OCB Discovery Pack 10 - Fall 2011 - anyone have any idea what will be in this pack?

Well since the majority of Ontario brewers have still yet to step up to the plate and make a year-round stout or porter - I'm guessing Mill St Coffee Porter will make its usual appearance. Maybe Netherworld.

Here's hoping we see a malt revolution this season, along the lines of our hop invasion this past summer.

Mill Street Coffee Porter is year round. It's a general list item.

Sorry, I misread. I thought you were implying it wasn't lol.

Muskoka Brewery has a picture up on their Facebook page; beers aren't listed, but from what I can see:

Mad Tom
Black Oak Nut Brown
F&M Stonehammer Dark Ale
Nickel Brook Ale
Old Credit Amber
and something I do not recognize at all

Coffee porter is certainly not there.
Not a very exciting release, as expected.

Actually, I'm thinking it's Trafalgar Smoked Oatmeal Stout

These packs are useless.

They can't be that useless can they. I mean if they were they would have stopped after OCB Discovery Pack #1 or #2. The fact that they are on #10 must say something about how successful they have been.

I think they're a great promotional tool that can potentially wean people off macros by introducing them to better beer. If these packs had've been around when I was first getting into craft beer, I would've gained an interest in OCB stuff a lot sooner than I did.

Exactly, and even if the packs don't have anything in them that certain posters might want, giving smaller brewers more promotion, which would hopefully lead to more revenue can't really be a bad thing can it. Especially if the additional revenue allows Ontario brewers to expand, both in their capacity and the types of beers they brew.
