I saw some Porter at the King and Spadina location last Friday, so these are likely just the last few sixers in the province rather than phantom stock!
I picked up a six of the porter there last night and there was a bunch left.

Three Backwoods Bastards at Bay Dundas are phantom stock, apparently - I had hoped to try this one as the Dirty Bastard really grows on me, as good as Alesmith Wee Heavy IMO. If there's any sanity these will be back though.

My wife is down to her last 3 bottles (or as she calls them, "my babies") from the 2 cases of Breakfast Stout we got from the release.

I think she might cry when she drinks the last one. :cry:

Here's a suggestion. One of my favorite road trips was to Grand Rapids last year. In addition to Founders, there are a few excellent breweries both there and on the way. Brewery Vivant in Grand Rapids was amazing. Bells is only a very short detour, and Dark Horse is maybe an extra 30 minutes out of the way.

Jolly Pumpkin and Kuhnhenn are on the way too, if you do it right.

...and if you're going that far, you really ought to keep pushing to Three Floyds. :wink:

The Backwoods is sooooo nice. I'm having my last one now. I am really going to miss this one.

I think the Backwoods was my favourite of this bunch...never tried the pale ale though.

Would be a great idea, if either my wife or I drove... :oops:
