Was at the brewery last weekend but didn't bother to ask, sorry. Had a sample and grabbed a growler though, and it's in good shape. Slightly hoppier than past iterations, if I recall correctly, but that could just be the freshness.

One neat thing was that they did a run of regular 12oz bottles of LugTread for an upcoming OCB mix pack.

That was the only Beau's beer that I was ever 'Meh' about. Glad to hear it's hoppier this year. I will always try it regardless.

I assume we can expect limited LCBO distribution like Beaver River?

Agreed, it is my least favourite of their seasonals (or one-offs), but I did enjoy my sample. Hope they brew the Sticke-Alt again... that was definitely an improvement on the basic recipe.

Last time I was at the brewery for a tour, some of the Sticke Alt, was aging in bourbon barells, as was the Bogfather, and I think the Belgian Stout. No idea when these are gonna be available though.
