Really interesting gift packs...

I know the st. ambroise will include the scotch ale...also looking forward to the St. Bernadus (I never got that last year - but I've still got about 6 of these left over from last year), and what's the amsterdam and king brewery gift packs about? Sound cool.

Maybe this year, I'll actually buy them for others and not just myself.

Amsterdam is one can of Blonde, Nut Brown, Big Wheel and KLB Raspberry. King is one bottle of each of the three brews they make.

Unibroue 17 is one of the best beers I have ever had. Awesome.

At 3 years old it is majestic, so I'll take 4.

I would be oddly annoyed by that.

The St. Peter's is always good and usually has the Red Ale which is not available normally. The glass is nice too.

It's almost certainly new batches of 17. This beer is being re-released in both Ontario and Quebec; I doubt it would have been feasible to store a sufficient quantity for four years.

Really looking forward to the St. Bernardus gift pack. In my top 10 for sure. Still have 6 of last years. Does anyone know if the gift pack is going to include any of their other offerings? Also pumped to see Unibroue's 17 and Sam Adams Tripel.
