Enjoy it while you can, this is the last of the Ayinger we are likely to see.

Geoffrey.

Any particular reason? Poor sales? Is Martin closing the borders to radical fundamentaist beers?

My bet: Ayinger is pissed off with the LCBO.

seems some snuck into Joes even if it never made it to the LCBO....perhaps an import from the US?..

The product would have to be purchased, tested, and probably shipped through the LCBO. There is no way legally to avoid the monster.

I'd like to see anything American or some quality Munich Lagers from breweries other than Lowenbrau.

I’m all over the American micros these days! “may I have some hops with that please!!!”

I would really like to see the following available over here:

1. Timothy Taylor's Landlord
2. Cains 2008 Celebration Ale
3. Harvestouin Bitter & Twisted

And non-british brews:

4. Any Brooklyn Brewery Ales
5. Any Sierra Nevada Ales

What is the likelyhood of any of these?

Your likelihood is a trip to Premier in Buffalo! Pick me up some Flour City while you’re there! They where in my opinion the best brewery at the buffalo beer fest this year, along with Flour City! (both based out of Rochester...I think)

Welcome to the site, Torontoblue.

Of the beers you list, I believe the Bitter & Twisted might've available at Smokeless Joe at one point. I know that I had a couple of Harviestoun beers there last fall. So there may be hope of seeing it again at some point.

But Beer Geek is right that a trip to Buffalo would be your best bet, especially for the US micros.

We had the Harviestoun at Smokeless Joes for a bit. For Sierra Nevada/ Brooklyn I would suggest a Premier run, or try a private order.

Thanks for the replies, guys, I have heard how good Buffalo is but I'll have to wait a while to cross the border as according to US Border Patrol, "I haven't been a Landed Immigrant long enough to cross the border". I arrived here from the UK in August, tried to cross the border to go to a friends in Boston for Thanksgiving and was promptly turned back - they want at least a 6 to 8 month period before border crossings are allowed! Guess I'll have to order over the web for now., or rely on LCBO.

Happy Holliday's to all.
