an Amarillo beer available in Ottawa?

Can anyone suggest a beer that is available near Ottawa at the LCBO/SAQ/depanneur/nearby brewery that contains a good proportion of Amarillo?

A little background for the reason: I work at a software startup and we decided (with a little coaxing!) to codename all our releases after hop varieties. The last two were Cascade and Saaz so finding those beers was relatively easy. This release is Amarillo and the next two will be Magnum and Chinook (looking forward to this one immensely). The release date is fast approaching and I'm looking for the appropriate beer to share with the team when we announce the release.

Thanks Matt, that's a good choice that I forgot about. The branding and packaging will also appeal to those being introduced to this beer.

Any other options for comparison?

See if you can get over to Gatineau and get the Charlevoix Amarillo Double IPA.

Lately, I have been searching the Gatineau area stores for Charlevoix Amarillo Double IPA but all I could find is the Hercules version.
A great beer also!

Please excuse me for the shameless plug but the following 2 BDT beers
both contain amarillo hops.

Charlevoix Amarillo is sold out unfortunately.

Thanks for the help everyone. Our failed attempt at getting the Vache Folle Amarillo Double IPA will lead to a wonderful tasting of the Herkules instead tomorrow, with the story becoming part of our company's folklore.

I would love to be able to have Le Diable au Corps or Carpe Diem instead - maybe in the fall?
