Always regretted not trying the Sam Smiths... and I can drink up the Rogue I was holding on to as well.

Excellent stuff, Peter.

Ah nuts. I hope there's other different stuff available. I know one of my friends is going to be happy about the Esprit ones. I may give the Dead Guy Ale a try and get a sample of the Chocolate Stout from my friend.

They're all repeats but pretty good ones. I wish they'd get more variety in these seasonal releases but then again that means they could replace commonly ordered GOOD beers with rarely ordered CRAP ones...be careful what you wish for...

Oh and Lister...there likely won't be any cream ales in the Fall or winter release. They are typically the seasons of the "dark" beers. Don't be afraid of the dark.

I'm not. I'll get to your other post soon... Work duty calls over a long retort.

Has the Fall Release ever been finalized? In any event, I spotted the following at Wilson and Dufferin yesterday:

- Propeller ESB
- Sam Smith Stout
- St. Peter's Old Style Porter

Presume these are all part of the new release. Particularly glad to see the Propeller.

Would that be Sam Smith's Imperial Stout or Oatmeal Stout?

That’s funny that you mention Propeller, because I was thinking about that yesterday. I remember the guy from Propeller posting on Bartowel months ago that their ESB was chosen. I just couldn’t remember if it was the fall or winter release.

I looked it up on the LCBO web site and there are not many places that have it yet. Although Brockville and Stratford do, which I don't understand. It better find its way to Kitchener or it looks like the wife and I are taking a drive to Stratford. I still haven’t tried the Stratford Pilsner, so a drive to Stratford does not sound all that bad.

I stoppped by my local "LC" this afternoon hoping to find some Urquell at best (not that there is anything wrong with that :wink: ) and was floored to see a large percentage of the Fall Release already on the shelves. I grabbed a Propeller ESB and a Rogue CS for future consumption. :lol:

Sorry O.F., this is slightly unforgivable, I know, but I don't recall. I was in for some wine, and picked up the Propeller when I was pleasantly surprised to see it. I think it was the Oatmeal, but that's a guess.
