Thanks Matt. Hopefully I will see this show up in Mississauga shortly.
#334 took 7 cases, they might not have recieved the inventory into stock yet

if they are already sold out they will certainly take more
Just picked up 6 bottles at store #334. Thanks as always for the heads up Matt.

Or did just a few stores get it ahead of time? I am debating making a trip to the one Missisauga store that is guaranteed to get it but it is a 15 minute drive that I don't want to make if they don't have it...

15 minute drive???? I wish.

Matt what about us loyal Hamilton Grand River Fans?

now that all stores have recieved there initial order ill start trying to spread more around, dundurn will likely get some
Thanks Matt,

PPA in at Dundurn as Matt promised.

I walked in and people were walking out with it, I dont think they were BT'ers, just regular shmoes.

And I didnt clean the shelf out.

Went to the brewery out of the blue to get some Miami Weiss, then stumbled upon some at Royal York LCBO randomly. The cap colors are different, white from the brewery whereas the LCBO cap is neon blue (?).

:lol: lmao. That's actually an awesome idea. Complete with shots of me getting out of bed every morning and checking the lickbow website, drinkvine, bartowel, and even ratebeer for any hint of something having shown up in my area. :P

Neat-looking bottle, and a nice tasting beer I'm getting used to each time I try it.

Honestly not worlds away from the Canuck ale in flavor and value-wise teetering on the expensive side. Maybe I'd thought a 'clone' of a famous hoppy wheat ale would be more wheaty. But def worth getting!

Dunkel Buck now showing inventory in Ottawa...Was never that into Miami Weiss when I first had it last year, but I'm really looking forward to the Beau's.

Also, there seems to be a big abv discrepancy: Beau's lists it as 6.8, while on the LCBO site it's 8.5!!! That's a big difference.
