One of my all-time favourite DIPAs. Thank you Roland & Russell.
You're welcome. Since the cat is out of the bag, we may as well confirm that Un*Earthly will be part of (along with three other beers from our portfolio) the upcoming Spring 2012 release.

We are particularly excited because we always believed that Un*Earthly deserved a spot on the LCBO shelves and it took three if not four attempts over a course of several years before it got accepted.

Good to hear! Thanks for continually brining in some great beers from Souther Tier. You guys should become the agents for Ithaca as well :)

Surprise after surprise - and importers like you are a big part of this New Wave of decent LCBO imports.('NWODLCI' as it is otherwise known, or 'neewodlicky'.)

And, um the Gemini was dangerously tasty - I know beers of this level will never be that cheap here, but my poor wallet is in for it. LOL

My fellow old-timers will remember Smuttynose showing up at the LCBO nearly 10 years ago. I think Esprit was the agent.
Here's to the slow path.

i posted that the other day in beeradvocate.
i remember talking to either Esprit or R&R (pretty certain it was Esprit) and they hinted that there was a Trappist surprise coming our way.

one more think to whet your appetite: we may be on the verge of getting another awesome Belgian beer via private order. not saying which one just yet...

Trappist surprise of, like, the Rochefort variety?
