nothing terribly exciting.. other than the Cuvee Van De Keizer Blauw

was hoping the st bernadus gift pack would be part of this

Anyone know if the 6 Belgian Exclusive Ales will include different beers this year?

That and La Terrible are the highlights for me!

This should save me some money, or at least save me some shelf space in my basement, since it doesn't look like there are a lot of packs coming in that would come with glasses or other free stuff that I would want, that I don't already have.

Will be grabbing these.
Kind of interesting (and in other ways sad) that these beers are the two I want most and yet they both come from relatively close to Toronto.

What I really want is the Westy 12 though.

can't believe i'm about to say this, but:

looks like Esprit was right and Westy 12 won't be released until 2013.

what bullshit. thanks, LCBO

That is an impressive price on the Keizer!

Indeed. Any info on which packs will have glassware? Some I've seen in the past, but others I don't know about. King? Wytchwood? Creemore?

btw....anyone out there with a 2009 Blauw for trade or share? I've got 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011. Would be willing to share in a vertical tasting or trade some good free market Alberta shizznit.

Yeah I really hope they are still good then, seeing as how these age terribly and all.

St Ambroise Vintage, La Terrible, Fuller's Vintage, LTM and a few of the Belgians are on my wants list!

we're the centre of the (Canadian) universe. seeing that Manitoba got their shipment 2 months ago? that's what makes me laugh.

oh, and the fact that Horizon thought it would be in stores by Nov 1

True... Though the LCBO has never been known to be efficient. I've got a few bottles coming from Calgary in my next trade. And I might get my buddy to ship a 6-er since they're on sale at most of the stores for $60 right now!
