Great feature.

A friend shared a bottle of the Past Masters XX a few weeks back and it was lovely. Not a million miles from some of the vintage ales.

My guess would be the same 25 stores that are "supposed" to get them like all the other releases, and then whatever random stores they show up at.

I really don't understand how these features work, as I've seen people complain about some stores on the list not getting stock, and completely random stores getting some. There's a store in Kitchener that's not on the list that have gotten in a few of the brewery feature beers. I'm not complaining though as it saves a trip to Waterloo or Guelph.

An impressive release. With these prices I'll be buying at least a case, as Fuller's brews outstanding English beers with very consistent quality control (I have yet to try an off beer from them). I find it strange that the rep who brings this brewery's kegs and casks into Ontario claimed to be ignorant of the release when Cale and I spoke to him at Cask Days. Don't understand how that could be, but I'm glad to see these highly rated brews coming to the 'BO!

Fullers, as a long-time LC supplier has never showed THIS kind of effort in the past.

But it's good for the brand and the LC has proven to itself that good stuff sells here. (Finally...)

The same rep Cratez and I talked to also mentioned kegs of Golden Pride, among others, showing up later in the year. Although I can't imagine I'll be lucky enough to see one here in town.

Nice listing will have to sample them all I think!

On a related Fullers note, how well does the Vintage Ale, which is part of the Xmas release, age?

Reason I ask, I just found 9 bottles of various vintages back to 2006. I seem to be missing last years though, might need to trade for it.
