Yeah, that's what jumped out at me too, despite the Goose Island inclusions (which are great to see BTW). Does Keith's actually have a craft division now?GregClow wrote:PeenSteen wrote:Alexander Keiths Cascade Hop Ale

Wow. That's... interesting...

Grabbed a case at the Richmond Hill location.esprit wrote:As of yesterday, Orval is in 23 stores around the province with more to come in the next few days.
Good to see they have dividers in the 24 packaging now, unlike 5 or so years ago last time I bought it.
Bottles say bottled on 09/10/2012
This is very young for me. Of course a fine brew. Needs another year at least I think to bring out its true brilliance, but that yeast I love so much is there.

Now that I can finally buy this again I had to break open one of the last three stragglers from my first purchase.StevenThrasher wrote: Bottles say bottled on 09/10/2012

These say:
bottled on 22.07.2004 so 8 1/2 years old and technically "expired" 3 1/2 years ago.
The head and hops were noticeably lighter but the beer is far darker and more complex. That lovely "horse blanket" can't be denied.
These were my favourite batch (had some 2005s too) and they are a little past their prime but even so I like them better then the current state of the new batch. Time will tell what the new batch turns into.
Think I will have to get some more to last me the next 8 1/2 years.
YES. All Keith's beers really have to be experienced at home, on kegs to really 'get' these beers and why those that like them like them a lot.matt7215 wrote:mmmmmm, lcbo kegszombi69 wrote:I was reading that the Keith's Hop offerings were only going to be on tap to see how they sell to see if they are worthy of bottling...

They will ship a minimum of one case of kegs to any LC outlet. Tricky to move, of course but worth having a few spare kegs on hand for beer trades.matt7215 wrote:cool, whats the lcbo product #? id like to get some of these kegs shipped to a local lcbo outletzombi69 wrote:I'm enjoying my keg right now in fact!Belgian wrote: YES.

- the LCBO doesnt deal in kegs, these beers are coming to the LCBO,heebes wrote:is the sarcasm on this board this thick or am i actually reading that wrong...?
you want a KEG of keiths?!
- it was posted that these beers are only availible in kegs and that a keg was being consumed
- so either the LCBO is doing a special keg release of these brand new exciting keiths offerings or were getting less exciting bottles or cans of 2 different keiths products
