They still carry Dead Guy.

The others were seasonal and word on the street is that Yellow Snow will be back this winter.

One of the best beers to ever grace the shelves of the LCBO, IMHO. I bought it by the half-case every time I grabbed it, and I'll be doing the same this winter if we're lucky enough to see it again.

That's right, the Kells Irish Style Lager was decent yet pretty ordinary for the price tag. It was (still is?) stunningly expensive at some beer bars as well, but I have a good sense of humor.

Rogue used to be a regular LC Seasonal, and some were pretty good. The Yellow Snow used to be a juniper flavored ale, and the herbal quality reminded slightly of Orval.

I'd most like to see the Rogue Mocha Porter. Maybe the LC can even sell the Imperial Series because Toronto people love 10-20 dollar beers.

Maybe ask the agent why Rogue is disappearing. He still lurks on here but the conversation may get a little tasty if Rabbit shows up.

He's not the agent anymore.

Good question. I think Gren could chime in here cause he likely knows.
