This will be entertaining. I've got my popcorn ready.

I think you can add Wag The Wolf to the list as well (whenever it gets listed).

As far a features go, Beau's is too commonly available to be that interesting. But that said, I approve of the styles that they have chosen to make. Old Ale's are always interesting and the other three styles are ones we don't get enough of in the LCBO. I don't think I've ever had a strong beer from Beau's, I wonder how they'll stack up?

10 bucks a piece? Yeah, I'll pass.

Being in Ottawa, this feature excites me exactly none. I will likely get to try all of these as they will be on tap around town, but I won't be shelling out any money at the BO for them.

I don't have an issue with Beau's, but all of these beers will be easily accessible to me and likely most of Ontario (at least the parts that will see the feature) with out having a feature for them. Poor follow up to what I thought was a fantastic Founders feature. Can't win them all I suppose.

That's assuming these beers are going to be available on tap, of course.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were kept exclusive to this feature and available only at the LCBO (with maybe the Beau's brewery store being an exception.)

Also, aside from Venskab, I've never had a Beau's beer that I would've paid $10 for.

Aren't all of these brews new? I've never heard of any of them.

Yeah they're all new. And based on Beau's track record (BA has tracked me as having tried 49 different beers they've made), none of those brews are worth what I paid for them, let alone $10.

They're all new. Some sound quite interesting... if they were under $6 I would buy each one.

But considering people paid $12 for a Vienna Lager from LoB, I'm sure these will sell well without my purchases to aid them.

Safest way to play this is to have 4 guys at a bottle share with each one bringing one bottle.
