What an odd choice for their second (?) LCBO release. Would have liked the hopfenweisse.

To each his own; I'd prefer a black IPA. Not questioning that, but just curious why you refer to it as an "odd" choice?

Fair enough. Mostly just because I think it's a silly style of beer and don't believe it has been one of their year-round releases.

so...
when should we expect the influx of Sierra Nevada, Stone and BrewDog?

better question: when will be getting these regularly on tap?

even better question: what positive and/or negative effect will great US beer on tap have on many of the mediocre Ontario craft beer we're currently drinking (likely due to a lack of other options)?

Summer 2021?

Apparently starting next year (for Sierra Nevada at least).

I like to support local, but I don't support mediocrity. Hopefully, some of the mediocre Ontario brewers up their game and the ones that don't go out of business.

It really depends how big this 'influx' is though. Could have no significant impact at all.

Very little. Had a few different Sierra Nevada's at Cask Days. They were good, but hardly knocked my socks off. "Great" U.S. beer that puts our local brewers to shame is largely a myth IMO, at least insofar as what we're likely to get on tap. I'll continue to support Great Lakes, Nickel Brook and others, thanks.

I've heard February for Stone.

A local brewery that I'll leave nameless was complaining about these new beers coming through. They were pretty much told to make better beer to compete with the US brews.
