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.
Looks like 3030 Dundas has the St Ambroise Erable now on tap:

$6.25 for the 8 Wired HopWired IPA is a bargain! We're paying $8.99 to $9.99 in Alberta, one of the down sides to a free market, I suppose? :-?

I'll buy a small handful at that price. I think this is 9 bucks at Premier in Buffalo.

Hopefully this sells well enough and we can get Saison Sauvin in at some point.

You never know what you might find at the Crossroads LCBO..

Today:

DV Blanche
DV Dubbel
Dunham APA
Dunham Black IPA

The Dunham 6'ers were randomly stickered at either $11.95 or $7.95.
That's the way she goes. Sometimes she goes, sometimes it doesn't. She didn't go. That's the way she goes.

I was just going to post this but you beat me to it. Instead I'll just add that the Blanche may be all gone as I didn't see any but there were about thirty bottles of Aphrodite. Oddly, the Aphrodite is labelled for import into the US.
I think the remaining Dunham is all marked at $11.95 as I dug to the bottom of the stack and took the last of the $7.95 packs. Dubbel for a twoonie and Aphrodite for a buck and a half. The Dubbel was bottled in June of last year and the DDC says best before June of this year. If there are dates on the Dunham I can't see them.

Pump House Blueberry Ale 473 ml can - saw this at my local. It used to be available a few years ago in 6 x 341 ml bottles. Checked the LCBO website; it is widely available.

Unfortunately, these pleasant surprises have been occurring a lot less frequently at Crossroads. Its been about a year since I've seen any clearance items. I guess fewer people are cancelling or ordering in the first place.

For those who want to know, the Aphrodite and the DV Dubbel seem to be gone now, but DV Blonde, both Dunham six packs and DDC Elixir Celeste are still there in smallish quantities. Might last till Monday or so.

Yep, and Dundurn sold out before it even showed up on the website... Did manage to grab a few RPA and an LTM Signature Maibock over in Dundas. Swapped my summer tires back on yesterday afternoon so I wanted to go for a bit of a drive anyway ;)

The RPA is tasting great, nice and spicy!
