That's over a dollar cheaper than it once was, no? One of my go to summer beers, so good.

Don't count on that price. I was Ayinger's agent for over 10 years and I cannot believe it will sell at that price. The LCBO will often post items at prices that are not real and this one is just not real.

The new one (Fire & Blood Red Ale) will be released in NY on March 31st to coincide with the 4th season of GoT (April 6th)

I'm guessing it will show up some time in the summer, but you can check with Horizon Beers

Originally 4 Game of Thrones beers were planned but it looks like their popularity has resulted in at least 2 more for a total of six to be released, according to USA Today:

Can't say I'm surprised, I expect they'll likely be releasing a new one with each season

So the stuff that didn't sell last year is being re-packaged and sold as a vintage release? lol

I can't be the only one around here with ZERO interest in these Muskoka "cellar aged" beers, can I?

If you want your beer to sit around for a year before selling it, throw it in a bourbon or wine barrel.

I bet it's the same thing as the "cellared" Winter Beard - aka. "we didn't sell our entire batch of last year's beer, so we took it back, put it away for a year, and are going to release it for $5 more than it would cost for a fresh bottle, even though it probably doesn't taste as good"

+1 Really put off by this practice, I haven't bought any cellar-aged or vintages from them.

That was me asking about the Rochefort 10. Curious as to the price hike on this one.
