Pretty neat box. Any chance LCBO can general list Saison Dupont?

Also, since no one seems to be bringing in Orval...can you please do it?!? It is another beer that should be general list at the LCBO.

Thanks again, all the best wishes for the Holiday Season. Cheers, Doug Shoemaker

I enjoyed trying the Saison Dupont Cuvée and Oude Geuze Boon for the first time. Both very good beers. The Gouden Carolus selections have been here many times before but I never get tired of either, so was glad to see them return as part of this box. The Framboise Boon didn't do much for me (too sweet for my liking), but I thought the Moinette Brune was a solid, above average Belgian Strong Dark Ale. Overall, a great package that is well worth purchasing IMO, especially since we rarely see multiple "new" Belgians available all at once.

I haven't seen any news regarding the LCBO bringing it back, so curious if anyone else has heard anything about this? There's apparently 20k bottles, which seems like a lot for a private order.

If this turns out to be true I will most certainly be stocking up. Hopefully it sells quickly so the LCBO knows there's demand. I drank my last bottle in 2018 and I've been seriously missing this one.

Hope this is true
good opportunity to return the 10 bottles I've had in my cellar since ~2016

Don't let me down grapevine!

I have a few bottles cellared, bottled around 2013-2016. Though I suspect they are past their prime, It would be interesting to compare them to a new batch. I recall previous shipments to the LCBO would arrive with 8-10 months after bottling. I've always wanted to try super fresh Orval.
