the more i think about it, the less likely i'll go grab a bottle on Friday.
$40 for that. there aren't many bottles that i'd spend $40 on. some high end barrel-blended Bruery bottles. that's about it.
so who knows...

I would definitely pick up a bottle (even at that price) if it wasn't such a limited release and had greater distribution throughout the province. Drive down to Toronto to buy a beer? Hell No.

I'd rather buy 4 bottles of Rodenbach Vintage, or some Cuvée Rene when it is released.

I would be more likely to buy the BCBS for that price as a 4 pack, and I would prefer the regular, or coffee variant. I'm expecting the Vanilla Rye to be syrupy like Southern Tier Chokolat but even sweeter and boozier.

Anyone know if a new batch of Rochefort 10 will be hitting Ontario before Xmas? Barrie LCBO's have been sold out for a couple months now.

Rodenbach Vintage on the shelves at Summerhill.

As well as Charcoal Porter - which is drinking great.

I wonder where Josh got the info about BCBS - maybe here? I haven't seen anything official about it. Has anyone else?

Could be here, since he didn't have any more specifics than we have.

When are we supposed to line up for this?

I've heard that a Goose Island PR package is going out this week, perhaps it is related to BCBS. If I see anything I'll post up the info.
