This is great, those 'fancy' Beau's releases do cost more to make and often sell for at least twenty a bottle @ better bars like The Only (who do a fantastic job of keeping their selection interestng, go Fabian!)

I might grab a few of these packs; I loved the Farm Table, and the Saison would be something to lay down for half a year at cellar temp.

Thank you Beau's for putting your 'cult' bers out in the stores!

Beau's has been eerily quiet since Oktoberfest, but I noticed this on my timeline today.

"Mmmm Matt's sleepy time stout! Best of beaus, our holiday sampler, should be available in store by next weekend, LCBOs shortly after that." -

Hey Guys

The Best of Beau's pack is coming out very soon, being bottled now. It will be available to all the stores we currently distribute to if they decide to carry it. There is only 1 run being done so it will be a limited release.

Sometimes you gotta grab Matt O'Hara by the lapels and shake him until he brews his best beer.

I once bought a Lug Tread that had been bottled the day before. I drank it that night - best bottle of LT I'd ever had.

So yeah, Beau's is pretty good about getting fresh stuff out there.

Anyone got a LCBO# to follow stock of this? Can't seem to find it on the good ol' LCBO site.
