That's quite the price difference on IIPAs in the tall can format. Immodest was $5 and GLB's IIPAs are usually $5 at their retail store.

I looked into the Collective Arts Imperial IPA a little more.

It's released at the brewery this Saturday November 19 at 11am. Limit 4 cans per person.

It will be available at the Summerhill LCBO and King & Spadina LCBO on December 4 (or thereabouts). Also available via online ordering.

But the real estate! If your Hamilton or Toronto home is going up 300 bucks a day, who cares? WOOO! Infinite spending power to buy overpriced sh-t!! No market price crash in sight! EVER! Just GO with it man, don't bring the room down...

So, we're (slowly) starting to move away from the overpriced bombers and sliding into the overpriced tall boys

I have the Finest Kind in can yesterday bought at Cooper St and it had a Best Before of July 2017 on the bottom of it. Tasted great and no floaties found when poured into a glass.

Picked up a Go to IPA yesterday at Summerhill, canned 9/23 I think... it was a little smudged. Obviously not very fresh, but thought I'd give it a go.

This is certainly disappointing, that's an increase from $0.73/100 ml to $0.95/100 ml. It's especially disappointing since cans are cheaper than bottles to transport, and as singles there's no 4-pack carton either. Admittedly $9.95 for the 4-pack was a pretty good deal for an RIS, but this increase seems excessive.

Confusingly enough it seems that they have two, with different prices. One is marked discontinued but still in stock at some locations.

Anybody have any idea what's going on here?

"[PRICE INCREASE] Nickel Brook Old Kentucky Bastard (750 mL bottle) is now $15.95 "

sheesh, didn't this used to be 10.95 a few years ago?
