Chili beer? Gack. I'd rather have Night Marzen any day.

^^I wonder if their six pack sales have slipped? Tankhouse's glory days were circa 2007 (for me at least), but in single can form i might revisit once every decade or so.

They are not the seemingly edgy circa 2004 brewery they once were to me - no, they mostly stayed frozen in time while everything around them changed, and the product lineup does seem a bit parochial by today's standards. But still not a bad company, I'm with you on going to cans of Tankhouse once in a while. Mix it up!

I hear you about revisiting something from the past. I lived in Alberta for a long time and frank a lot of Big Rock, mostly Traditional and McNallys. I saw Trad in the LCBO the other day and almost picked it up. I saw the price tag was over $14 and decided the nostalgia factor did not justify that price. It may have been one of the best options available at the time but things have progressed and the only thing that has progressed about Trad is the price! If I saw a single for sale I'd take it home but not a sixer.

maybe someone from Esprit could let me know which pack this is? Is it the one with the glass? Does it have the wit beer in it?

Also, are the St Bernardus wit 4-packs that are currently at the lcbo a regular listing?

Presume it will come in cans in ON though, like the rest of the Creemore lineup?

It was in bottles like that one at the LCBO media tasting yesterday, for what that's worth. Haven't seen the final listing, so that might have just been a sample thing.

How do you get into the media tasting? Invite only?

It helps if you're media.
