It looks like the Garrison feature will start showing up the week of January 29th and it will feature Garrison Black IPA, Grand Baltic Porter, Winter Warmer, Pils and their Spruce Beer.

They're all listed online already. Does anyone know if they'll be widespread across Ontario or just select Toronto locations like a few other recent products?

I'm interested to see whether we get the Noble Pils again or the Alpine Spring Munich helles lager, which is their new spring seasonal.

There is a post in the Garrison Feature thread that states that it will be the usual 25 stores.

Sping??? I'm still waiting for some of the Christmas releases to hit the shelves.
I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

That st Berny gift pack. Unless it came and went without me knowing it.

I never saw the Chimay come in either.

We're not done with the Winter release yet either. Affligem Tripel, Brooklyn Monster Ale and DDC Solstice d'Hiver are barely trickling out.
