Just thought I'd toss that strategy out there for you... Good luck!

Thanks for the advice, Adrenaline. I am fortunate to have friends and family in the GTA who sometimes oblige my requests for beer.

I think it was Belgian who mentioned something about "table presence" and the Lupulus has it in spades. It's my inlaws last night here and I brought one out and it's gone over like gangbusters.

I'm just happy everybody here can experience Lupulus for the 1st time. Sharing is caring.

I plan on buying a few more.

Im glad i got to try it but its not for me. Ive come to the conclusion that i am not a fan of any belgian styles. Im going to stick with my love of american IPA's and stouts. Glad to see that others are enjoying it though.

Plenty of Lupulus at the Brock St store in Parkdale this afternoon, as well an Unearthly and a couple others from the release.

Any word on the Mikeller or Thornbridge IPA?

I love quoting State Propaganda!

It is a damn cool bottle, and though this beer's a hair more sharp and strong than I usually like, it's worth grabbing a few more maybe. Although it's getting so warm this March, it's really IPA season...

last I heard, Mikeller was on the boat, and Thornbridge is in the warehouse, ready to go (beer guy I spoke to was hopeful it would be this week).

I rang the LCBO infoline yesterday and the person I talked to didn't know when the Jaipur IPA is going to be released. He said I should talk to the importer. This beer better come out soon

Not sure if this has been posted here yet (and I missed the boat), but the Muskoka spring oddity will be "dry hopped strong ale with unique flavours a plenty. we're not quite sure what to classify it as..." still not sure about those unique flavours though...

If it doesn't we should have a plan B. I think what we want to do is send Len to their front desk as a distraction and then send alpha team, consisting of Cratez, Belgian and PubStyle up their left flank in a pincer movement with gamma team, consisting solely of Tapsucker. It's a small team, but of course he'll have the heavy ordinance. Beer helmets on, everyone.

We'll make them pay for slightly inconveniencing us, alright.

It's the second day of spring God Damnit! Are we going to stand here letting this Nanny State push us around, tell us when we can try these spring seasonals. Hells No! Hoo-Ah!

Meh - I'm kinda bored with spring - lets get on with the summer seasonals already!

Dammmit Jordan, I have a cracked lip and this is making me laugh and grin painfully.

Can I be on some Beta team, where it's just me drunkingly hurling empty Zywiec bottles at the cooper street warehouse?
