A buddy and I had a Berny Wit last night. Minerality is not a word we used to describe it but we too commented on the subtle spicing versus the over-the-top that is so often seen. I also thought it was gose-y with the slightly sour/slightly salty flavour. Quite a delicious brew.

Don't ever say Alt is from Köln.
Well for starters, I didn't... but great advice thanks. :-?

Has the LCBO ever sold Cantillon?
So, it appears that there is indeed Cantillon brought into Ontario by Keep6 every year. They get about 60 cases. However, this is all sold to bars and restaurants through private order.

Is that price really for 6? I don't remember the last time I saw a six pack of anything for under $10 (at least anything I might buy).

There's no way, a 6 pk of their regular boston lager is $13.70...

if it is an error (and the item is in stock) it would be a good time to take advantage and buy a few 6-packs

Maybe Railway City should work on improving the regular Dead Elephant Ale, as opposed to releasing variations on a theme. Easily one of my bottom 3 "readily available" IPAs in the province.

I haven't liked any of Railway City's beers as they've had a weird house flavour that I don't like. About three weeks ago I had their pilsner at Get Well which was quite clean. None of that usual house flavour was there.
