Is there any chance that I could expect this to appear in Niagara? thebeerstore.ca does not even list Mad Tom as a product :(

i was thinking the same thing. the tremont location usually gets the 'rarer' beers so im hopeful it will come.
I don’t care what the U.N. says, I don’t recognize countries that don’t produce beer.

Just tried this beer and I think it is pretty stellar. Aroma was a little muted but I think the taste is what many people are looking for. Full review at my site.

Agreed that the aroma is muted and the only real disappointment for me. But this comes way closer to what I look for in an American IPA than anything else I can think that has been brewed in Ontario up to this point that I have tried, with the exception of Smashbomb and Beaver River IPEh? from 2010 and 2009 (ie. not the version that was in the LCBO recently).

The packaging is great also. If you're into that sort of thing. Which I am.

I'll definitely get more of this.

The Beer Store website claims it's in stock all over town. I'm going to roll the dice and see if they have a sixer for my reno job on the basement.

You might have to pay more than a six pack for a reno job. Thats pretty cheap :)

On a side note the beer store in north london had this, I have been drinking it the last two nights. great beer, plan on going back for more.

Picked up two sixers at the Meadowvale Beer Store in Mississauga yesterday. Looks like they had just got it in as it was still on a cart waiting to be placed on the shelf (self-serve store).

This stuff is FLYING off the shelves in London. I went to the Huron & Adelaide store and there's only two six packs left, and a friend of mine told me the Hyland Centre is down to five. I think it's only been available for a day or two? The clerk claimed they sold ten sixers today (I snagged the eleventh). Congrats to Muskoka on getting this to market so quickly - it looks like you might make a few bucks here!

I grabbed the last six off the shelf at the wellend ave beer store in st catharines. The clerk told me that the stuff has been going like hot cakes here too. Looking forward to trying this tonight.
