That's great news! hopefully by the end of 2015, we'll see some additional styles available both on draft and at the retail level.

Really great news. I hope that Ruination and Sublimely Self-Righteous are not far behind. If they start squeezing in the RIS and Enjoy By I will be extremely happy, but I'm very happy to settle for this as a start!

hate to say it, but having stone/sierranevada at the lcbo will have an impact on the amount of local beers I buy

assuming they arrive somewhat fresh of course

The idea of Enjoy By at the LCBO is downright comical to me. I hope they try it.

I don't know what I would do if Ruination made it into the LCBO.

The thought just makes me giddy with joy.

Ruination is a great brew...haven't had that one in far too long. I've always really liked the Bastard beers - double, lukcy, etc. Those brews I'd get really excited about...but definitely welcome any new additions as I've enjoyed pretty much all Stone beers I've had.

Apparently they are discontinuing Sublimely Self-Righteous

We'll be getting Stone in at the Brux House in the near future. All I know is that an order's been placed.

When I'm stateside I often have Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap, but I don't think I've ever actually bought it here (it has been in BC for a bit). I have drank a fair bit of Torpedo though... it's right up there with Fat Tug, and it's more consistent. Their rep from Seattle was in town last year. He tried to bring a bunch of specialty kegs in, but was turned back at the boarder.

BC got Stone a few months ago, but unfortunately we haven't seen the RIS (or Old Guardian). They make solid brews, but there's a lot of local competition here on the West Coast.

They updated Ruination a year or so ago... so it's boozier now, with a bit more hopping, but I don't like it nearly as much as the original. The original was a great brew, though it really didn't live up to its name in today's market.

Stone in Ontario. Such a long time coming. Love it.

For the brief time it'll be here it'll be the only thing I buy.
