New non-LCBO/TBS beer releases
Is this at the Leaside brewery or the brewpub downtown?rfrf wrote:Join us this Sat Dec. 6 for Double Tempest day! We'll have a special flight with Tempest, Double Tempest, Sour Cherry & Full City Tempest!
Beer, not just for breakfast anymore.
As am I. They originally said late September or early October but when that came and went they told me it'd likely be a 2015 release.instantkamera wrote:Yeah Motley wont be till April, but I'm waiting for BA Omerta...mgmoney wrote:Picked up some Bellwoods Brettalhead...looks like a ton of stuff coming soon from them ...including Motley Cru
I don't want to speak for them, but I'm betting the flights are downtown. Last year they did flights and bottle sales downtown and you could get bottles at Leaside too.MetalHead wrote:Is this at the Leaside brewery or the brewpub downtown?rfrf wrote:Join us this Sat Dec. 6 for Double Tempest day!

Info on the Double Tempest release:
Amsterdam Brewery is proud to announce the release of the 2014 batch of Barrel Aged Double Tempest on Saturday December 6th. This 14% Imperial Stout was aged in freshly emptied Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels for 11 months, and will be released in very limited quantities at both the Amsterdam BrewHouse retail store at 245 Queen's Quay W, as well as the Amsterdam Brewery retail store at 45 Esandar Dr.
Using double the malts and double the hops that are in Tempest Imperial Stout, the brewing team at Amsterdam has created a beer full of dense chocolate and deep malt flavours with a rich, candied bourbon oak finish from the barrel aging. According to Brewmaster Iain McOustra, "Double Tempest was really an experiment in taking those base Tempest flavours and really just trying to get as many of those flavours as we could into a beer. I think the barrel really drew it all together." There is a vanilla softness to the beer with a bourbon kick from the Buffalo Trace barrels, making for a surprisingly smooth 115 IBU, 14% Imperial Stout. Double Tempest will also age well for up to 3 years.
Double Tempest is one of Amsterdam's most requested and popular Adventure Brews, and the brewery will be celebrating its release at the Amsterdam BrewHouse by offering a special Imperial Stout flight (with samples of Tempest, Double Tempest, Full City Tempest with Kona Coffee, and Sour Cherry Imperial Stout included). There will also be a rare collection of Adventure Brews, casks as well as collaborations and brews from friends of the Amsterdam Brewery on tap for the event. Bottles of Barrel Aged Double Tempest will be available in both the BrewHouse & Brewery retail stores when they open at 11am, and the first ten customers to purchase Double Tempest at each location will receive a limited edition linocut Double Tempest poster. Bottles will cost $15 each and will be limited to 4 per customer, and any customer that purchases 4 bottles of Double Tempest will receive a complimentary Amsterdam Adventure Brew pint glass.
I wonder how early you need to line up to be one of the first 10 in line....Cass wrote:Info on the Double Tempest release:

Nice. I like the Laird LCBO, during the summer I randomly stumbled upon some 2013 Tempest there and bought a whole bunch. I also went down the road to the Coxwell/Danforth LCBO and snagged the last two 2013 Muskoka Winter Beards.Belgian wrote:I snagged a few Double Tempest at the Leaside LCBO (Eglinton Laird) last year. No big drama, just went in and bought 'em. This was some time after the nearby Brewery release, and it's a good store to drop by if you're by Amsterdam anyway for your 'non-LCBO' goodies..
Last year you didn't have to be there all that early, I don't think.ercousin wrote:I wonder how early you need to line up to be one of the first 10 in line....Cass wrote:Info on the Double Tempest release:
