Amsterdam Autumn Hop
Any more info on these two, Peen? Format, ABV, etc? Or more importantly when we might see them on shelves? I'd imagine soonish, right?
Nickel Brook Autumn Harvest - 6% - 750ml
Amsterdam Autumn Hop - 6.5% - 500ml
Thanks! Looking forward to both of these.

Zappa brews have had a litigious background, wasn't some brewery doing a brew for each album, until they had a disagreement with his wife and they stopped it?

edit: yes Lagunitas - no beer called "Absolutely Free", "Burnt Weenie Sandwich" or "Hot Rats"

Fan of the tall cans. Often this or Brooklyn is my go to at certain LCBO's when there's slim pickings.

I remember the Peculiar being in six packs at the Beer Store about ten years ago. I enjoyed it a lot then, but I was also still transitioning into craft and was certainly not appreciative of hop bitterness, which this beer didn't have.

Had some fresh Garrison IIPA this summer in Halifax. The abv is up from 7 to 8% and was drinking beautifully. Hopefully they're fresh bottles...
