Except for St. Bernies and the Belgian Exclusives, LCBO has really gone out to lunch in this category. Shoot, at least bring back the Maredsous Gift Pack.

Not sure I see the issue. Then again I like English bitters and it seems like there aren't as many as their used to be at the LCBO. I will give this one a try. As for the price, these are all 500 ml bottles and most 500ml bottles of English beers are usually in the 3-4 dollar range.
When I was in Queens Quay last night, they had the tag up for Fullers 2014, but all the bottles on the shelf said Fullers 2013.
Huh. I got a 2014 at Dundas & Dovercourt last week, so there's definitely some new ones in the system as well.
They probably found a couple of cases of last years stock the lost in the warehouse and decided to move it first at QQ. The LCBO are masters of warehouse management.
