Their breakfast stout is definitely a tasty beer...sometimes prefer it to both the imperial and KBS. Will be interesting to see what else they bring in.

Here's my best guess:

- Breakfast Stout
- Double Trouble
- Cerise
- Porter
- Dirty Bastard
- Pale Ale

Would certainly love to buy the Porter and Stout in quantity.

They aren't making Cerise any more, so we won't be seeing that one :) And it looks like this will be a November (?) release, so unless they brew a special batch of double trouble, we won't get that one either.

Based strictly on their brewing schedule (assuming no special LCBO batches), I would guess the following:

- Pale Ale
- Porter
- Dirty Bastard
- Breakfast Stout
- Red's Rye

Cerise will be back, it's just that last year's cherry crop was so terrible they couldn't do it, so they brought back Rubaeus, which I personally prefer anyway. Just makes me wish for them to make another batch of Blushing Monk though.

It's a safe bet that we'll get a few more of their regulars, but if we're getting Breakfast Stout I wouldn't necessarily bet on another seasonal. I'd love to see Red's Rye, but know they're especially careful with its freshness, so it'd likely only work if they made for an october release (the only overlap between RR + BS). But given the choice between past-its-prime-RR vs none, I'll take the latter and enjoy it when it's in season and/or on tap. so damn good on tap.

if we are talking Nov/Dec, it does open up the option for Backwoods Bastard, which would be pretty excellent too.

Would Dirty Bastard or Backwoods Bastard make it past the name police at the LCBO?

I assume so since the LCBO sells 'Fat Bastard' wines.. but you never know.

I know the Porter is in it for sure as the Founders Rep was talking about it coming to the LCBO at the Founders event down in Buffalo awhile back.

What about the All day IPA? The Red's Rye is going seasonal now I believe...seasonal or reduced distribution.

Great news about the Founder's release. Curious to see if the regular Breakfast Stout label is approved by the LCBO, though:

I won't be surprised if they have to do an alternate version for release up here.
