Curious. Will this be Molson's first publicly-available warm-fermented beer?
Molson Export?

By "warm-feremented", do you mean "ale"?

If so - no, because (A) Molson Canadian Wheat is a lager; and (B) Molson already makes several ales, including Export and Stock Ale.

Oh geez, my knowledge of Molson beer is apparently pretty limited.

So this will be a wheat lager? Hmm

Thanks! Any chance of a list of what places are getting those kegs? Where do I send my thirsty taste-buds?
I just found out from my colleague @McAuslanUnicorn (twitter) that the Winking Judge will be the first to be pouring in an Ontario bar. There are only 38 kegs to go around -- so most places will likely get only 1 keg - just so most bars and patrons get to enjoy it.

I wish I could post an entire list of bars ... I did this in the past and folks would show up at the bar expecting it to be currently pouring on tap... due to timing of open lines, delivery, etc. the beer would not be ready - physically in the bar -yes - but not ready to pour. Of course, this upsets the customer who traveled a fair distance to try it which in turn upsets the bar owner as they now have a disappointed patron in their bar. Best bet would be to follow the twitter feed mentioned above - she will RT bars that broadcast when the erable is pouring.

TIP: let the pint warm up a bit -- we tried some last month -- at first it is fine ... but when it warms up, the maple aroma and flavours really are robust.

Regarding "Stout in cans" -- wishing and hoping... fingers crossed.

Hope this info is useful.

Cheers,
Barry

Just picked up a bomber at St Lawrence Market even though they aren't showing stock on the site yet.
