A trio of Modern Times beers just popped up (1,2,3). I've had a few Modern Times beers, always stellar.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I see they're all highly rated on BA and RB. Looking forward to trying these.

I am a fan of MT since they started. I get their amazing coffees delivered right to my door.

I'm down to my last bottle of last year's KBS. I emailed Founders asking if KBS would be back in the LCBO and received this response this morning.
Thanks for your interest and support!

We will definitely have KBS back at the LCBO this year.

Timing will coincide more in line with the U.S. release so probably will hit in April or early May.

I sent them an email to ask if anything else will be coming to Ontario. Response:
"We definitely plan to have a couple more brands come out that way in the future but nothing we are able to share publicly at this moment."

It's odd that so much MT arrived with basically zero promotion. I'd bet most of the ~200 cans my suburban local received will languish at $4.25 apiece.

Overstock from out West dumped in Ontario?!? Would be too funny.

GoodLot Farmstead Ale (569228) is in the LCBO website but not showing stock. I had a can at a restaurant on Thursday and enjoyed it.

I'd bet it's around $30 per bottle. Are Cascade beers typically hitting shelves so old?
