I was also able to pick up my order this week and found the process to be quite painless. No Unearthly though; mine was just IPA.

I picked up my un*earthly today and it is really tasty. Thanks R&R keep us posted on the next order.

Here is some information from a Southern Tier press release. They are certainly making news (and they even mention Ontario)! Those of you who have ordered- enjoy the read as you sip a cold Southern Tier brew:)

Southern Tier Brewing Company Ranked in Top 50 in US

June 21, 2007 – Southern Tier Brewing Company has been listed in the top 50 American Breweries in the June 2007 issue of BeerAdvocate magazine. Of nearly 1400 breweries and brew pubs in the US, being named the top 2.5% (35th) is quite an achievement for the young company. This listing comes on the heals of the May/June 2007 issue of The New Brewer Journal of the Brewers Association which listed the brewery as the 39th largest in America in 2006, noting an increase in volume of 140% since 2005. In addition to these accolades, the 2007 Tap New York Beer Festival recently awarded Southern Tier’s ‘Unearthly’ Imperial India Pale Ale “Best Beer in New York State” at Hunter Mountain. ‘Unearthly’ was also named the 81st “Best Beer in the World” by BeerAdvocate in their May 2007 issue. The October issue of Bon Appétitmagazine will have an article featuring Southern Tier’s ‘Hoppe’ Imperial Extra Pale Ale.

Southern Tier Brewing Company of Lakewood, New York, has been in operation since 2004, and currently produces 6,000 barrels annually, equivalent to nearly 2 million bottles of beer. Beer drinkers in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Illinois, Michigan, Maryland, Washington, DC and Ontario, Canada are now enjoying hand crafted ales brewed in Lakewood, New York.

How did you find the IPA? I've had the Un*earthly before, but am consideing getting a case of their regular IPA.

Both the IPA and the Phin & Matt's are excellent beers with a good hop bite to them. Neither is as aggressive as the Unearthly, but they're both great ales, perfect for sessions.

Love the IPA. For the price I'll likely always be getting a case on these orders.

That's good to hear. The un*earthly is great once in a while, but its so strong (11%). The IPA at 6.5% seems more manageable.

I find the IPA to be excellent too. Similar to DFH 60.

With a 3rd order just gone out (or about to?) is there any info as to when we should expect the 2nd order to arrive?

I find that the ST IPA is a little less sweet than 60 Minute which puts its over top of the 60 Minute in my book.

Southern Tier is definitely one of the best breweries out there. I've only had 1 beer from them that I didn't like.

The deposit charge showed up on my CC statement a couple weeks ago. I take that to be a good sign, though R&R tells me that the LCBO is backed up at the moment and that it still may be a while yet.

Roland + Russell · Post by **Roland + Russell** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:27 pm

We received word late today that the Southern Tier order should reach the LCBO Private Ordering warehouse on August 9. We can't state though how much time will be required for the LCBO to release the product.

Roland + Russell will endeavour to keep you updated as best we can.

Hey folks,
These comments about the IPA being similar o DFH 60 are about to convince me to grab a case!
I had been looking at the Harvest Ale however. It's interested me for awhile, but I guess I have some questions.....
- has anyone had teh Harvest Ale....can you compare it to any other brews available around here?
- I know it's seasonal, but if, by the other post, private orders for Xmas time need to get in 'now', I assume Harvest Ale could be added to a Souther Tier order at this time of year as delivery will be months down the road?
Obviously my decision is easier if Harvest Ale won't be possible for this impending order.
Cheers!

I reviewed their Harvest Ale last year. I seem to have liked it.
