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

I used to sell beer. Now I don't.
Thanks! Don't know why I was having a hard time finding it.... I might have been leaving the apostrophe out or something.MatttthewGeorge wrote:Listed as BEST OF BEAU'S — LCBO 320267boney wrote:Anyone got a LCBO# to follow stock of this? Can't seem to find it on the good ol' LCBO site.

i had the screamin beaver last night, and your right the alcohol was really well hidden, lots of oak character as well. i dont think it drank anything like an IIPA but it was a good young oak american barley wine.JeffPorter wrote:The Screaming Beaver I had last night (bottled on the 26th) was probably the most drinkable 10% beer I've ever had.GregClow wrote:I once bought a Lug Tread that had been bottled the day before.

Thought so too - I've never been a huge fan of the Beaver River, but this was fantastic.matt7215 wrote:

Drank the Matt's Sleepy Time last night - probably the first time since two years ago...I can pick out a little oak, but the aroma is very "dubbelish", but the stout flavours are there in the roasty malts. Another great beer.

My request still stands for any store that currently has inventory or will soon have inventory. I live in Thunder Bay so can guarantee we won't see a single drop of Beau's unless its via a transfer.j@beaus wrote:There are more 4-packs being shipped late this week and next week. Check the LCBO site for inventory in your area.

. Here's to hoping someone feels bad for us stranded up north and is willing to set up the transfer! 
overall i was really dissapointed in the quality of the beer in this pack. the packaging is awesome, all of the styles are interesting and rarely brewed in ontario, but the beer just wasnt very good.
actually the screaming beaver was a decent barley wine, but the patio saison was like a dry hefe, and both the belgian pale ale and matts sleepytime stout were problematic.
ive never been very impressed with beaus and this pack has put them on my do not buy list.
IMO the best thing ive had from them was the weisse-o-lantern and that wasnt even close to a pumpkin weisse, it was a really good spiced saison but not even close to what it was advertised as.

Agree Weiss-o-lantern was good, the NightMaertzen not at all bad, also agree the Patio Saison was for me a bit non-descript.matt7215 wrote:IMO the best thing ive had from them was the weisse-o-lantern and that wasnt even close to a pumpkin weisse, it was a really good spiced saison but not even close to what it was advertised as.
Funny the confused identity between Weissbier, Belgian Wit and Saison that pervades Ontario! 2¢
