Not a bad listing, some good first timers appearing. Not a bad price on the Renaissance Stonecutter Scotch Ale (this is going for double the price in Alberta), and the Les Trois Mousquetaires Porter Baltique 2011 (this is $13.95 in Alberta)

I guess the Marston's Goliath should be changed to Wychwood?

WOW!!! No Trafalgar!! When's the last time that happened?

Very happy to see the 1845 back. Its one of the beers that got me into craft.

Only one I may avoid is Choklat.

Will be buying lots of Celebrator....as long as Jesse doesn't get them first. :wink:

My mistake - they had the name listed as Goliath, and Marston's listed in a separate "Vendor" field, so I just did a cut & paste. Forgot that Marston's owns Wychwood. I'll fix it.

That's a solid list. I am surprised not to see Peche Mortel on there ... or is that typically part of the winter release?

Damn solid release, my poor wallet will suffer greatly.

Nothing bad except for maybe the Marston's VSOP, it'll be skunked in a week if they continue to use those silly clear bottles.

Nice list. Cool to see the 1845 back. I will buy a bunch of those probably. Nice to see the Charlevoix too. Although after going to Gatineau on friday and buying a bunch of beer, I wonder if Ontario will ever see the Charlevoix Vache Folle series of beer. Everyone of those I have ever had was awesome. Although their mascot/logo is a cartoon cow with crazy eyes so I doubt the LCBO would ever allow that.

Disappointing selection of stouts. People may love the Choklat but that shit is undrinkable to me. I've yet to have a maple beer I could finish so I'm not very hopeful about the Cannery offering, but I'll give it a try. Here's hoping Peche Mortel is part of the Halloween release.

I'll be buying lots of LTM Porter Baltique, Garrison IIPA, Celebrator, and 1845 - if given the chance, that is.

I've said it a hundred times, but I really wish that they'd switch it up and give us Mokah, Java or Oat for a change...

Don't remember seeing Ayinger Celebrator at the LCBO. Glad to see the 1845 back. It ages well.
