Propeller is great!

I found skull splitter to be a hot mess right now. I hope it evens out over time.

Tried a bottle of the van keizer last night and tonight finishing the bottle tonight, the sweetness is obviously coming through a lot more with a little less carbonation (though my old crappy cork wine stopper did a pretty good job).

What gets me is that little tag description at the LC underneath the bottles.

It advertises a re-usable cork, but I'd like to see the hands that can squeeze that cork back into that bottle.

So I guess since this is a 'winter' release and not a 'xmas' one there is no reason to think these beers will all be in the lcbo before Dec 24th?

I'm waiting for the Draak, Jewbelation, and the Nostradamus

I still haven't seen some of the Fall Release Beers yet in Ottawa, so I wouldn't count on it.
