May be a bit style-limited, but holy shit this release is amazing.

Yeah, it kinda harkens back to when they used to a dedicated stouts & porters release in January.

Nice.

I'll buy the hell out of Vache Folle Mlk Stout even though I can get it whenever just across the river.

Loving this release.

Pretty happy to see some good Danish representation, and that Deschutes is making its debut (correct me if I'm wrong?) in Ontario.

Between this, the QC feature, and the Halloween release, we'll have very little to complain about. I'll be buying most of these, and I still can't believe Deschutes is coming. Great price on the 8 Ball too.

eh?

pumpkin beer's not for everyone and 15 SKUs of pumpkin beer's just stupid.

no belgian strongs, no blondes, no dubels, tripels, sours.

lots to complain about. now, some nice bones are being tossed (Rochforte 8, Deschutes) but i fucking hate being told what i need to drink in the fall. Michigan's a 5 hr drive away and it blows my mind that we can't drink most of their deliciousness.

To each their own. I enjoy most of the pumpkin beers that are coming and I'm not a fan of the styles you listed, except for sours.

I wouldn't know anything about the great selection in the U.S. as I've only done beer trips in six different states within the last year, with a trip to Boston and New York planned for the fall. Thanks for enlightening me atomeyes. :roll:
