Pretty excited about BCS. One of the tastier chocolate stouts. That and I look forward to trying Jewbelation.

Is this an old listing?

Didn't the LCBO have issues with the Samichlaus?

Good list overall. I'll likely be buying most, if not all.

I just picked up the He'Brew Jewbelation 16 this past weekend in Rochester, haven't tried it yet though.

That it's like a million percent? I thought it was just a no show last year.

I believe it was a Social Responsibility issue as kids would want it because Santa's on the bottle.

Some googling got me this link.

My question is, how does the Caramilk liquor make it through SR??

That bar sure does come with lots of mystery and intrigue.

What format is the Yellow Snow in? $16.50 seems a bit pricey even for a 750ml.

at that price, Im thinking 6 pack. Either that or the price is incorrect.

It's most likely a 6 pack seeing as a 6 of Rogue Dead Guy goes for $15.45

Six pack. I already saw a bunch at Summerhill, though stock is down to a few. LCBO.com lists it at $13.60, though.

I'll believe in Samichlaus when I see him.
