LCBO Ontario Craft Brewery Feature - Aug 2011

Any idea when I will get to suck on a bottle of Super Collider, like a Parkdale prostitute? And then just eat the bottle? Like...a prostitute who's...hungry...for glass...?

God, I just want to try this beer...never got to at volo!

I agree with you. It's sadly a two pronged problem. We have so many people on this sparse board alone lamenting the LCBO's inability to deliver the beer they desire, and Canadian craft brewers going through brewing pains. Of course it's unfair to compare Canadian craft brewers to American, with all their advantages. Thankfully, they're making progress...finally.

I think you need to put down the Harvest Ale...

The Dunkel Buck is certainly taking its sweet time to get out of the Ottawa area...

+1 nice beer, yet hollow taste profile and lacking dimension.

Is Beau's going to make it out of Toronto & Ottawa?

It's an epic fail living in DR... I am constantly asking my sister to pick up beer for me downtown TO. We get ignored by both the sh!tty bars out here and the LCBO! Finally some is showing up in Ajax, Im on my way there in 10 to pick up some Garrison, ST Choklat and 1845...

Pickering Lickbo at Kingston and Brock had most of the fall releases...no Miami Weisse or Dunkel Buck or Pugnancious...i am cleaning them out of smashbomb by myself..Sep 8th bottling..
Durhamites rise up!

Just called the Mississauga location that is supposed to be getting this release and they informed me that the Dunkel Buck is on order and was supposed to be delivered twice but has yet to show up. They do expect to get it eventually. Perhaps there are other locations in the same boat.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if Dunkel Buck would ever make it to Mississauga

The Dunkel Buck is pretty tasty. I'm not a huge Beau's fan, but this beer has some nice flavour and balance to it. Not to say that the ones I've had in the past didn't, I just didn't find them to be very appealing to my palette. I'm interested to try their Night Marzen as well, because I've heard lots of positive feedback about it.

Agree. The Dunkel Buck is lovely stuff. Beau's really has a greater range than many of our craft brewers -- they make consistently good stuff in many styles.

But where oh where is Super Collider?
