Very old code. Apparently the Ottawa warehouse lost them back in the fall, found them while doing their year-end count and forced them out. We called them right away and asked them to take them off the shelves. :roll:

Good news though: we will have some fresh Stone IPA, Arrogant Bastard and Delicious IPA soon. Supposed to be late May but I'd wager June is more realistic.

Im actually curious about this one and wonder why It took being purchased by a Macro brewer to finally put out a regular-release IPA.

FWIW I find the John Molson strong pale ale a very fine beer..

Very oldfashioned and English rich malty backbone. Fruity and grainy. Nice looking. Good head retentioned. Firmly bitter at first, not a ton of late hopping here. But then recedes as your taste buds adjust and just comes across as balanced. Like a strong ESB and for just over 3 bucks? Makes it a pretty easy but IMO.

We could also use some more sarcasm. Because Mill Street has such a long, storied history of consistently producing excellent IPAs. 8)

Maybe a few togas, too.

Not relevant. If someone is curious about a beer, they don't need to be criticized for it. Disagreeing with others opinions is fine, but disrespectfully shooting them down is not.
