no luck yet?? I personally hold the Terrible in very high regard, well above the other Unibroue beers, most which I like.

I have good information that tells me that the Bloor & Spadina store is carrying 750ml bottles of Terrible, but also Fringante, La Fin du Monde, Blanche de Chambly and Maudite.

Probably worth checking out.

Fringante is good to see. I don't suppose there is much chance of Don de Dieu coming into Beer Stores too?

And FWIW I personally would rather see a wider selection of their beers than the choice of sealant for a bottle... Especially, as (as with wine) I am of the opinion that corks cause far more problems than they are currently worth.

Anyone spot any of the 750ml Unibroue bottles at The Beer Store lately? I've been to 3 or 4 with no luck. Anyone actually buy any or is still rumours?

Happy Hunting, Doug Shoemaker

Nowhere to be found in London either..........

Which sucks, because it simply kicks ass.

I liked the second bottle of Terrible I got from Xmas, so I just grabbed a few more bottles at Bloor-Spadina yesterday. I left just one bottle of T for the next guy or gal. No Fringante was to be had.

Lots of other Uni-Bombers (sorry!) including Maudite, LFDM, Bl de Ch.

2041, 2142, 2312, 2303, 2321, 4613, 4626, 4643

Please post if you find out the store specifics!

Wow, those 3 Toronto stores are all within a ten minute walk from my house. Good planning TBS management! Works for me, sucks for most of the GTA to have them so concentrated.
