I always look forward to the Westmalle Dubbel. It's one of the few Belgians that I like.

Good to hear. Previously BS only made it available in kegs for like $300, but the whole enterprise with equipment and all seemed a bit cost prohibitive. $4.00 seems a tinge high, but its not too bad.

guess the 'BO decided to reverse their stance on the label? remember when this could be found around ultra cheap if you knew which stores to go in and ask for it... hidden in the back room of course.

Q: Who led the pedants' revolt?

A: Which Tyler.

You're talking about the Tremens, I assume?

It's going to be at the Beer Store, not the LCBO. So the previous issue that kept it off the shelves - which was the name, I think, not the label - presumably won't apply anymore.

it's hard to keep track which laws the lcbo is choosing to enforce on which days and for which reasons. yeah, was referring to spinrsx posting that delerium tremens is going to be at TBS... i'd just expect whatever reason it was removed from LCBO shelves would still apply regardless of location.

The writeup in The Star today says it's "on shelves" but TBS site still lists it as "Kegs only". If The Star is correct, $2.95 per bottle ain't bad.

Of course, this allows the Board to take itself seriously.

Correct. Listing in place but doubt any stock as yet.

$3.95 a bottle, $89.95 a 24.

Providing it actually gets here this time :)
It will arrive. The issue last time was that the Brooklyn 750ml bottles are heavy and the 12 pack was over the LCBO weight limit for cases by a few ounces. They are being repacked into 8 's in order to be compliant this time.
