Interesting. I liked Hitachino Espresso Stout so I'm interested to see what they do with a saison.

Some interesting releases. Both GLB beers are great. Nice to see those get some distro.

Chimay Gold is the lower ABV offering they used to reserve for the monestary?

Yes. Not traditionally sold outside the monastery, at least not until recently. 4.8% blonde ale.

Ritterguts Gose is in the process of being listed. Best Gose IMO.

Yay! Which Kasteel is it that we had before - don't think it was this one.

I wish we had more Belgian beers. I mean, I don't think we've ever had Achel (not in many years anyways) and it's been a while since we've had Maredsous gift pack. Ditto for La Trappe Quad. Or how about a nice LCBO made giftpack/collection of all the trappist beers, including the newer ones too. Yum. Certainly better than stale IPAs from the West Coast.

We had Kasteel Donker a year and a half or so ago.. and Achel Bruin around the same time. I still have a case left of each (and they are drinking fantastic)

Haven't had the Robohop yet, but the Lupulus tastes as awesome as ever. Always a welcome sight at the BO shelves, despite it's (now) inflated $$$.
