottles in at some point this week. I transfered them in from Ottawa (you guys are sleeping on them out there!) so let me know if you want one put aside for you.

I urge anyone who is even curious, to grab a bottle of this. It's pricey but I really liked it and it's a pretty interesting experience.

I've been loving beer for almost 30 years, and compared to co-workers, family, hockey teammates etc I'm a bit of a beer geek. But I've only been a regular reader of this site for a few months now and I'm way behind the geekiness of the regular posters here (that's meant to be complimentary, not critical).

Panil is not a beer that I would have likely decided to try based on my own likes and dislikes - never thought of 'sour' as a desirable characteristic in beer. But based on all the favourable comments I have read about Panil, I bought a bottle. I'm going to have it next Saturday.

It's sitting in the fridge now. I'm assuming I should take it out some time before I want to drink it and let it warm up a little. Can anyone advise?

As most people say, it's worth trying. I really like sour beers, and this is one of them. Give it a 1/2 hour to 1 hour outside of the fridge. Think green apples in regards to taste, but might not be as sour as you are expecting. Enjoy, there are still a few rolling around in Burlington/Hamilton area LCBO's!

I won't be in a hurry to have another, but I'm glad I tried it; it is definitely an "interesting" beer.
