And where, pray tell, does one find this product for $3?
...or an $8 haircut.
I don't know if it's still the case, but you used to be able to get $4 haircuts in Chinatown a few years back.

They're both Autumn seasonal releases this year. Not year round nor coming sooner.
I look forward to Autumn beers each Christmas. The Oktober should be real nice with brats on the grill.

Either way that is good news. It would be nice to have a solid stout or two available year-round in Ontario.

add to that a world class porter at a great price in fullers.

year round access to a impy is about all we need to fill out the stout porter listings but we do get a few very nice, cellar worthy impys each winter

I spent my hard earned money once on Sinha and won't make that mistake again...

At $1.90 bottle I think Sinha is a great value if you like a Foreign Export style stout

And that is the key, I think. It is a style that a lot of people do not prefer due to the sweetness.

But at $1.90, it isn't much of a loss.......what's $1.90 anyway...........1/7th of a cup of Starbucks coffee?
